Whats the difference between full spectrum and standard fluorescent lamps?
Our full spectrum fluorescent light emits light in all parts of the visual spectrum and some in the ultraviolet range (short-wavelength, high-energy light). To be a full spectrum bulb, the color temperature must be 5000K or greater, and the CRI must be at least 88. A standard fluorescent bulb generally only has a CRI of between 60 and 75, which means the intensity of the source of light is much lower, the temperature is cooler, and there is a noticeable difference or dulling of colors when objects are placed under a standard bulb. What are the benefits of our Full Spectrum Light for Birds? FULL SPECTRUM LIGHTING has been shown to be beneficial to birds by mimicking a bird’s natural environment. Breeder aviaries, exotic bird collections and poultry production farms were some of the original places that full spectrum lighting was used and observed to demonstrate a definite positive effect. One of the greatest benefits of our full spectrum light for birds is the natural synthesis of Vitam
