Proven Benefits
Numerous studies have shown that well designed LED lighting installations, with optimised lux levels, can have beneficial effects on livestock yields and animal wellbeing. In this regard, upper market suppliers tend to be better value for money in the long run. Optional Intelligent controls can be worthwhile in the largest facilities, where the increased cost justifies itself many times over through increased energy savings.
