Just stumbled across your CZcams channel last night, I appreciate what you do and your research
thank you Mark. why you are not making more videos ?
thank you i almost bought a reptile lamp for my birds and when i was searching for the best out i found your video , now i wont .
I just ordered 3 of your light strips. Looking forward to my feathered friend not being in a dim room anymore. I bought the ones with the chew guards.
How should I program the timer for Budgies? Great video btw!
Thanks a bunch for this info!!! It’s Super helpful!
Very good thankyou!
Very nice!!!
I just want to tell you how much I appreciate this. I'm still new to bird-keeping; I'm learning a lot, and really want to do what's best for my birds. I was going to fork out the $86 to buy the featherbrite fixture, but I now know that would be a waste of money. Thank you very, very much.
Thank you so much Sir. Greetings from Germany
Hey Mark! Thank you so much for this video. I really enjoyed learning about the full spectrum lighting, you did an awesome job explaining it. Now I have to order your light strip for my baby budgie and feel good that I won't be harming him.
As you explained in the video about needing a timer, I live on the Northeast coast. What would be the appropriate time settings? Also, do you offer a timer as well? Now I must watch your other videos and see if it was mentioned. Thanks again!! :)
Mark, I watched the shorter version first, and I have to say this one does a great job of the deep dive into the science behind it. And I am about only half way through the video but I wanted to know what you recommend lighting for? Is it for simulating longer daylight hours for breeding purposes? Do you think it really does help birds see their food better? I am wondering if it will help wean a baby quaker from formula to including fresh veggies with their pellet/seed mix.

Do you have any demonstrations on bar UVB lights?
Very good and thank you. I had to build my own led bulbs, in order to see if the steaks were the right shade of red, and not just blue, green or yellow, as the commercial bulbs shows you.
if birds can see 10 or more times than us humane beeings, it is inhumane to give them fluorescent light, or a quartz burner emitting a single blast of uv, meant for sterilizing hospital germs..
Very good information, so let us build some good light for our pets.
As they live in 12/12 equator, we dont face seasons only the rythm of the day, but I would go for a good single lamp as it is easy, as the lamp(s) that simulates morning till evening is way more expensive to make. The bulbs I use in my house is made for my eyes, but green plants love them as well for growing, but wont flower as we all have certain preferences.
Would be easier if we could ask the bird, what to make :-)
Thank you for a good walktrue in the walley of deads :-))
I have a grow rack right beside my budgie cage. Is this ok or not? Lights are not directly on them, they are beside the cage and usually below the birds.
Hi Mark, great video!
I rescue pigeons, i have a pigeon room with no windows, where i keep pigeons for recovery in cat transport boxes. they don't stay there for long, so i don't really care about uva/uvb, i just want a light with a good spectrum so they aren't interrupted in there view..
I was going for a T5 39w bulb with 4000k to 5500 K, they are around 6€ for one, not want to go with led. for some private reason.
Do you think it will give them a good light, I don't want them to get active or breedy from the light, i just want them to relax till they can be released again..
would give them 10 hours light per day.
hope you can help me :) best wishes
Thank you very much! More people sholud see this video, but it is too long for many.. please shoot a shorter version!
I know but I didn't want to cut any info and at my age I just can't change from being monotonous. Just ask any number of my ex-wives :(
Hey there, I noticed that your nights don't have diffusers on them. That is concerning because LEDs are harmful to the birds eyes if they look directly into them
Good question. Unlike other sources of lighting where all of the light comes from one bright bulb my lights have many diodes that produce light spread out over the entire distance. For example, my 24” light has 148 diodes therefore each diode is .05% as bright as an incandescent bulb.
Hey Mark,
I just bought your 24” parrot cage light bar off Amazon. I currently run the Arcadia UVA/UVB light. My cockatiel loves getting right under it as it is on top of the cage a few inches away from him. He looks directly into the bulb and fake bites the light bulb and chortles. I’m afraid for his eye sight. I do have one concern though: doesn’t LED also cause macular degeneration and cataracts? Anyways, can’t wait to get your light in the mail. It costed almost a hundred bucks, so I hope my little guy likes it!
My lights only have wavelengths in the visible spectrum which is safe for any bird at any distance. The only published study that I know of concerning damage to bird’s eyes concerns UVB.
OMG, 45 minute commercial to try and sell me his lights. Tell me he is not prejudiced!!! LOL
hi mark,
can you please let us know how many kelvin in your light and the CR thank you
The CRI is 94. The kelvin is proprietary. You can see a spectrograph on my website
@@markschack5668 thank you
can you please give me the link in your website for a spectrograph i don't find it
@@thedestractor www.breedingcage.com/blogs/news/benefits-of-artificial-lighting
Scroll down a little
@@markschack5668 thank you
So should I use I light at all. If I do want to use a light what should I use?
Yes, there are still advantages to artificial light as can be seen in this article
www.breedingcage.com/blogs/news/benefits-of-artificial-lighting
These are the advantages of my lights
czcams.com/video/yMvDa7QcfDQ/video.html
What the distance for indian ring neck and green conure ? I mean the light and bird distance ? Please need answer I just bought M&M bird light
There is no minimum distance
I skimmed some research articles saying uvb may be helpful for birds and research showing improvements for chickens. can you please address this? They showed improvements in vit d showing benefiits in feather health, flock recognition and a couple other things
additionally they used really long photoperiods for the chickens = 18 hr
and also, im not trying to hate, because i just bought your light on amazon but I still dont know why your light is much better for birds than other bird lights that are also set to a photoperiod
I did address those “types of comments” but I am only aware of little true research. Typically people copy paste information known since the 50’s as it pertains to humans guessing or lying that it applies to birds.
Chickens are HIGHLY studied because they are a multi billion dollar industry. You would not treat a parrot like a chicken. The objective in chickens is to prepare them for the dinner plate in less than a year.
@@markschack5668 yes I defintly found the part of your video that explained your lights were better. I guess you're right, couldn't find research for parrots but ill keep looking. thank you
If UVB is not recommended for indoor parrots what are your suggestions for vitamin D3? Supplements? Diet?
Yes, diet. I have personally never seen a vitamin D supplement.
i will trust you and buy your light because i love my bird, way too much
the fact that youre an engineer helps a lot too
I just forwarded some parts.
Mark how do find your website?
@linda volzer here is the link www.breedingcage.com
What kind of lights I should get for my zebra finches
Depending on the size of your cage one of these. www.breedingcage.com/collections/pet-lights-for-softbills
@@markschack5668 it’s one of those pawhut double cages with the divider in the middle 😬
A 24” across both cages.
Ordered two of them should get them next week 😚 thank you
I heard LED light is bad for birds, what are your recommendations?
There is nothing in an LED light that is bad for birds. I used mine for many years and have thousands of happy customers.
What about the Sperti UV lamps? They help you make vitamin D and tan 🤔
Those are designed for humans. They would 100% guaranteed damage a bird’s eyes.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I have a single question about lights for a budgie, are colorful LED lights safe?
Are you referring to the RGB lights where you can change the color? My guess would be that they are not unsafe. I wouldn’t have them constantly changing and if you set them at some funky color the birds may not like it but I doubt if it would harm them.
@@markschack5668 Yes! Those are exactly the ones I was talking about. Thank you so much for responding!
Wow you lost a lot of weight from 3 years ago. WTG
😁 thanks for noticing
@@markschack5668 I’ve been noticing I’ve gained this past year. I saw your photo and it encouraged me.
I just purchased the 24in light for my African Grey hoping to provide more enrichment and balance into his routine. (Amazon’s description for your light is full spectrum by the way!) To be completely honest watching this video from 3 years ago on your “research” which seems very one sided all while showing research that’s from 20 years ago and not proving any comparison to your product doesn’t prove anything to me other than this is strictly marketing. I rather use a bulb from zoomed for avains that’s backed by research and studies showing how in healthy and appropriate usage UVA and UVB is beneficial. Also the fact you’re using regular bulbs and a reptile bulb none of which are even close to be accurate for bird use shows ignorance. I’ll be returning this light and going with my other option.
The point of this video was to pass along proven facts about the science of light and how it’s physically impossible for an artificial light to simulate natural sunlight. The facts are based on physics which hasn’t changed in thousands of years let alone 20. It was not a promotional video for my light. Please pass on all of the research and studies that zoo med has done for their light, I would love to see it. There is nothing published and when I contacted the company and asked for the data I got no reply. To find marketing for my light I have it on my website under the education tab. Be sure to read the article that explains how lights like zoo meds damages a bird’s eyes, it has a link to a published, peer reviewed study on the subject.
For anyone reading this post I beg you, please please please do not put a reptile lamp over your bird even if it comes in a box that says it’s for birds.
Kind of confused here. On your site you guys say "But, good UV-emitting bird lighting, fitted correctly, does help captive birds immensely." What lights are you referring to exactly? Full spectrum lights? The ones you sell, or the ones that are making these claims? Just trying to understand so I am not wasting money, and obviously want a happy pet.
