Does your full-spectrum fluorescent fixtures 5000K can be used for avian applications?
I've been using full spectrum fluorescent fixtures with 5000K and 90+ CRI, and am considering ordering from your 98 CRI products for my parrots. Do you know if your LEDs can be used for this purpose? There doesn't seem to be much literature out there on replacing full-spectrum fluorescents in aviaries with comparably rated LEDs.
Our high CRI LED products sound like a great way to enhance your existing fluorescent lighting products for avian applications.
Our 95+ CRI rating indicates that our lamps do an excellent job of recreating natural daylight, which is something that fluorescent lamps struggle to do (the highest CRI values are generally 90 for fluorescent lamps).
The one difference, however, is that LED lamps generally do not include UV radiation. Some research indicates that birds can benefit from UV radiation, so if that is a concern, you may want to be aware of that when considering LED lamps.
