Lighting advice Barns

High-quality barn lighting is required for a pleasant and safe execution of work activities in barns and for animal welfare. Within the agricultural sector, barns are usually illuminated by high-pressure sodium or metal-halide lamps. The transition to LED lighting in the agricultural sector is on the uprise. LED is slowly becoming the standard. Especially for new barns, LED is chosen more and more often and a clear shift can be noticed in renovation projects. Livestock holders understand well that LED lighting (or artificial lighting) has a large impact on animal performance. Moreover, better lighting leads to a higher fertility, animal welfare, and productivity. Another benefit of LED barn lighting is that LED does not need any warm-up time: the lights function at full power as soon as they’re switched on. It is also possible to connect only a part of the barn, through which high savings can be achieved. Furthermore, there is no high input power when switched on. Noxion luminaires are also shock, impact, and ammonia proof, which is an absolute requirement for barns. Thanks to the powerful characteristics, Noxion barn lighting requires minimal to no maintenance. The use of high-pressure sodium and metal-halide lamps is also highly energy inefficient, which means switching to LED can lead to huge savings. Smart dimming techniques can control the luminous intensity and extend the day rhythm, which causes animals to become more vital. Altogether, a switch to LED lighting in the agricultural sector can realize energy savings of 50% up to 90% and a better working and living environment.
