The top of my bird cage is 57 inches from the floor, is the lamp tall enough to bend over the top of the cage and be 12" from the cage, as suggested?

I provide info here based on Zoo Med’s instructions for the 26 watt Zoo Med Avian Sun 5.0 UVB compact fluorescent bulb, sold separately by Zoo Med on Amazon to go with this 72-inch Zoo Med lamp. (The bulb emits UVA, UVB, and visible light.) Zoo Med’s “Application Chart” (distance guide) for their 26 watt UV bulb: During Burn-In: Leave 14” to 22” from bulb to cage top (35 to 55 cm). After Burn-In (after about 100 hours of bulb use): Leave 12” to 18” from bulb to cage top (30 to 45 cm). Calculated from this guide: During UV bulb “burn-in” (the first 100 hours of bulb use, when the bulb is super-strong), the tallest cage to safely use with this 72” lamp is 58 INCHES (147 cm) from the same floor the lamp is on. After the burn-in period, the tallest cage for safe use is 60 INCHES (152 cm) from the floor. These values are for the *maximum* safe cage height. [Based on Zoo Med’s guide, slightly shorter cages might be preferable.]

will it keep my birds warm?

No, this light is a full spectrum light designed to simulate sunlight. It isn't for keeping the birds warm. The light in this fixture is good. It is the design of the lamp that I have a problem with.

i put mine into the ceiling fan light is that ok to put it ijn a house fixture

No Read the instructions after burn in time the light should be 18 inches from the birds perch The 2 week burn in time the light should be 20 inches from perch Please read the instructions that come with it for your birds safety

Does anyone know if you can put a heat bulb in this lamp?

NO NO NO you can not. I would never even attempt to do something like that !
