Lower lighting costs
LED lights are more energy-efficient and have a longer lifespan than current CFL or cold cathode lighting systems. LED lighting can save about 80-85% of electricity bills compared to incandescent bulbs. Consumer Reports demonstrate that LED bulbs usually can last between 20,000 and 50,000 hours, about five times longer than any other bulb on the market. Therefore, they cost less in the long run.
Increase poultry’s weight
Lighting has proven to be a key factor in poultry health. LED lights produce white light by combining blue LEDs with red and green phosphors. Therefore, the spectrum produced by the LED lighting is continuous and is rich in blues and greens with diminished red. In addition, LED lighting enables color conversion and control. It fully meets the spectral needs of poultry, which can reasonably adjust poultry’s circadian rhythm to promote its growth and weight gain.
Improve uniformity and feed conversion
LED lights with dimmers can switch different colors of light. The blue light can calm the domestic birds and reduce conflict with each other. On the other hand, the enhanced red light activates poultry movement, which increases their food intake and regulates their rest. In addition, the LED light improved flock uniformity and fed conversion by approximately 4%.
