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 bought this for my sun conure cage. Be aware there are two types available; one that has a a cage over the light to protect from birds chewing and one that doesn’t for birds like finches. I thought the quality was really good, the cord is protected while it runs outside the cage. I plugged mine into a timer so I don’t have to worry about plugging it in and unplugging it. I installed the light inside of my cage. I have the cageless version too and that one I was able to install on the outside of the cage, but underneath the pull out tray for my play top cage. It’s slim enough that it doesn’t bother the functionality of the drawer. The light makes a huge difference in my cage!

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.

Came with the chew guard all bent, quality control? None.

Took me a while to justify the expense of this light The birds were shy at first now they sing and play and their feathers are brighter

As much as I love this light it has only lasted 4 months before being nearly destroyed. I have a almost 2 year old blue and gold macaw who gets very creative in destroying new things. I set it up as instructed but she has still managed to peel the cage/protector part off and unscrew the “buckles” that secure it to the cage (double parrot cage kings cages). Due to her repeated mischief there are very few led lights that are working on it and several of the metal bars are bent and broken. She is only in her cage for up to 8 hours at most in a day with her usually out for longer on a normal day. Have to say I love it but macaws exceed expectations. Update: I have had the light for almost a year now and it is completely dead. My macaw managed to peel off the metal guard to the point I cannot put it back on. I decided to leave the light on the cage to provide some brightness but she has finally made it so not a single led will light up anymore. Kind of a waste of money...

Perfect light!!!

Sturdy construction, small and unobtrusive... Price is steep for 24” fixture. Will look into led shoplights for any future purchases...

super bright, great for the bigger cage we have

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!!
