The Vision Daytime Basking Light is a top - notch daytime heat provider for smaller bird cages, such as the Vision bird home. Your home's normal room temperature might seem cozy to you, but it's way too cold for many tropical birds. This cold environment can harm your bird's health and disrupt its sleeping routine. Different bird species come from different climates, so cage temperatures need to be adjusted accordingly. This basking light is perfect for creating a natural daytime light cycle and temperature differences. It has a built - in reflector that allows you to direct the light to a specific spot in the cage, creating a warm basking area. It's also a great help for sick or weaker birds. When a bird is ill, its body temperature drops, and it may puff up its feathers due to the cold. If you notice your bird is sick and cold, you can use this light for heat therapy. Remember, if you think your bird is sick, always check with your avian vet. With the full range of Vision bulbs and a timer, you can mimic the natural day - and - night light cycles. To avoid health and behavior problems caused by lack of sleep, your bird needs at least 10 - 12 hours of undisturbed darkness. This light is an excellent daytime heat source, boosts the overall air temperature in the cage, can be used after bathing or misting to encourage feather preening, and provides extra warmth for sick or weak birds.


Using the Vision Daytime Basking Light is easy. First, install it in your bird's cage according to the instructions. You can adjust the built - in reflector to focus the light on a specific area of the cage where you want to create a basking site. This will help your bird enjoy a warm and comfortable spot. When your bird is bathing or getting misted, turn on the light to help it preen its feathers. If you notice your bird is sick and feeling cold, use the light to provide heat therapy, but always consult your avian vet. To simulate natural day - and - night cycles, use a timer with the Vision bulbs and set it so that your bird gets at least 10 - 12 hours of complete darkness for a good sleep. For maintenance, regularly check the light for any signs of damage. If the bulb burns out, replace it with a compatible Vision bulb. Keep the light clean to ensure it functions well and provides the best heat and light for your feathered friend.
