INSTRUCTIONS
Congratulations on your purchase of Zoo Med’s AvianSun 5.0
UVB Compact Fluorescent Lamp; your birds will thank you!
The following instructions will assist you in setting up your new
lamp.
Lamp Fixture:
This bulb is designed for use with Zoo Med’s AvianSun Deluxe
Floor Lamp fixture (Item AFL-10). See the following photo for an
example of the correct setup.
Note oN Lamp burN iN:
Compact fluorescent lamps have a “burn in” period when the
light and UVB output is at its greatest. For your new AvianSun
5.0 Compact Fluorescent Lamp, this period lasts about two
weeks when the lamp is used to provide a normal photoperiod
or day/night cycle at 10 to 12 hours per day (150 hours of use).
Refer to the following chart for recommended distances during
and after the burn in period. Zoo Med’s AvianSun Deluxe
Floor Lamp is fully adjustable enabling you to easily adjust the
distance of the lamp to your bird’s cage or perch.

*Notes oN operatiNg raNge:
*The Recommended Distance refers to the distance from the
lamp to your bird’s perch. The lamp should be placed directly
overhead of your bird. DO NOT place the lamp on the side of the
cage causing your bird to stare into the lamp. WARNING: DO
NOT place the lamp closer to your bird than the recommended
distances listed above as eye damage may occur.
WheN to repLace your Lamp:
Your lamp will provide beneficial UVA and UVB for a period of
12 months. After 12 months, the lamp should be replaced with
a new AvianSun 5.0 UVB Compact Fluorescent Lamp. Before
you turn your lamp on for the first time, date the base of the lamp
to remind yourself when to replace it.
