LED lighting for stables and farmyards

• Individual lighting design:
  Our experienced team of consultants will create a professional lighting design on request, precisely tailored to your needs, whether for stables, riding arenas or barns.
• LED technology in the barn pays off
  LEDs work with a high degree of efficiency and thus very efficiently, their luminous efficacy is therefore particularly high. The investment costs for new equipment or retrofitting are amortised after a short time through considerable savings in operation. A good 50-watt LED spotlight shines just as brightly as a 500-watt halogen spotlight, but consumes around 90% less electricity.
• High durability
  LED chips have a very long service life of up to 100,000 hours. In continuous operation, this is approx. 6 years, with daily operation of 8 hours even more than 17 years. Costs for maintenance and lamp replacement are thus reduced to a minimum. LED chips also do not simply fail but lose brightness over time (degradation).
• Luminous efficacy
  LED luminaires with industrially manufactured high-performance LED chips, for example, have a luminous efficacy approximately 5 times higher than conventional halogen luminaires.
• High switching resistance
  Unlike energy-saving or fluorescent lamps, the robust light-emitting diodes are practically insensitive to frequent switching on and off. They are therefore also ideally suited for switching-intensive operation on motion detectors.
• Full light output immediately
  Minute-long "warm-up phases" are a thing of the past with LEDs because they provide 100 % light output immediately after being switched on.
• Full light output even at low temperatures
  LEDs work very efficiently even at low temperatures and are therefore ideal for use outdoors or in unheated buildings.
• No attraction effect on insects
  Unlike the human eye, insect eyes are particularly sensitive to ultraviolet radiation (UV). While the mercury vapour high-pressure lamps frequently used in the past still acted like a hoover for millions of insects due to their high UV content, the light emitted by LEDs is considered very insect-friendly - it contains practically no UV radiation.
• No additional heat input
  The light emitted by an LED remains cool - in contrast to temperature radiators such as halogen or incandescent lamps, where a large part of the energy is converted into infrared radiation and thus into heat. In LEDs, heat is generated in the electronics but is not radiated in the direction of the object to be illuminated.
• Natural colour perception
  In dairy cattle husbandry, a high and thus natural colour rendition is required for colour differentiation of blood, urine and milk, especially in treatment stalls, sick stalls and calving pens. The quality of colour rendering is indicated by the Ra value. The maximum possible value is 100, an Ra value of > 75 is recommended. In contrast to LEDs, sodium vapour lamps (Ra 20-50), for example, have very poor colour rendering properties.
• Environmentally friendly and safe operation
  Due to their high energy efficiency, CO2 emissions remain correspondingly low. As LED luminaires do not contain mercury, they are completely safe to operate and can be disposed of at municipal collection points.

Young cattle
Increasing the light intensity with 16 hours of brightness and 8 hours of darkness also has a positive effect on the development of young cattle. An increased amount of light stimulates activity and appetite and accelerates the growth of the animals.

Dry standing cows
Daylight phases with 8 hours of light and 16 hours of darkness make sense for dry cows. This leads to higher milk yields in the following lactation. In addition, feed intake and the immune system are positively influenced. It is therefore advisable to house dry cows in a separate barn.

LED luminaires have all the prerequisites
In order to achieve optimal milk and growth performance, LED luminaires are particularly suitable for new barns and for the conversion of old barns. In terms of service life and efficiency, LED lighting is superior to all other variants. The higher the annual number of operating hours, the more this advantage comes to the fore.

Influence of colour temperature
The colour temperature of a light source also has a decisive influence on biorhythms. Here, a basic distinction is made between warm white. (< 3300 K), neutral white. and daylight white. (> 5300 K). The higher the colour temperature, the higher the blue-green component in the spectral composition of the light. Since the brightness perceived by the bovine eye is highest in the blue-green range, the use of luminaires with a high colour temperature is recommended to achieve an increase in productivity. LEDs with a colour temperature of at least 5,300 K are therefore particularly suitable.

This lighting control allows you to switch the artificial lighting on or off, on a timer and regardless of existing daylight, or even achieve a constant light level (e.g. min. 200 lux) through automatic dimming. This means it ensures ideal lighting conditions throughout the day and year while minimising electricity consumption. Comfort for animals and humans!
