Agricultural shed lighting includes lighting for farms, barns, dairy sheds, cattle sheds, poultry, grain stores, etc. Good agricultural shed lighting is not only beneficial for workers but also for livestock. For workers, bright and comfortable agricultural shed lighting increases their visibility hence reducing the possibility of mistakes. It also makes them feel safe and pleasant and hence improves their productivity. For livestock, artificial lights that mimic natural light will have positive impacts on their development, health, and production.
But lighting requirements of livestock are different from humans. Chickens and turkeys are more sensitive to light. Even a small change of light can hugely alter their behaviors. Thus, poultry requires flicker-free lighting. The light temperature between 2700K and 3000K is the primary selection for poultry. Differing from poultry, cows require a Long Day Photoperiod to boost milk production. This means owners should provide 16 to 18 hours of lighting per day for their barns, dairy sheds, or cattle sheds.
Many farmers realize the importance of proper lighting for the production of livestock but find the cost of electricity unaffordable. AGC understands the need for high-quality and highly efficient lighting for agricultural sheds. We also know the challenges of environments that are humid and corrosive. We provide LED lights with high efficacy, low UGR, IP69K protection, and smart controls to optimize livestock production and workers’ productivity while achieving more cost conservation.
