{"product_id":"zoo-med-aviansun-5-0-uvb-compact-fluorescent-bulb","title":"Zoo Med AvianSun 5.0 UVB Compact Fluorescent Bulb","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 26W compact fluorescent made for companion birds rather than reptiles, intended to be mounted directly above the cage or main perch. Position matters more here than with a reptile lamp: birds regulate their own exposure by moving around the cage, and a lamp mounted at the side gives them almost nothing. It has to sit overhead, and it cannot shine through a cage cover or glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUVA and UVB output\u003c\/strong\u003e — for indoor birds with no access to unfiltered sunlight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e26W compact fluorescent\u003c\/strong\u003e — self-ballasted, screw base.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e12 month service life\u003c\/strong\u003e — longer than Zoo Med's reptile compacts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUsing it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMount directly overhead, roughly 30–50cm above the cage or the bird's main perch, and run it 10–12 hours a day on a timer to keep a consistent day length.
