    Been a while since I updated this thread. Here are some good examples of full spectrum bulbs. http://www.amazon.com/Spectrum-Light-ALZO-Compact-Fluorescent/dp/B0018OS06S/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1432301045&sr=8-2&keywords=ge+full+spectrum+light+bulbs...

And again as I've said before about a zillion times on BYC unless it's 0 degrees F or less your quail don't need heat. In the wild...

    I've read somewhere but can't find any science to back, the fact that many cool lights actually contain all of the proper wavelengths of light just tend to have sharper peaks of those wavelengths. I'm not sure if there are even any negative effects to running a cool light that does contain the...

    For years I used standard halogen "flood lamps" to light chicks and on those occasions that I light layers. Recently after discussing lighting on another I started doing some more research on proper artificial lighting and wanted to share some of the links I've found along the way. I've not...
