How to use
For best results, install this bulb in a reliable lamp holder and avoid dimmers, thermostats, or rheostats that could alter output. Maintain proper distance from birds and avoid splashing water on the bulb. If there are other animals nearby, consider placement that keeps the light within a comfortable zone for the birds’ viewing area. Do not turn the bulb on and off rapidly, and allow a gradual warm-up period when first powering it on.
- Use a good quality lamp holder and ensure the fixture is dry and stable.
- Keep a safe distance (generally more than 30 cm from non-bird animals if nearby) and avoid direct contact.
