The Avian Sun 5.0 UVB Compact Fluorescent provides birds with safe levels of beneficial UVB and UVA for physical and psychological health. UVB enables birds to synthesize vitamin D3 for proper calcium metabolism which is necessary for normal growth, maintenance of strong bones, and egg production. UVA is visible to birds, enabling them to recognize mates, locate food, and identify different species. Without UVA, birds are essentially colorblind!

AvianSun 5.0 UVB compact fluorescent lamp: The AvianSun 5.0 provides UVB and UVA in levels that are comparable to what would be received in the shade outdoors. We have found that this is a safe and effective level of exposure and can be used to provide birds with a normal photoperiod, without providing too much UVB. If the level was the same as that of the sun, the lamp could only be left on for short periods of time, and the bird would be without light for a portion of the day. This lamp should be used for 8 to 10 hours per day to provide visible light, UVB, and UVA (this is a TRUE full spectrum lamp). The lamp should be situated so that it is approximately 12 to 18 inches from where the bird might normally perch. Watch out for other “full spectrum” lamps that provide only UVA and visible light.
