Poultry will perform as well under LED light as it does under any other light source. It needs to be well lit, dimmers working properly and poultry well cared for during the hatching and growing phases.
Many farmers who replace compact fluorescent lamps with LED lamps find that their poultry has become more docile. This may be because LED lights don't blink like fluorescent lights. Because chickens have sharper eyesight than humans, chickens are more susceptible to flashing lights.
To some extent, LED technology is more advanced than dimmer technology, so not all dimmers can be adapted to LED bulbs. As a result, LED bulbs cannot be dimmed in a linear manner like incandescent lamps. On LED lights, the dimmer may need to be adjusted very much to make the LED appear a little dimmed. Dimmer manufacturers are also struggling to catch up, but there are still many old dimmers on the market, which need to be upgraded to accurately adjust the brightness of LED lights.
Some dimmers may only need to install an upgraded chip to work properly, but some dimmers are too old and can only be replaced with new products to adapt to more advanced LED technology.
Choose LED bulbs with the right color temperature. The color temperature is expressed in Kelvin temperature units (ON). The warm light is from 2700 to 3000 kelvin, similar to incandescent light or high-pressure sodium light, with an orange-red color. Natural light ranges from 3400 to 3700 kelvins. Cool light with bluish-white color, ranging from 5000 to 6000 kelvin.
