ZooMed Avian Sun Bulb
Product Description
The AvianSun™ 5.0 UVB Compact Fluorescent Bulb from Zoo Med is a true full spectrum bulb specifically for birds", that provides visible light, UVA, and UVB. This bulb is designed for use with Zoo Med's new AvianSun™ Deluxe Floor-Lamp.
The AvianSun™ Full Spectrum Bulb allows bird keepers to provide their birds with true full spectrum light, including UVB and UVA, just like they get in nature!
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!
