Bulb Types
www.poultryhouse.com
Incandescent (Edison Tungsten Filament) High Pressure Sodium Vapor (HPS) Cold Cathode (CC Or CCFL) Dim Compact Fluorescent (Dim-CFL) Non-Dim Compact Fluorescent (CFL) Dim/Non-Dim Light Emitting Diode (LED)
Energy Hogs More Energy Efficient, ButMost Energy Efficient
Different Lighting Needs For Different Birds & Houses Concerns: Initial, Replacement, & Operating Costs + Warranty Growers Changing Out Lights Give Themselves A Raise!

Intensity Lumen: Standard Unit Of Light Emission (Output) 1 Footcandle (fc) Is Lumens/Ft2; 1 Lux Is Lumens/M2 1 fc = 10.76 Lux (Ex: 32.2 Lux = 3.00 fc). 1 fc ~ 10 Lux

General Light Intensity Targets: Broilers: 3-5 fc Brood; Dim To .03-.25 fc Rest Of Flock Hens: 4-8 fc Avg. Entire Flock , Non-Dim, On Clock Pullets: 2-4 fc Brood, 0.50-0.80 fc Rest Of Flock, On Clock
Broilers = 2700-50000K Hens & Pullets – 2700-30000K 0K
On LEDs Tricks Eyes Light Meter Is A Must
Lumen Depreciation All Lights Depreciate, But At Very Different Rates! Two Sources Of Lumen Depreciation: 1) Physical Deterioration Over Time – Can’t Control 2) Accumulation Of Dust, Dirt & Debris – Can Control Observed Physical Depreciation In Poultry Houses/Year: CC ~ 25-30% CFL ~ 15-18% LED ~ 4-10% Even After Blowing Off, Depreciation From 1-2 Flocks Of Debris Can Reduce Intensity 10-20%
Uniformity Goal: Uniform Intensity. Minimize Saw Blade Light Patterns • Eliminate Shadows & Shaded Areas • Vary Bulb Sizes & Layouts By House Type & Dimensions
Cleaning Lights – Not Hard Or High Tech!

Disposal CCs & CFLs Contain 2-5 mg Mercury Clean Up Around Broken Bulbs, Including Litter Disposal: Bag & Take To Lowe’s Or Home Depot LEDs – No Mercury – No Disposal Regs
Sockets, Jelly Jars & Reflectors • Nickel (Ni) Does Not Corrode • Nickel Plated Screw Shells ~ $1.20 • • • •
Holds Most Heat In; More Early Failures Bulb Life May Be Reduced 50-75+% Some Areas Required For Electric Inspection Not Needed With LEDs, But May Be Req’d.
Reflectors For High Ceilings ~ Double fcs • Frisbee, 9” Diameter, 1½” Deep For Up To 26W CFL, Cost ~ $1.00 • “PoultryflectorTM”, 20” Diameter, 7” Deep For Up To 55W CFL, Cost ~ $7.00 • Pail Lids & Painted Pie Pans Also Work

After +16%
Use Pump Sprayer. 1 Part NH3 Or Glass Cleaner & 8-10 Parts Water On Jet Stream. Just A Few Secs & All Debris Boils Off
LED Sales Pressure Claims – Snake Oil? • Better “Bird Lumens” Or “Bird Footcandles” • Power Factor Saves Big On Power Bill & Amps Claim: • Better Bird Performance (Lbs, FC, Etc.) “My LED” • Required By Your Integrator • Only LED Qualified For Rebates/Incentives
The Truth • Salesman With Inventory That Need To Be Moved! • A Watt Is A Watt – Basis Of Power Bill, Not Amps Or P.F. • Power Factor – Small Power Bill Effect (
