LED,.....lighting ?

Post by PattyG » Sat Apr 01, 2017 10:32 pm

Hello, I have T-5 lighting and they need replacing, but I'd rather trade up to LED lighting.
Our cage is 30" x 18".

What's your thoughts on fixtures and specific lighting. I assume full spectrum fresh water aquarium lighting or is there lighting just for birds ?

Thanks !
Patty

That's a lot of research.
Would you advise which paticular bulbs, just so
I can order ?

Our hood has 4 bulbs. Should we have 2 or 4 of them ?

Are there any LED fixtures suited for bird lighting ?

I would appreiate your advise !
Patty
