Guys, why do chicken farms use dimmers?

Guys, why do chicken farms use dimmers?

Answer:

In previous years, the light source used by the farms was incandescent, and the incandescent light was easy to adjust, and the voltage was adjusted directly. Energy-saving lamps lighting applications began after 80 s, several times than the incandescent lamp energy saving, energy-saving lamps but energy-saving lamps used in farm, there is a problem that move light, because the cause of the startup circuit structure, energy-saving lamp dimming is difficult, then some of the enterprise development cold cathode fluorescent lamp, a dimmer can control the whole henhouse dimmer, but adjustable brightness is difficult to achieve such as the brightness of the incandescent lamp as extremely low, and the light is not stable, easy to flicker. As the LED light source into the market in recent years, many farms using LED ball steep light, but the ac power LED bulbs dimmer, can only start from thirty percent brightness, and if large dimming, tend to be very serious stroboscopic, unable to normal breeding.
Domestic companies have not had a good effect on the development of light-farm projects. There are some enterprises to adopt dc light source products, the use of dc input voltage change dimming, effect is good, but the dc source in use and the power is too far, light photosynthetic efficiency to reduce serious, and the product cost is higher. In recent years, heilongjiang and sen photoelectric joined the dimmer development, communication failure many times, finally developed the brightness can be from 1% to 100% between stable LED light source the hand from a body that move light dimmers, use with the LED light source of the enterprise develop can be done in the open to turn off the lights when the growing gradually destroyed, simulate the natural state of sunrise and sunset, and can be used and AC2000 supporting, suitable for different sizes of aquaculture enterprises
Different breeding stages require different lighting intensity. Chicks need strong light, 60-100 lux, and illumination time long, at 22 to 23 hours a day, with the increase of age, illumination time and light intensity gradually reduced, especially meat and poultry, at the early stage of the market need the weaker between 10 to 15 lux light.
Suddenly light in the darkness of the environment, all the light source, poultry easy cause panic, for egg and meat and poultry has a great influence on the physical and emotional. Some poultry breeds, for light suddenly all light sensitive, easy cause shock. And suddenly all the lights off, will cause the birds don't adapt to, can't enter the resting state by biological pattern. You need a dim light to catch the chicken when it comes out When such catch chicken, light reaches 5 lux, the location of human eyes can see birds fuzzy to capture, but birds is very quiet, can't identify the direction and see the environment, it will reduce the birds flying disorderly bump, greatly improve the production rate.
