​Optimizing Poultry Production with Modern Farming Lamps

Editor:Haining Zhongrun Lighting & Electronics Co.,Ltd │ Release Time:2025-12-05 

Poultry farming lamps—also known as poultry lighting systems—are specialized lighting devices designed to optimize the growth, health, and productivity of birds such as chickens, ducks, geese, quail, and turkeys. Unlike ordinary lights, poultry lamps are engineered to support biological rhythms, enhance feed conversion rates, reduce stress, and create a safe, productive environment across all stages of poultry development.

Product Functions and Uses

Main Functions

  • Stimulating Growth and Egg Production: Proper lighting promotes regular circadian rhythms, enhances metabolism, and improves egg-laying consistency.

  • Regulating Behavior: Certain wavelengths—especially red-spectrum light—reduce pecking and aggression.

  • Improving Feed Efficiency: Optimized light cycles encourage stable feeding behavior, contributing to better feed-to-weight ratios.

  • Supporting Environmental Control Systems: Many lamps integrate with smart controllers for automated dimming, day–night cycles, and light intensity management.

  • Enhancing Animal Welfare: Stable, flicker-free lighting prevents stress and improves overall health.

Typical Uses

  • Broiler house illumination

  • Laying hen environments

  • Breeder poultry barns

  • Hatcheries

  • Cage, deep-litter, and free-range setups

  • Climate-controlled poultry sheds

Product Features

Energy Efficiency

  • Modern poultry lamps use high-efficiency LEDs that consume far less power than traditional incandescent bulbs—reducing energy costs long-term.

Specialized Light Spectrum

  • Red and warm-white light: Reduces pecking and improves egg production.

  • Blue light: Calms birds, beneficial during transport or handling.

  • Full-spectrum options: Mimic natural daylight for overall growth balance.

Adjustable Brightness

  • Smooth dimming (0–100%) supports natural sunrise/sunset simulation, crucial for reducing stress.

Waterproof, Dustproof, and Ammonia-Resistant

  • Designed for harsh farm conditions with IP65–IP67 protection levels, resisting humidity, dust, and corrosive gases.

Long Lifespan

  • LED lamps typically last 30,000–50,000 hours, reducing maintenance downtime in large-scale poultry operations.

Flicker-Free Technology

  • Essential for animal eye health and preventing stress-induced behavior.

Easy Installation

Options include:

  • Suspendable lamps

  • Screw-in (E27/E40) bulbs

  • Integrated linear fixtures

  • Plug-and-play connectors

User Manual (General Instructions)

Installation Steps

  • Plan the layout: Determine light spacing based on barn size and bird type.

  • Cut power supply: Ensure all circuits are off before installation.

Mount the lamps:

Use screws, chains, or appropriate fixtures.

  • Connect wiring: Follow wiring diagram (L/N/ground).

  • Turn on power and test: Check brightness and uniform illumination.

Operating Instructions

  • Set light cycles depending on bird type (e.g., broilers 16–23 hours light/day; layers 14–16 hours).

  • Use dimming to simulate natural sunrise/sunset.

  • Avoid sudden light changes to reduce stress.

  • Use red light during night checks to avoid startling birds.

Maintenance Tips

  • Clean lamp surfaces every 30–60 days.

  • Inspect wiring and connectors regularly.

  • Replace lamps immediately if flickering occurs.

  • Avoid spraying water directly at fixtures unless specified IP67.
