I set up the full-spectrum light for Jewel this morning... hoping it would help her, but not expecting anything right away.

:omg: its like someone flipped a switch! Ever since we turned it on, she's been doing more vocalizing. Wolf-whistles, clicks, clucks, gurgles, the beep of a truck backing up, one sound that sounded like a car alarm...I thought I heard her imitate a dog barking, another sould I couldn't make out...

I wish I had a decent video camera.. its been so wild! (and all of it happy sounds)

and foster-fid Jewel (3yr old CAG)

That's great! I am getting a Happy Light next week. I really am hoping it will help Eddie too. (I live in a basement apartment with NO natural light...).

We can tell people that most of the lighting in our home is like having them in the shadows UNTIL they do what you did!!!!
It will be like opening up an whole new world to him!

You certainly can but "one" bulb does not nearly give enough light to get rid of the "shadowy" world as BF said.

Use the search function box and type in "Full spectrum lighting" and you will get lots of discussion. I'm too lazy to find it for you. :)

It would certainly help a lot of people if you could - I'd certainly like to know!
I would like to know too. I live in California, so we have a lot of sun. My birds in my office, and there is a good sized window. It seems like they get a lot of light, but it's filtered. I would like to know if you can get a regular lightbulb that just goes into your light.

Oh yeah! and I'm so happy she's happy.

The water dripping sounds she makes and the dog barking are my favorites.. I LOL each time she does it.
