Would these bulbs work well for bird cages to simulate sunlight?

I think so, but I'm no expert. My plants seem to be doing very well with these lights.

I wouldn't think so, but I purchased a smaller wattage than what you'd probably want--and size, to fit the lamps I have. It is possible the longer bulbs might suit but you'd better measure your placement location(s) well as mine barely fit my overheads but did well with the table lamps.

I think they will work fine if the voltage matches and your fixtures are truly weatherproof. The bulbs cannot become wet or damp. Although others seem to have had bad performance, we have had no issues with these bulbs (used indoors). The dimming is not perfected, in that one can dim these bulbs only to about 1/2 of their stated output, but that's a general problem for all but incandescent light bulbs.

The bulbs do a good job of providing artificial sun light. They do not get to warm.

Yes, I have mine on bird feeders. They give out a small glowing light which lasts all night.

I certainly think so - I'd say they are about equivalent to a 90 watt bulb in brighteness, and produce light that is closer to daylight than incandescent... 4000K and 650 lumens. I'm using 2 in an L shaped hallway with 10' ceilings, and they are actually a bit too bright for the application.

I agree with supaJStudios,it is merely the color of the light that will be change.yes they should work.

Should be OK as long as it is not exposed to rain and there is no accumulation of water in the fixture. These bulbs do not create a lot of heat but it is best for them to have decent ventilation.

I don't see why they wouldn't work. There LEDs so they run cooler than regular bulbs.

yes they would be fine for that. I am wrapping them in a sheer fabric as well and have had them on for about 30 minutes solid not blinking. The led lights do not generate much heat at all.

Sorry I have not used them yet, but I would think that it depends on the light it self.

I do believe so, but you just have to make sure you would be getting enough sun. I absolutely LOVE mine, but I did have to use some heavier duty screws because they stripped out when screwing them into my wooden barn. Other than that, it helps me light up areas that never were before.

The light output is roughly that of a 30 to 40 watt bulb so it would not be bright. That said, I bet these would work great for landscaping. I used one for the balcony light and it works wonderfully - another lights up a silk tree in the corner and the effect is very cool. Too much exposure to the weather might not be too friendly for the bulb so keep that in mind. My first bulb, btw, has lasted over a year now.

Probably not. Plants need good light and this is not the one. Don't know of any that are better, these small tanks are probably better with artificial plants.

I imagine you could do that if you attach the light with twisties to the bars on the side. But it might make it heavy on that side & cause the cage to tip unless it's a heavy duty cage. I really love this light for my birds. Their personality just blossoms when I turn it on.

We have used these bulbs (hydrofarm flc32d) as grow lights with good success and they should fit into your shades.

Yes, for very small stages. We use them in tents, over tables and such. It takes a normal base bulb like a lamp, an ebb you can go up to about 150 watts

Sure. Mine are in recessed ceiling fixtures and work fine. Keep in mind this type of light produces like one-tenth the heat of an old-fashioned incandescent bulb. That's why it is so energy-efficient- minimal energy lost as heat.
