Cheap lighting?

[Meagan83]

I have stackables and it seems to me that the cages are dim. I have 4 breeder cages. Is there a web site where I can find some inexpensive light fixtures to set on the top of the cages?

How about these?

Is there room to set lights on top of the cages that have cages above them?

I use clamp on lamps from Home Depot clamped to the side of the cages on my stacks. Only the top cage can get top lighting.
I use 2 different size reflectors. Large w no nest and small for putting next to a nest. Unfortunately, when you light each individual cage, the cost of lighting goes up fast. If you can rig a SECURE setup where a single 4 ft flourescent fixture can illuminate 3 or 4 stacked cages at once, you will save on cost.

Franny, those look PERFECT! Yes, there is space between each cage. I think that would fit! Thanks!

Those are the exact same ones that I use in my aviary.

I use something similar you can buy at wal-mart for about $6.99 a light.
They are called "under-cabinet" lights and they fit perfectly in the space between the cages if you are using the stand for the breeders.

You can see some of them here

I transitioned over to the cabinet lights on all the breeders and eliminated the clamp lights because they are less pleasing to the eye

I replaced the stock bulb that comes with it with 18" "GE Sunshine" bulbs sold at Lowes.

Tiffany, that's a great deal. Those look great.

I got mine at Walmart here in Canada, but couldn't seem to link to the American site (.com), and I had wanted to find an American site for you so linked to the ones at Home Depot, which appear to be very similar.

But of course Walmart is almost always a better price!
