Arcadia Bird PureSun Compact Kit UVB Lighting System for Bird Cages

The PureSun Compact Kit represents the latest advancement in compact fluorescent lighting technology from Arcadia Bird. Compact lamps with the right design can generate a substantial amount of essential light. They're user - friendly, flicker - free, and don't need external ballasts or controls. However, in pet care, they've faced major limitations, especially the lack of proper reflectors. This has made compact lighting for birds and other animals often ineffective and sometimes dangerous. The PureSun Compact Kit addresses this long - standing issue through advanced computerized modeling. It maximizes the downward flow of light, bringing an easy - to - use and affordable reflector kit to bird enthusiasts. The kit comes standard with a PureSun Compact reflector hood, a clip - on metal safety grill, a bolt - secured cage adapter with a switched lamp holder, and a genuine Arcadia Bird PureSun - Compact 20w lamp. When installing the lighting, always place it directly above the bird's head at the appropriate distance according to the species' needs. The lamp should be positioned to direct as much light downward as possible. Arcadia Bird and Reptile compact lamps are of the highest quality, using German technology. They're flicker - free, UV - C free, and feature the efficient '3U' design. Unlike difficult - to - use pigtail compacts, '3U' lamps have a larger surface area for better light emission. The PureSun Compact Kit's exclusive reflector ensures that light from all lamp surfaces is effectively reflected, providing clean and stable illumination. Birds rely on sunlight for both vision and vital biological processes like the natural D3 cycle. Check our 'Parrot Magazine' education section on the website for more details. The PureSun Compact Kit comes fully equipped for immediate use. Its uniquely designed bolt - through cage lamp holder offers safety and stability with an anti - tamper two - part wire clamp. The lamp holder has a switch for easy operation, and you can also use good - quality timers. The clip - on safety grill allows maximum light into the cage while protecting the lamp. This kit is suitable for most small to medium - sized wire cages and smaller bird species such as Budgerigars, small parakeets, Senegal and Meyers Parrots, Canaries, finches, and small doves.

Using the PureSun Compact Kit is a breeze. First, take out all the components from the kit - you've got a reflector hood, a safety grill, a cage adapter with a switched lamp holder, and a 20w lamp. Attach the cage adapter to your small to medium - sized wire cage using the bolts provided. Make sure it's secure. Then, place the lamp in the holder. You can turn the lamp on and off using the switch on the holder, or you can set a photoperiod with a good - quality timer. Attach the reflector hood and the safety grill. Position the whole setup directly above your bird's head. The distance should be right for your bird species, so check the species - specific requirements. Always remember, the lamp should be positioned to send light downwards, not sideways to the bird's eyes. When it comes to maintenance, keep the lamp and the reflector clean. Wipe them gently with a soft, dry cloth from time to time. If the lamp burns out, replace it with a genuine Arcadia Bird PureSun - Compact 20w lamp. Also, regularly check the bolts on the cage adapter and the wire clamp for tightness to ensure safety and stability.
