HappyBird Lighting Bird Cage Light with Chew Guard - Full Spectrum LED Pet Light - Simulates Natural Environment - Safe for Hookbill Birds – Easy to Install - (18" Long)

I only write reviews on products I either love or hate. This, I LOVE. Best bird invention ever. The light itself is great. Easy to install. But, if you want the most out of this light you HAVE to get the programmable dimmer. It’s AMAZING! I wanted to watch the dimming process the first night because I wanted to make sure I had everything programmed correctly, which is very easy to do, but I ended up watching my bird instead. His behavior went from a caged bird to a bird in the wild. As soon as the dimming starts I could see a shift in his body language. He went to one of his favorite places to perch and sleep. He stretched his wings, and yawned and yawned. He also watched the light that first night, I’m sure because it is something new in his cage. I could see him relax and kind of settle down to sleep. It was so cool to see him do what he would do naturally in the wild. So different than before I got the light and dimmer. I’m telling all my bird friends to get this setup. It is just a little bit pricey, but so worth the money. Bucky certainly approves.

I bought this light for our cockatiel. Our home doesn’t let in a lot of natural light and, even making an effort to put his cage in front of a window, I worry that he’s not getting enough light.You can tell that this light kit was designed by someone who understands birds and how to make products which are sturdy and safe enough for them. When I saw that the long power cable was protected by steel conduit, I knew that this was the right choice and I wasn’t wrong. After the initial shock of something new on his cage, he immediately seemed to appreciate the new light and he spent several minutes just kind of looking around as if he were seeing his various toys for the first time, which might literally be the case considering that parrots see differently from us, including UV. This light emits UVA but not UVB, meaning that they’ll appreciate the improved visual (to them) spectrum but also that their eyes will be safe from harm. This also means that we’ll need to continue to ensure that they get enough vitamin D through their diet. My homework led me to understand that while full spectrum bulbs (UVA+UVB) can help birds to create vitamin D, there’s significant concern that those bulbs put birds at great risk for cataracts and other eye conditions. This M&M light kit is presumably safe.I bought the 18” model with chew guard. It uses about 11.5W of power according to my meter and remains cool to the touch. Their website indicates that if, in the worst case scenario, the bird was able to get ahold of the unshielded power cable and chew through it, the voltage is too low to cause harm. I’m not using the included timer but instead a smart outlet, and if I were to do it again I’d probably skip the kit with timer and just buy the light with power supply. I’ll be controlling it manually but if I want to set a timer, I can do that through home automation. It’s working great so far.I bought this light kit mostly for his general happiness and to support his circadian rhythm. It’s only been a day but he seems to love it so far and I really couldn’t be happier.

Just like the pictures shows. Perfect size for my cage. Very durable and well made. Makes my birds happy and comfy in their home. Doesn’t heat up, but provides my hookbills the light they need! Be sure to order the right light for your birds-it comes in hookbill and softball options. My Parakeets love it and I ended up buying a second one when I upgraded to my larger double wide cage! Very lightweight and easy to install! A must buy!

The plug-in on the light broke when I bumped it with the vacuum cleaner real easily. Unfortunately, I reached out to the company and I also had to do was shoot them a text sent them a picture and they’re in the process of sending me a new plug that’s customer service for you. Good company. Update I got the new plug on Monday I called them Friday freaking amazing customer service

I bought this light to replace the stand up lamp light I had for my AG Congo. They discontinued the bulbs made for the lamp and I had to find an alternative light source for her. I read the description and the reviews on this and I took a chance. So glad I did! I was surprised at how much brighter and nicer this light is. She was happier for sure with it. I did get the additional timer that attaches to it and I highly recommend that as well. I am very pleased with both items. She has caused no damage to it at all with her beak which usually does a number on everything. I have had it for a few months now and it is perfect. Very good buy! Worth the investment. Even if the bulb eventually dies out, I think I will just buy a whole new unit. (They don't appear to be replaceable.)

Highly recommend this product for your birds at home. Eliminates expensive Fluorescent lights.
