Pet Parrots

We recommend using this light daily, but not longer than 1.5 to 2 hours per day. It has proven to improve feather condition and simulates a notable portion of natural sunlight. These lights are fairly intense, hence why we recommend a fairly short portion of the day be the exposure period. Generally a CFL or smaller T5 (<2 ft) will suffice for pet parrots. The time recommendation is based on the bulb being no more than 24” above the cage.Maximize your light by using a reflector kit!

Breeding Parrots, Finches, Canaries

Many breeders and keepers of cage birds have noted success by using these lights for 4 to 8 hours per day. The intensity helps to stimulate the natural response associated with a time of year when food is plentiful and therefore offspring can be supported. For most breeding situations and larger flight cages the longer (>2 ft) T5 bulbs fit the bill best. We recommend hanging the bulbs less than 24” above the cage or flight. The performance of the bulb declines after 9-12 months of use and should be changed at least once a year. The reflector combo is quite useful, helping direct the light more to one area.
*Knowing the needs of your species and mutation is important. Birds from deep in the rainforest and birds with red eyes tend to do better with shorter exposure.

Bird of Prey

Birds of Prey have proven to moult faster and develop high quality feathers when exposed to these lights during the moulting season. This gives the bird a competitive advantage because they can begin getting in flying condition weeks ahead of other birds. For optimal results use these lights between X - X hours per day during the moulting period.The bulbs should be hung 18” to 30” from the bird's perch. The larger 3 and 4 foot T5 bulbs are usually the most sensible choice, as they provide the most square footage of light output. The NanoTech reflector, included in the combo, is recommended to help focus light toward a desired area.

Pigeon and Dove

Whether you are breeding pouters or racing pigeons, ring-necked or emerald doves, the sunblaster bulbs have proven time and again to produce high quality feathers and encourage breeding. Most pigeons and doves benefit from 5 to 7 hours of exposure per day, but this may vary by species. For optimal results, use a 3 or 4 foot T5 bulb and hang it less than 3 feet above the most used perch. A T5HO Combo helps to control the way the light spreads, and can ensure more usability.

Chicken, Pheasant, and Ornamental Birds

Sunblaster bulbs can be used year round on these birds, however, in the late fall and over winter is the best time. Usually these birds are allowed to run free, so in Summer they get adequate light from the sun. As the days grow shorter and temperatures drop, these bulbs become invaluable. For laying hens these lights promote a continuation of steady laying throughout the winter. For people working with pheasants and similar birds, these lights keep birds in good condition and more energetic than they would normally be. Come breeding season, you can see the benefits in the clutch sizes and fertility rates. 3 and 4 foot T5 bulbs produce the most light spread, and should be hung near the feed area. 4+ hours a day tends to be ideal.

The 6400K light is ideal for growing foliage plants, or sprouting and growing plants to the flowering point. 6400K is not a flower inducing light level. Sunblaster focusses wavelength outputs in the optimum range for photosynthesis. Whether plants are being started indoors and transitioned outdoors, or being grown indoors entirely, sunblaster lighting makes a notable difference. For use on all types of plants from cacti and tropicals to flytraps to basil and other consumable plants! Regular cleaning of the bulb helps to remove dust and dirt allowing for full and proper light output. There is a bulb for everyone, CFLs for small hobby growers all the way to 4ft T5 for the serious plant enthusiast or business! Light intensity varies by how close the bulb is to the plant. NanoTech reflector domes help focus light toward the plants, ensuring maximum growth!
Sunblaster bulbs are an ideal choice for planted terrariums, or providing ambient light to an enclosure. Use with any diurnal reptile including bearded dragons, uromastyx, turtles, corn snakes, etc. Sunblaster bulbs are not a replacement for UVB lighting in species that require it. Using a quality UVB bulb with a Sunblaster bulb compliment each other nicely, providing a good amount of coverage across the wavelength spectrum.
Sunblaster bulbs are suitable for use with aquariums. The light is wonderful for viewing the fish, and works for most planted aquarium applications as well. These lights can be used with salt water aquariums with coral, however, these lights are not sufficient to support coral on their own. When using these bulbs with a fish tank it is important to monitor the water temperature as the bulbs can generate quite a bit of heat. The best bulb depends on the size of the aquarium. For example, 10-20 gallons may use a 12” or 18” T5, depending on the type of fish and if there are live plants. A reflector keeps the light spread focussed to 120 degrees.
