Lights for beef shed

[Wooly]

What size is your sheds

100 x 40, 105 x 50

Don't need them lit up like a Christmas tree, just enough to see what I am doing in these dark mornings / nights.

I think you might have answered the question in the previous post, but was thinking about just a couple of spotlights at each end !

 

[COWCARE SYSTEMS]

I would go for 3no 54w corn lamps in each building

Iv a shed I want to light up, it's 80 feet by 20, enough light to check cattle without needing a torch. What do you advise?

@COWCARE SYSTEMS i was curious; what colour are your led lights ?

Reason I ask is I see on the news about tablets having a very blue tint to thier backlighting which discourages sleeping. It mainly came about because of an app that changes the tint of the screen to a more warm colour.

What colour are your led lights and does the colour have an effect on cow comfort in any way and/or the 'brightness' of them?

 

[COWCARE SYSTEMS]

@milkloss
Our LEDs can be supplied from 2700 - 7000k, yes the issue with tablets etc is the use before bed, blue tint is beneficial during the day as it helps relieve the effects of winter blues or SAD.

I agree with Cowcare on wattage,but the recommended minimum for a shed is 40 lux,rising to 50 lux if you want to read a label etc.,see our LJRF 48-1160 attached,this is IP66 with a minimum life of 50,000 hours or about ten years with no maintenance other than a high pressure jet wash to clean it - lojerledlighting.co.uk

Slightly on a tangent but we upgraded the lighting in one of our store calf sheds over the summer and we also wired in two smaller lights connected to a dusk to dawn sensor. Would never have believed the difference , its not two suns we put in just enough for the calves to see each other and the shed layout and no where near enough to affect their sleep. But their intake of feed ration per day has jumped up as they are continuing to eat throughout the night , they appear a lot less stressed as I don't care what anyone says but calves do not appreciate the dark ! and in turn they are a lot easier to handle and are more docile than the calves that went pitch black each night in the same shed in previous years.

Just acquired a pair of 150watt metal halide lights to go in a shed I use be just the job I hope.
There are actually a sodium light but I have replaced the bulbs with a metal halide one which works with sodium running gear

Sodium is useless yellow light no good for nothing. Got 2 x 70watt sodium lights I replaced with metal halide bulbs a few years ago they are way better.

got the bulbs from here www.bltdirect.com

What about these ip64 rating so perfect for cow sheds
12w to 120watt available in e40, e27 & b22

Hi Can you pass on the details for these E40 i think is the size i need to rep big threaded 250w bulbs in a shed here
with an LED bulb which looks like what you have in your picture there?
Can i have prices & wattage equ to classic 250 bulbs & i would be looking for 5 of these...
Thanks

 

[COWCARE SYSTEMS]

@Farma Parma
You probably would get away with the 54w units costing £39 each.
output is 5500 lumens

 

[Farma Parma]

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/60w-LED-C...862891?hash=item5d57ac382b:g:MR4AAOSw~gRVm90U

The Light Fittings which there is 5 are in the middle passage of a 120 x 80ft shed are 47years old this year & i only have bulbs
in two of them. but would like modern LEDs in them all
i also have four x 500w floodlights doing the four quarters of the rest of the shed of which two of them have just been
replaced with HQ Luxlite 80LED units, doing the other two v soon.
So whats these 54w units you have then?

Similar in principle but that's it, these are ip64 rated note the plastic covers. Also note the large aluminium heat sink in the centre. These can be installed with or without a fitting.
Available from 12w up to 120w.
