A Canadian Farmer’s Guide to Selecting High-Performance LED Barn Lighting

LED Lights for Dairy Barns

Dairy cows thrive with the right light. Studies show that 16-18 hours of light at 160-200 lux can increase milk production by 8-10%, as noted in research on long-day lighting in dairy barns. At night, lower light levels around 50 lux support their natural rhythms, reducing stress and keeping them healthy. Dairy barns are often humid and dusty, so you’ll need durable, vapour-tight fixtures to handle the conditions. LED lights for dairy barns from JW LED are designed to withstand these challenges, ensuring your herd gets the light they need to perform at their best.

LED Lighting For Pig Barns

Pigs need at least 8 hours of light daily at 50 lux, with specific requirements for farrowing and nursery stages, according to guidelines from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. Adjustable lighting, like warm-white at 2700K, can promote hog health by reducing stress and supporting growth. Pig barns are tough environments with ammonia-rich air, so corrosion-resistant fixtures are essential. LED Lighting For Pig Barns from JW LED offers durable, tailored solutions that stand up to these harsh conditions while keeping your hogs thriving.

Poultry LED Lighting

Poultry, such as chickens and turkeys, are highly sensitive to light. Research highlights that flicker-free poultry led lighting at 2000-3000K supports egg production and growth by mimicking natural daylight. Dimmable lighting can mimic sunrise and sunset, reducing stress and optimizing production cycles for broilers, layers, or breeders. A regular day-night cycle is crucial for poultry health, improving immune function and mobility, as noted in the same study. JW LED’s poultry led lighting lets you program light for different flock stages, ensuring your birds reach their full potential.

Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings

Switching to agricultural led lighting can save you up to 75% on energy costs compared to traditional incandescent bulbs, a figure supported by industry benchmarks on dairy and poultry barn energy use. As a leading Lighting Manufacturer Canada, JW LED offers high-efficacy fixtures delivering up to 160 lumens per watt, helping you lower hydro bills while keeping your barn brightly lit.

Durability and Environmental Resistance

Barns face moisture, dust, and corrosive vapours, so you’ll need fixtures rated IP65 or IP67 to handle these conditions. JW LED’s in- house manufacturing process, including laser cutting and powder painting, ensures our Ontario-made products are built to last, even in the toughest barn environments, as emphasized by our commitment to quality since 2014.

Customization and Control

Every farm is unique, and your lighting should be too. JW LED allows you to customize colour temperatures, CRI values, and lumen outputs to match your livestock’s needs. Features like dimming and programmable lighting give you better control over your barn environment, making it easier to adjust light for dairy cows, pigs, or poultry.

Warranty and Support

Quality is non-negotiable, and JW LED stands behind our products with a 5-year warranty. We also offer technical support and free lighting layout services to help you plan the perfect setup for your barn, ensuring you get the best results for your farm.
