Biologically optimized lighting solutions for poultry, cattle, and pig farming. We have developed specialized lighting systems for more than 30 animal species globally.
Light is essential for life, enabling visual perception and regulating the biorhythms of humans, animals, and plants. Traditional artificial lighting has primarily been designed to suit human visual sensitivity. However, each animal species possesses unique spectral sensitivity, necessitating customized lighting solutions.
We develop spectral compositions and innovative lighting solutions that cater to the animal’s needs. By integrating the biological characteristics of animals with the attributes of artificial lighting, we significantly enhance animal welfare, optimize operational processes, and increase farm productivity.
When coupled with an advanced light management system, tailored lighting solutions can effectively support the natural day-night cycle, mitigate stress levels, and optimize energy consumption.
Poultry have a broader visual spectrum than humans, including ultraviolet light, which allows them to perceive colours and wavelengths that are imperceptible to us. In addition, poultry can perceive much higher visual frequencies. These major biological differences must be considered in animal-specific lighting solutions.
Our flicker-free dimming technology creates a calm environment in the poultry house and significantly reduces animal stress, especially during handling. An independent research has confirmed that this reduced stress level has a positive effect on mortality rates and cannibalism.
Our lighting solutions are specifically designed to provide poultry with the optimum light spectrum for their visual and biological needs.

Natural light forms the basis for an appropriate animal breeding, as it is adapted to the lighting needs throughout the life cycle of the animals.
Animal welfare plays an important role in broiler chicken breeding. Lighting with optimised spectrum provides perfect visual acuity for the eyes of the poultry.
Minimized stress and less mortality (up to 4%).
Stimulates Feed Intake, benefits a homogeneous growth and improves Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR).
UV light components lead to a better differentiation of conspecifics, while catchlight function (blue) support your catching process.
Animal-specific lighting, particularly in laying hen houses, can significantly improve the health, welfare, and productivity of the birds.
Stimulates Sexual Maturity, reduces stress and enhances Egg Quality (shell and yolk).
Improves Feed Conversion Rate (FCR) and increases Egg Laying Rate.
Adequate lighting can encourage natural social interactions among the birds and prevents cannibalism.
By carefully considering their specific needs and their reproductive cycle, breeders can implement effective lighting strategies to optimize their operations and improve the well-being of their flocks.
Animal-specific lighting in breeder houses significantly impact the health, productivity, and well-being of the animals.
Reduces stress and enhances egg production.
Leads to a better feed intake and improves Feed Conversion Rate (FCR).
Decreases picking and mortality.
By investing in specific lighting solutions, turkey farms can improve the overall health, welfare, and productivity of their flocks, ultimately leading to increased profitability.
Minimizes stress and mortality in animals.
Stimulates feed intake and facilitates homogeneous growth.
Prevents picking.
Animal specific lighting creates a more natural and calming environment for cows, reducing stress relating behaviour. It improves the animal's perception of their surroundings, making them feel more comfortable and secure.
Lighting can positively impact the reproductive cycle and weight gain as well as leading to increase milk production and milk quality.

Benefits for cattle
LactoLux® spectrum acts as milk production booster.
A natural lighting environment increases animal welfare, improves feed intake and labour efficacy.
Advanced lighting solutions provides automatization and daylight control at the farms.
An animal related lighting concept leads to natural behaviour and activities. Differentiated lighting levels play a vital role in supporting animal welfare.
Light affects its internal clock, metabolism, fertility, growth and stress level. Animal-friendly lighting has a positive impact: it promotes their welfare and growth.
