Creating a natural setting for your flocks with artificial lighting

摘要

With more and more farmers turning to environmentally controlled houses, the demand for artificial lighting has become a critical component in creating a natural setting for livestock to thrive.Regularly occurring daily cycles of light (day) and darkness (night) have been known to exert a profound influence on the behaviour and metabolism of many organisms.Each daily cycle inclusive of a period of illumination followed by a period of darkness is called the photoperiod.Besides the ability to control the photoperiod, we can further enhance this environment by controlling intensity (Lux), replicating dusk anddawn, using optimised colours (Kelvin) and enhancing uniformity.
