What kind of set up do you have? Is it inside an open building? Is it outside in cages?

Flourescent lighting is the cheapest and the best that I have found for my pheasant operation. I run 4foot tubes and bright white bulbs in a open inside building. I start to extend the daylight hours in the spring.

Big Christmas bulbs on a 50 foot strand, they are outside, lights are on timmers and come on at 5:00 pm, and go off at 9:00 pm. Have 2 strands on the pen..

The lighting is suppose to imitate natural daylight. I don't think that big Christmas bulbs are going to work.

Will start with 4 foot flo, do you use a timer and when should it come on.
Gets dark or dusky at 6:30 pm, daylight breaks at 6:30 am.
Thanks for any tips

I use a string of Christmas lights on a timer for my breeder cages with brown coturnix quail.  It is set to come on at 6am, off at 9am, on at 6pm, off at 9pm.  Basically stretching the day from 6am-9pm.  Not perfect since on overcast days like today it is a little dark in the cages after 9am, but so far it has worked to keep the birds laying.

Great egg laying with the large Christmas lights, the lights were really nice from the house, looked like a winter wonder land....
