Frequently Asked Questions
We’re here to make things clear and simple.
Whether you’re just getting started or diving deeper into our solutions, you’ll find helpful answers to common questions right here.
Why is animal lighting important in livestock farming?
Proper animal lighting improves both animal welfare and farm productivity. Tailored lighting supports natural day-night rhythms, reduces stress, and enhances growth, fertility, and milk or egg production. It also cuts energy costs and reduces the need for antibiotics, making farms more efficient and sustainable.
Do different animals need different lighting solutions?
Yes. Poultry, cattle, and pigs each see and respond to light differently. Chickens benefit from flicker-free, spectrum-specific light to reduce stress and improve laying or growth. Cows need bright, long-day lighting for higher milk yields. Pigs thrive under lighting that matches their behavioral needs. Species-specific lighting drives better results.
