M&M Cage Company - Bird Cage Light with Chew Guard - Full Spectrum LED Pet Light - Simulates Natural Environment - Safe for Destructive Chewers, Parrots etc. - No Bulbs to Change (24 Long)

I have an African Grey, Wrigley, and I bought the 24 inch light that runs the length of his cage. While I’m not going to spend much time comparing this light to my former light with a rickety stand, and an expensive bulb that lasted for approximately one year, I will say I wish I’d had more information before I bought it. I’ve critiqued this M&M light in enough detail that I hope it’s helpful for anyone considering buying it. This light is one very well thought-out bird light! The light fixture itself is slim and streamlined right out of the box. A sturdy metal grid enclosure protects the LED, and is designed in such a manner that when mounted on top of his cage as directed, Wrigley can’t get at it. That’s saying something because he’s clever, and not easily confounded. The light is an LED - it’s very energy efficient, there’s no heat to worry about, it will last just short of forever, and LED lights are eco-friendly (bonus!). I didn’t realize how dim my former light was until I lit up this light - it floods the full length of his cage with beautiful bright light! No dim areas! The metal covering on the electrical cord running out of the fixture itself is substantial. It’s also super flexible, and surprisingly long. Flexible enough to be trussed to the bars/frame of the cage and keep it away from my bird; and long enough to be routed around the frame of a very large cage, and keep it out of sight. Flat metal zip ties pull super tight to hold the the cord where I place it. Wrigley is not going to get into trouble with that cord! (Caveat: as sturdy as the metal covering is, I’m maniacally careful with any cord cover with my bird. He could bite the bumper off of a truck.) M&M suggests attaching a timer (sold separately) for “consistent lighting intervals,” and I’m glad I took this suggestion. The timer makes turning the light off and on literally hands off. Installation was dummy-proof, and I ought to know because I’m a dummy when it comes to things like this. I had a question or two, and Mark in Customer Service at M&M could not have been more helpful. He told me the company now provides larger, better fitting brackets with the light. He sent me two of them, and they fit perfectly! With the new brackets, it took me approximately 20 minutes to install the light, and route the cord. If Wrigley hadn’t helped me so much, it would’ve taken 15 minutes tops!

Lights up the Whole cage. Cage is 65 inches wide or long. It seems to me my green cheek feathers look a lot better since I got the light.

Finde die Lampe vom Aussehen und der Helligkeit perfekt, habe die Zeitschaltuhr dazwischen und beides funktioniert super. Diese Lampe ist im Gesgensatz zu der Bird Lamp viel praktischer da diese nicht so klobig ist und kaum auffällt. Die Helligkeit ist super und dank Zeitschaltuhr auch dimmbar. Klare Kaufempfehlung

I have had this for a month & very pleased. My parakeets are in a huge cage & seem to enjoy this light. It also shows them off nicely. Highly recommend!!

I love this light! Hooked it up to a timer, does what its supposed to. My African Greylikes it!

We currently have 4 of these and use them for our Richardsons Ground Squirrels and our Prairie Dogs (prolifically adept chewers... demolition experts). The lights really do seem to help with mood regulation and behavior. The lights are bright, sturdy, and well constructed. The price is a little intimidating, when looking to eventually buy lots of units, but if they have the staying power they claim (and I suspect time will prove they do), they will prove a great investment.

We enjoy looking at are birds inside the house When there not outside so they get plenty of good lighting

So far my Alexandrine parrot likes the light, Hopefully it prevents him from plucking his feathers.

I used this on my Vision/Lilliphut L01 cage for a single green cheek conure. It is relatively easy to install (I took off the top of the cage and installed the lamp with the metal clamps before putting the top back) and lights up the interior of the cage beautifully, even though the lamp is placed outside the cage itself. I used this with a timer plug so the bird can have 12 hrs of bright light a day. The plug accepts all kinds of plugs so the US style two prong plug was able to fit. The bird seems to like it.

4 Patriots in my home and I have 4 of these now. Awesome healthy lighting! Easy instal! SAFE!
