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.

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.)

In the long dark days of Canadian winter my bird was doing a lot of sleeping, now he's more active, playing, talking and whistling all day. The light is clean and bright. I put mine off to one side of the cage so my bird can choose to sit in direct 'sunlight' or over in indirect light - where he still goes for his afternoon nap - he spends most of the day in the bright light making comments :D

Bright, doesn't heat up, and actually seems chew proof! I bought an 18" for a 24" degu cage, great size. Unfortunately because of the ledges I had to mount it on the door but the included hardware worked perfectly even for my mad plan. Fastest, easiest installation ever. The girls haven't stopped sunbathing since they got it! One is literally pressed up against it right now. Ordering a second one immediately for the bottom half of the cage.

As a proud owner of Caiques, ensuring their safety and well-being is paramount, and this product delivered on every front.First and foremost, the delivery was impressively fast, which was a pleasant surprise. Upon unboxing, I was immediately impressed by the quality of the product. The build feels sturdy and durable, giving me confidence that it will last for a long time.Installation was a breeze. It required minimal effort and time, which I greatly appreciated. Within minutes, I had the light set up in my birds' cage, ready to illuminate their space.One of the standout features of this light is its chew guard. As any bird owner knows, Caiques can be quite playful and curious, often nibbling on anything within their reach. The chew guard provided peace of mind, knowing that my birds are safe from any electrical hazards.The full spectrum LED light provides optimal lighting conditions for my Caiques, mimicking natural sunlight and promoting their overall well-being. I've noticed an improvement in their activity levels and mood since using this light.Overall, I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

After thorough research of the various types of light available, I decided on this one to replace an Arcadia which needed a new bulb. The Arcadia and similar lights promote that their bulbs produce UV-A and UV-B which they feel essential for indoor birds, however my own research leads me to believe that UV-B is a no-no and can cause eye damage.These LED lights produce no UV light so no harmful UV-B (and UV-A goes through glass so our parrot gets some as his cage is near a large window) and are otherwise full spectrum with a high Colour Rendering Index.It seems well made and well thought through in terms of design. I also bought the timer from the same company.The main thing is, the parrot loves it! He rarely used to sit under the Arcadia, whereas with this one, he will actually go back to his cage and sit under it. I also feel he is happier to be left in his cage in general since installing this light, seems it makes for a more relaxed and contented parrot!Highly recommended.

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!
