When it comes to dairy farm lighting, not all solutions are created equal. While ordinary LED lights may seem cost-effective at first, red-white specialized lights (like our Night Simulator Fixture) outperform them in lifespan, energy efficiency, spectrum stability, and milk yield sustainability. Here’s a direct comparison:
1. Lifespan: 5+ Years vs. 2-3 Years
Red-White Lights:
Engineered for agricultural use, these lights last 50,000+ hours (5+ years) even in humid or dusty barn conditions. Their durable housing resists corrosion.
Ordinary LED:
Typically degrade after 20,000–30,000 hours (2–3 years) in farm environments. Frequent replacements increase long-term costs.
Bottom line: Fewer replacements = lower labor and hardware costs.
2. Energy Efficiency: Save Up to 45% on Power
Red-White Lights(Dairy farm lighting system) :
Optimized spectrum (5000K white + 630nm) delivers higher lumens per watt.
Ordinary LEDs:
Waste energy emitting irrelevant wavelengths (e.g., blue light), which can disrupt cow circadian rhythms.
This product uses at least 75% less electricity than traditional incandescent lighting.
3. Spectrum Stability: Consistent Light for Consistent Milk
Red-White Lights(High-intensity cow lighting):
Maintain stable spectral output over time, ensuring cows receive the same light quality daily. This mimics natural sunlight, critical for melatonin/prolactin regulation.
Ordinary LED:
Spectrum shifts as they age (e.g., blue light increases), potentially stressing cows and reducing milk yield.
Proven impact: According to reports from farms utilizing stable spectrum lighting, there has been a reduction in the fluctuation of milk production in dairy cows during the lactation period.
4. Milk Yield Sustainability: Extend Peak Production
Red-White Lights(Red White LED Fixture):
Studies show 16 hours of stable light (followed by 8 dark) extends peak lactation by 20+ days (vs. 14-hour irregular light). Cows experience fewer dry-period setbacks.
Ordinary LED:
Inconsistent light duration/quality can shorten lactation peaks and increase dry-period recovery time .
Key takeaway: Reliable lighting = more milk per cow per year.
