I have read: PROPER LIGHTING TO SUPPORT AVIAN VISION
and understand that birds need uva and uvb..... But trying to find "reasonable" priced bulbs is most challenging. I purchased a clamp on cage that uses the standard screw in base (will accept a compact florescent light "cfl").
Clamp Lamp and Incandescent Spot Lights at Drs. Foster and Smith: Portable lighting for pet birds
I have found the following "FeatherBright" CFL.... that I am sure is what I want.... But at $20 + $6 to ship..... It is really way more than I want to spend.

This Bulb "Bird Cage Full Spectrum Light Bulb 25 W" also says it is for birds.... But it really does not give specifications. Someone asked a question, and the seller answered.... But again no specifics. This bulb is more powerful than the FeatherBright.... and cheaper.... $13 + $6 ship
Do you folks think it will be good????

I ruled out the Zoo Med.... because of the odd shape (long) and I didn't want their floor lamp that is used with the bulb.... also, I don't know what base is on it (screw in... Like a cfl ?)
Any responses will be much appreciated
