297 Stable and Yard Lighting Made for long-lasting use in harsh environments! LED technology in the stable pays off LEDs operate at a high level of effectiveness and are extremely efficient. Their luminous efficacy is therefore especially high. As a rule, the investment costs for new equipment or a conversion are currently still higher than for conventional lighting; however these costs will pay for themselves over a short time due to the considerable savings in running costs. Put your trust in Kerbl’s experience: Our lights were specially developed for lasting use in stables and similarly demanding environments. As well as high stress due to humidity and dust, lights in stables are exposed to a lot of chemicals in the ambient air and due to cleaning processes. In particular, lights have to be able to withstand high concentrations of ammonia. Therefore, to ensure a long service life, we focus our efforts on the technical design, the use of suitable electronic components and materials, and high-quality workmanship of our LED lights. And we don’t just rely on our own expertise – we also put our products through special safety and load tests by independent and recognised testing institutes such as TÜV Süd and the DLG Test Lab. Our LED indoor spotlights and MultiLED Pro and FarmPRO lights have passed ammonia resistance tests at the DLG Test Lab. More light means more milk Lighting duration, lighting intensity and light colour all have a major impact on lactation, fertility and the well-being of animals. In dairy cattle farming, lighting management is therefore extremely important. Scientific studies have shown that daily milk production can be increased by 5 – 15 % on average during long daylight phases with 16 hours of light and 8 hours of darkness. However, this requires a uniform lighting strength of 150 – 200 lux.
