Poultry Lighting Systems for your Poultry House 

Light serves as a fundamental element for the health and productivity of poultry, similar to the necessity of heat, food, and water. The implementation of an appropriate poultry lighting system in your poultry house is essential. It not only supports the physiological growth of the animals but also significantly boosts egg production rates and reduces the number of undesired ground eggs. Understanding the impact of light on poultry sets the foundation for exploring the dynamics of poultry behavior and the specific lighting solutions that can cater to their needs. 

The Critical Role of Poultry Lighting 

For poultry, visibility of their environment and each other is not merely a matter of convenience but a critical component of their well-being. Lighting facilitates crucial aspects of their daily life, including feeding and social interactions, making it an indispensable element of their habitat. Without proper lighting, poultry may exhibit negative behaviors, such as pecking at each other or even cannibalism, which highlights the necessity of implementing a well-considered lighting system to maintain harmony and health within the poultry house. Thus, appropriate lighting is key to avoiding these adverse behaviors. 

Selecting the Ideal Poultry Lighting System 

The process of selecting the right lighting system is nuanced, requiring a deep understanding of the specific needs of different poultry types across their growth stages. For instance, young chicks flourish under high-intensity light, which should be gradually dialed down as they mature, a task easily managed with the use of dimmers. For laying hens, manipulating light intensity and even color can significantly affect where and how often they lay eggs, with strategies such as increasing light in non-laying areas to discourage unwanted laying patterns. The optimal lighting for poultry, particularly in specialized settings like broiler houses or laying facilities, must be carefully considered to support the overall productivity and well-being of the birds. 

LED Lighting Solutions 

Gasolec B.V. is proud to offer an extensive assortment of LED lighting solutions tailored for poultry houses. Our range includes versatile options like E27 LED bulbs, LED tubes, dimmers, fixtures, and protective covers, all designed with the unique needs of poultry environments in mind. LED lights are renowned for their efficiency and longevity, boasting potential lifespans of over 30,000 hours. However, it's crucial to note that LED performance can be sensitive to the challenging conditions often found in poultry houses, such as fluctuating temperatures and high levels of humidity, dust, and ammonia. In developing our LED poultry lighting solutions, Gasolec has prioritized these considerations to ensure that our products not only meet but exceed the rigorous demands of poultry housing environments, embodying our commitment to quality and durability. 

The impact of colored Poultry Lighting 

At Gasolec, we have pioneered the use of monochromatic lighting to enrich the living conditions within poultry houses. This approach to poultry lighting has been a cornerstone of our offerings for more than twenty years, with a range of colors including green, red, and blue, alongside extra warm white. Each color can have a distinct effect on the poultry's behavior and well-being. For example, blue light is known to have a calming effect on chickens, often used to maintain peace among the flock, especially in stressful situations like relocation from the house. Such strategic use of colored lighting underscores our dedication to enhancing the poultry living environment, providing not just illumination but also contributing to the animals' overall health and stress management.
