LIGHT FITTINGS FOR AGRICULTURE AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY There are many different work areas in agricultural facilities with different lighting requirements. Indoor areas Stables for dairy cows, cattle, pigs, horses etc., equipment halls, hay, straw and grain stores, barns, cooling and storage rooms, common rooms, washing, showering and changing rooms etc. Outdoor areas Traffic zones, parking spaces, entrances and exits, loading and unloading points, vehicle washing areas, silos, etc. In our LED luminaire program for dust-/waterproof, hall, outdoor, emergency and ex-protected luminaires you will find high-quality and efficient lighting solutions for all these areas. Everything from a single source, "Made in Germany", unique and unmistakable. We will be pleased to advise you! Please contact us > Ammonia - the special challenge The reliable, efficient and species-appropriate illumination of stables is a particular challenge. LED luminaires for this application not only have to withstand mechanical loads and intensive cleaning processes with high-pressure cleaners, but also chemical loads, especially ammonia. Depending on the concentration, ambient temperature and exposure time, significant decreases in luminous flux, significantly shortened lifetimes and damage up to total failure are possible. LED and ECG must therefore be reliably protected. Our special LED light fittings for areas contaminated with ammonia take this fully into account. Of course, tested and confirmed by the DLG (German Agricultural Society) test mark. A special feature: at the express request of SCHUCH, in addition to the standard DLG test scope, the luminous flux was measured for the first time with the LUXANO 2 LW before and after the ammonia gas treatment. With a simulated service life of around 10 years, the luminaire achieved an excellent value with a luminous flux retention of almost 90%! In addition, SCHUCH supports the InnoLED_4_Livestock research project as an exclusive industrial partner with its innovative LED lights for agriculture and livestock farming and is thus committed to increasing animal welfare. RESEARCH PROJECT INNOLED_4_LIVESTOCK Good stable lighting - more yield Light not only controls the biorhythm of humans but also of animals. Good, species-appropriate barn lighting promotes the well-being and health of the animals and has a positive effect on their performance. Dairy farming For dairy farming, this means higher milk yields. Because good, uniform lighting without light/dark zones, for example between the barn, paths and milking parlour, increases the daily milk yield, especially in the dark season. Pig farming In pig farming, optimal lighting leads to better visual perception of the animals and thus ensures a significantly lower level of stress and aggression. The animals are more balanced, the meat is better and the yields are higher. Poultry farming Poultry needs light that is as flicker-free as possible. Infinitely dimmable light with a low flicker index is therefore indispensable for species-appropriate poultry farming. It has a calming effect and reduces cannibalism and death rates. Good lighting promotes in addition the hens' willingness to lay eggs and the growth of fattening poultry and thus increases the yield. Better working conditions in the barn Good light also creates better working conditions in the barn. The eyes do not have to strain so much, animal controls are easier and the risk of occupational accidents is reduced. In addition, the use of modern, efficient LED light fittings with a long service life saves a considerable amount of energy and maintenance costs - a relief for the environment and the wallet. Ammonia-resistant light fittings of our LW-series: PRIMO XR LW Extremely tight against harmful gases. The perfect solution for heavy ammonia pollution, high humidity and intensive cleaning with a high-pressure cleaner or steam jet LUXANO 2 LW The price-optimised solution for agriculture and animal husbandry - excellent quality, highly ammonia-resistant and suitable for high pressure cleaning DUEVO ER / LW Thanks to increased resistance to ammonia vapors, ideally suited for lighting stables with larger mounting heights (> 6m) Which light fitting is the right one? Selection table for the lighting of stables in livestock farming In addition to basic requirements such as adequate impact resistance and resistance to harmful gases, lighting in livestock farming must also meet the special housing conditions and requirements for animal welfare. So which light fitting is the right one for which application? light fitting series pigs cattle / cows & horses poultry 1) 2) LUXANO 2 LW ✔ ✔ - LUXANO 2 ER DIMD - ✔ ✔ PRIMO XR LW ✔ (✔) - PRIMO XR LW DIMD ✔ (✔) ✔ DUEVO ER - ✔ - DUEVO ER DIMD - ✔ - DUEVO LW ✔ (✔) - DUEVO LW DIMD ✔ (✔) - 1) According to the animal welfare and livestock keeping regulation, dimmable versions are required. 2) Since light fittings in poultry houses often have to withstand increased cleaning and disinfection requirements, the PRIMO XR LW DIMD is the best choice. pigs Extreme conditions often prevail such as very high ammonia load, high humidity, higher temperatures (piglet rearing). The additional intensive cleaning processes with high pressure / steam jet cleaners require extremely robust luminaires. If you want to be on the safe side, opt for the absolutely gas-tight, IPX9K-tested PRIMO XR LW or, for mounting heights over 6m, for the DUEVO LW. cattle / cows Their eyes adapt the light much more slowly than the human eye. Large differences in brightness and abrupt changes in light level frighten and unsettle the animals. Therefore, dimmable versions and a high level of uniformity of lighting are advantageous. The ammonia load is rather low and intensive cleaning processes are rare. Our LUXANO LW and DUEVO ER are the right choice. horses Horses also react unsettled and startled to abrupt changes in light level. Therefore, the use of dimmable lights is recommended. poultry According to the Animal Welfare and Farm Animal Husbandry Ordinance, artificial light in poultry must be "flicker-free", as the animals are very sensitive to flickering light. Many LED light fittings are unsuitable for such areas because of their high residual ripple or pulse width modulation (PWM) used for dimming. Quite in contrast, our dimmable LW luminaires have very low residual ripple and are flicker-free! Dimmable lights also allow the use of different lighting programmes to control the dark and twilight phase in the day / night rhythm.
