Animal housing environments have specialized lighting requirements. These Environments tend to have extremely high humidity (damp to wet), they tend to be dusty, They tend to be highly corrosive and the air contains volatile organic particles. ONCE’s products are NOT the simple repurposing of residential designs and products into an industrial setting.
ONCE’s products are designed with specific animals and specific settings in mind. They are engineered to withstand the rigorous environs of everyday barn life. They are shock, corrosion, and moisture resistant. They are made to be easy to install and replace regardless of the lighting system that is currently installed.

ONCE’s LED design allows for high power efficiency, long life in extreme environmental conditions and unsurpassed dimming capability. ONCE’s designs deliver a 50,000 hour design life compared to 1000 for Incandescent, 10,000 or less for CFLs and smooth linear dimming from 100 – 1%, with animal-specific color spectrum change.

Light is made up of wavelengths on the electromagnetic spectrum. The majority of living organisms require exposure to light for proper health. Due to their biological differences, all creatures experience, different types of light, in their own way.

There are three qualities of light that affect animal biology and behavior :
– Spectral Output (the wavelengths of the light)
– Irradiance (the amount of light being provided)
– Modulation (photoperiod / light to dark cycle and Transition / dimming)

Once Innovations has created our patent-pending SIAM Technology™ to provide the proper Spectral Output, at the optimum Irradiance levels, and the ability to Modulate it’s output based on time of day or day of the production cycle. Once AgriShift lighting was designed for animals, and built for the barn environment.

While residential lighting products may work for you in your home, they are not designed for the optimum health of most other animals.
