Full-spectrum light is light that includes all wavelengths that are useful to plant and animal life. It is beneficial to birds in that it mimicks their natural lighting in the wild. The link below leads to a short article about the benefits of full spectrum lighting. You can purchase full spectrum bulbs online or in most hardware or home improvement stores. http://www.featherbrite.com/beoffuspli.html
