## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many hours of light does a bulb provide over life of bulb or if bird receives 7 hours of light daily, approx. how many days will the bulb last?**
A: We're using this light for our Budgies (along with a thermostatly controlled heater) set on a timer of 12 hours per day.  The bulb lasted us 4 years + 1 month.  We're purchasing another since it has worked well and helped to keep our birds healthy.

**Q: Would this bulb fit any lamp?**
A: I'm not totally sure although I don't see why it wouldn't fit into any lamp because the bulb base is the same size as that of any other light bulb. It really should sit above the cage to avoid the bird from looking into the light. It can damage the bird's eyes (cause cataracts) if they look directly into the light too much. It is for that reason that I only use them with the Avian Sun Deluxe Floor Lamp. That is the only lamp that is high enough to reach over the top of my cages. Check with your vet. They should be able to answer for sure.

**Q: Is there a special fixture I should use for this bulb and if so where can I get it? On Amazon?have one of those silver clip on fixtures. can use it?**
A: I bought the Zoo Med AvianSun Deluxe Floor Pet Lamp.  I would check your silver clip on feature and make sure that it is at least 12" away from your bird... that is the recommended bulb height from your bird.  I can tell you that if you've never used this bulb before you will notice a HUGE difference in the happiness of your bird, I noticed it right away with mine.  My bird loves sitting under the light.  I even have my bird cage sitting in front of a window... but on cloudy days the sun is shinning very bright and is depressing even to people.  If your silver clip on feature has a regular light bulb socket then I would try, FeatherBrite 15 Watt Full-Spectrum Bulb or this one... they both have the regular light socket size screw in.

**Q: How long are these good for?**
A: 11 months is good . They say 12 months

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best ever bird's sunshine Avian Sun bulb!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for my budgies!
*by M***S on 1 December 2020*

I use this product to provide more light for my 6 budgies; our house is quite shaded and they really appreciate getting more light. It’s the best I can do, aside from having their cage outside. They definitely like it, and sit under it a lot. The bulbs definitely do last a year, or a bit longer. Mine is on all day, for about 12 hours, but very reliable.
