AgriShift™ Poultry Light
AgriShift PL poultry lights were created to help poultry operators significantly reduce electricity costs, decrease labor demands from frequent replacement of traditional lights, and increase flock performance.
These lights have no need for ballasts or transformers and boast a
power factor greater than 0.96, total harmonic distortion below 20%,
a reduction in power lost as heat by 30%, and the virtual elimination
of electromagnetic interference (EMI).
AgriShift poultry lights are more energy efficient than fluorescent,
incandescent, and HID counterparts – an important factor considering
electricity accounts for such a large percentage of producers’ operating
costs. The savings are significant enough to provide a return
on investment, especially when considering the availability of energy
efficiency rebates.

How lighting can enhance flock performance
This is the first line of poultry lights with proprietary ONCE™ AC LED conditioning and color temperature shift control technologies to take advantage of the photopic response of domestic fowl to light. The combination of these technologies, along with innovative lamp designs and customized LED packages make it possible to achieve smooth dimming and color modulation in the same step. Each of four models produces light output tailored for a specific poultry application.
AgriShift PL lighting advantages
• Light output comparable to a 100 W incandescent
• Power input 0-15 watts (dimmable)
• Installation choices: screw base, cord & plug, hard wired, conduit stub
• Spray clean; liquid & dust resistant
• Energy efficiency rebates available
• 18 month average ROI (before rebates)
• Rated for 50,000 hours: 4 x longer than CFLs and 30 x longer
than incandescent
• No negative effects of on/off cycles
• No audible buzz, negligible EMI
• Contains no hazardous, hard-to-dispose of, mercury
A look at the light from AgriShift PL lamps
The second graph shows how the AgriShift PLWB5000 closely mimics the color sensitivity of poultry (fluorescent, incandescent, and HID lamps do not). AgriShift PL lights are predominately within poultry’s peak spectral sensitivity range. The luminous efficacy (lumens per watt) is poultry optimized and results in maximum perceived light at minimum power. For that reason, blue can be dimmed low to save energy and will provide adequate light for broilers. As important as energy savings, light color affects biological function. Bluish light, for example, increases weight in broilers by stimulating testosterone secretion and myofiber growth. Monochromatic blue increases weight in Turkeys and has a calming effect on behavior.
Understanding the differences between the spectral sensitivity of poultry and humans
It is important to understand that light is made up of wavelengths on the electromagnetic spectrum. Different wavelengths indicate colors in the visible spectrum … that portion which is visible to, and can be detected by, the animal eye. A typical human eye will respond to wavelengths from about 400 nm (violet) to 750 nm (deep red) with a significant sensitivity peak at 555 nm (green). There is actually no white, or natural light “wavelength”. Natural white light is merely a combination of different color wavelengths. Think of how light traveling through a prism turns into visible monochromatic colors of light. Now mentally reverse the process where the colors combine and turn into visible light where we don’t discern the individual colors – even though they exist and play a role in what we see and how we feel or act.
A look at what poultry sees
The first graph shows the photopic (day vision) relative spectral sensitivity of the human eye compared to that of domestic fowl. Both show a similar sensitivity peak in the green spectrum. Poultry, however, are considerable more sensitive to red and blue light – and can see UV light humans do not. This reveals that perceived light intensity is considerably higher for poultry.
