Me tooI just learned one should plug it into a timer or some other device that has an off on switch. The light has no switch. I was plugging the light itself into the wall outlet and out every day.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I've been a FeatherBrite bulb user for years but am now wanting to switch. Only issue is Si's cage is a dome top and all the lights on his site are for flat top cages. Anyone have suggestions on how to mount?
He cracks me up - "wanted to make sure you know there is nothing "hinky" going on here" - Oh my gosh, he says this in such a matter of fact way - dry humor. Very interesting vid - thanks for sharing this @Lady Jane ! My cage is next to a window, and hopefully mine are getting some exposure to some of the UV light they need. This is the primary reason I wanted mine to go in a travel cage when offered, so we could all sit on the porch and get some sun. I detest information that is slanted toward profit for the manufacturers; (false info). I have done a lot of reading about electric light bulbs, as I have to read under a lamp that simulates natural daylight, (some call it an Ott light). So I can attest light bulbs can be vastly different, and with the advent of the CFL, or LED bulbs, we all had to relearn wattage! (Ugh!) Anyhow - my point is, I ended up with 60 watt equivalent (9 watts used) LED daylight bulbs for most of my overhead lights. But I still have to have the special lamp to read by. If you look on most light bulb packages currently, they list the lumens (amount of brightness). These I have are 800 lumens. I can also read on the porch, but if it's 98 or 40 degrees out, that leaves me high and dry there as well.
I’ve been looking for LED alternatives for ages because of flicker and was excited to see this but couldn’t find a page where you can view pricing for their bulbs! Seems like it’s mostly commercial fixtures as well..I have given up on UV bulbs for years because the evidence is against it.
CFL and Fluorescent also flicker is my understanding which is part of why they give headaches.
Apparently "flicker free" bulbs do exist. Flicker-Free LED Lighting Advanced Technology | Energy Focus
Which lighting system is that? I have an LED light that was recommended by @JLcribber, but I forgot what it's called.Your best bet here is to speak to the person in the video. I have spoken to him a few times and he is very responsive to questions or concerns. I have had this lighting system now for about 6 months and it really livens up their mood. I too would ask about a dome top cage.
That's it! That's the one I have. I haven't noticed any flickering.24” EZ PetLight with ChewGuard #LED-03-24CG-A $44.95 Each
Do you see anything when you record the light on slow motion video? I’d like to buy one of these if it doesnt, every other light I’ve tried flickers on videoThat's it! That's the one I have. I haven't noticed any flickering.
