desertcart.com : 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) : Pet Supplies

Review: Perfection. - 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.
Review: BEST BIRD LIGHT COMBO EVER! - 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.

## Features

- ALLOWS YOU TO SIMULATE NATURAL PHOTOPERIOD: In nature, birds experience a cycle of light. This natural photoperiod triggers and regulates hormones in birds. Our scientifically developed birdcage light mimics these photoperiods by using consistent lighting intervals when connected to a timer for happier birds.
- FULL SPECTRUM LED: Birds have different needs from reptiles, and commonly used UVB pet lights can be damaging to their eyes, leading to cataracts and blindness in some species. M&M bird lights feature a proprietary Full Spectrum LED, without UV, that is gentle on eyes, glare-free, and healthy to use at any distance.
- BIRD SAFE: Unlike other bird lights, ours are designed to be safely used around soft billed birds such as finches and canaries, but are also a great and safe option for aquariums, terrariums, amphibians, and reptiles. For more destructive chewers or hook billed birds, we recommend our cage light with chew guard.
- ECONOMICAL: M&M Cage lights come with everything you need to safely install and use your lights, including power supply, mounting hardware, and stainless steel wire ties. With no pricey bulbs to replace and water-resistant housing for worry-free cleaning, you and your bird will enjoy our light for years.
- EASY INSTALLATION: Your bird can start basking in natural-looking, full-spectrum light in minutes! Attach light inside or on top of the cage, fastening firmly to the cage wires with the provided mounting brackets. Secure power cord using cable ties. Connect to our sinrise/sunset timer (desertcart #B09NQDDM7P) and start enjoying the benefits.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How wide are the grid bars appart on the 18"?**
A: The grid cover openings are rectangular. Each is about 3/4 inch long, 1/2 inch wide.

**Q: What is the optimum distance if I want to hang it over the cage?  Is there a maximum distance?**
A: There is no maximum distance. The only downside is that the higher you go; the dimmer the light is on the bird and birds REALLY like light.

**Q: My vet recently told me I need to replace the bulbs in any cage light every 6 months due to losing effectiveness. Is that the case with this one?**
A: While LEDs do not burn out like fluorescent lamps and other bulbs they will, however, degrade and dim over time. The diode itself will begin to emit less and less light as the years pass. Still, LED lamps can last over 25,000 hours.

So the answer is that led will over time stop producing quality of light birds need over time as they get dimmer but talk to manufacture how long their model last before loosing its effectiveness.

**Q: How long it cable I would like to know if it would reach my recaptical**
A: The light's cord is 5.5 feet, the adapter's cord is 1 foot. I can always make special lengths.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ There’s everything to love about this bird light!
*by A***S on April 22, 2021*

I have an African Grey, Wrigley, and I bought the 24 inch light that runs the length of his cage. While I’m not going to spend much time comparing this light to my former light with a rickety stand, and an expensive bulb that lasted for approximately one year, I will say I wish I’d had more information before I bought it. I’ve critiqued this M&M light in enough detail that I hope it’s helpful for anyone considering buying it. This light is one very well thought-out bird light! The light fixture itself is slim and streamlined right out of the box. A sturdy metal grid enclosure protects the LED, and is designed in such a manner that when mounted on top of his cage as directed, Wrigley can’t get at it. That’s saying something because he’s clever, and not easily confounded. The light is an LED - it’s very energy efficient, there’s no heat to worry about, it will last just short of forever, and LED lights are eco-friendly (bonus!). I didn’t realize how dim my former light was until I lit up this light - it floods the full length of his cage with beautiful bright light! No dim areas! The metal covering on the electrical cord running out of the fixture itself is substantial. It’s also super flexible, and surprisingly long. Flexible enough to be trussed to the bars/frame of the cage and keep it away from my bird; and long enough to be routed around the frame of a very large cage, and keep it out of sight. Flat metal zip ties pull super tight to hold the the cord where I place it. Wrigley is not going to get into trouble with that cord! (Caveat: as sturdy as the metal covering is, I’m maniacally careful with any cord cover with my bird. He could bite the bumper off of a truck.) M&M suggests attaching a timer (sold separately) for “consistent lighting intervals,” and I’m glad I took this suggestion. The timer makes turning the light off and on literally hands off. Installation was dummy-proof, and I ought to know because I’m a dummy when it comes to things like this. I had a question or two, and Mark in Customer Service at M&M could not have been more helpful. He told me the company now provides larger, better fitting brackets with the light. He sent me two of them, and they fit perfectly! With the new brackets, it took me approximately 20 minutes to install the light, and route the cord. If Wrigley hadn’t helped me so much, it would’ve taken 15 minutes tops!
