I'm looking for information on lighting......
I'm designing a new condo for me and the birds. Would like to
use Vita Lites, buut they seem to only come in tubes. Someone
at a bird store suggested the the spectrum of plant grow lites should
be almost the same. These come in the flood type bulbs that would
fit in a recessed aimable fixture.
Anyone know anything about this? Would be a great solution if it makes
sense......

Incandesent plant lights are *not* similiar in spectrum to wide
spectrum Vitalights. Plant lights are high in certain frequencies
that encourage plant growth. On the other hand, wide-spectum lights
imitate the full spectrum of daylight.
I believe that the new incandesent ?halide? spotlights you can
now buy at home centers are close to full spectrum. I forget the
correct deignation of these bulbs ....... they do, however, generate
a great deal of heat.
