Lighting Dimmers
All prices shown include delivery to UK destinations
Birdroom Lighting Dimmers simulate sunrise and sunset mimicking natural conditions by brightening up over 30 seconds(30 mins also availiable). This avoids startling the birds when they may panic and fly into the side of their cage.
On turning off, the lamps will dim over 30 minutes to allow your birds a last feed and time to reach their roosting positions.
The time clock models also allow you to extend the light period to induce breeding and early moulting.
They are easy to install and are all fitted with a 2 metre input cable and plug and a simple termial block for your to connect your lighting circuits.
Birdroom dimmers are manufactured in our own workshops so we can offer full-after sales service backed by a one-year guarantee.
In the fight to combat Global Warming eventually the ordinary tungsten filament lamp will be phased out, in its place we have the halogen equivalent which give a longer life, a crisper more efficient light, is fully interchangeable and of course you can dim it, unlike the energy saving compact fluorescent (CFL).

Some breeders think it is beneficial to have a low light on in the birdroom all night. This can prevent night fright in flocks of birds or allow breeding birds to feed through the dark hours.
On the lights out sequence the bulbs will not dim out completely but fade to a light level that you can program to adjust to a level that suits your purposes.
The Night Light option can be switched off if not required.
Increase the brightenning time to 30 mins ( please note that brightenning will always take 30 mins even on override and this option cannot be switched off.
