Product Description
The Avian Sun 5.0 UVB compact fluorescent lamp is a great choice for your birds' well - being. It emits safe levels of beneficial UVB and UVA rays, which are crucial for both their physical and psychological health. UVB rays help birds synthesize vitamin D3, which is essential for proper calcium metabolism. This is key for normal growth, keeping bones strong, and enabling egg production. UVA rays are visible to birds, allowing them to recognize their mates, find food, and distinguish between different species. Without UVA, birds can't see colors properly! The lamp is made of glass and plastic and has a power of 26 watts.
Using this lamp is easy. Just install it in a suitable fixture near your bird's cage. Make sure the lamp is placed at a proper distance so that your bird can get the right amount of UVB and UVA rays. Don't put it too close as it might overheat your bird. As for maintenance, regularly check the lamp for any signs of damage. If the lamp stops working or starts flickering, it's time to replace it. Also, keep the lamp clean by gently wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Remember, this lamp is designed specifically for birds, so don't use it for other purposes.
