Poultry Lighting
We are delighted to partner with premium poultry lighting brand Sunbird LED of South Africa to offer a top quality solution to the Irish market. Light has a significant influence on the performance and welfare of
poultry, which is why using a poultry lighting system designed to produce the ideal lighting is essential for breeding, rearing, broilers, and layers in chicken, turkey and duck farming operations.
Regulate and Optimize Breeder and Layer Health
Light controls the day and night rhythms, egg production and behaviour of breeders and layers. But often, unique settings present farmers with less than adequate lighting. Dark spots and shadows are common when using traditional nesting boxes, while hard to manage light intensities are inherent with central type nesting boxes.
Sunbird’s lighting system handles challenges both by providing uniform light distribution in traditional nesting box layouts and by offering lighting intensities that diminish towards the nest in central type nest houses thereby luring birds into the nests and reducing floor eggs.
SUNBIRD® LED lighting can also be used to positively influence breeder and layer activity, feed intake, encourage and regulate biological clocks and rhythms, and minimize floor eggs.
Create a Healthier Rearing Environment
Rearing is an important phase in the development of breeders and layers. During rearing, growth and sexual development of the hens are optimized by good management practices and housing conditions.
SUNBIRD® lighting systems create the ideal setting for the development of breeders and layers by providing uniform light coverage with optimum lux levels.
Efficiently Manage Broiler Health and Production
Optimal photoperiod, wavelength, intensity, and distribution of light are essential for stimulating activity and feed. Together, the perfect application of these elements influence the uniformity of birds and contribute to even litters along with reduced health and welfare problems.
Sunbird’s LED poultry lighting accounts for the design of standard traditional floor and colony houses, allowing the uniform distribution of light throughout each structure to help promote healthier broiler production.
Lighting for Turkeys
It is well known that lighting patterns strongly influence the maturity of turkey broilers and breeders. Our LED lighting systems can be used to produce application-specific lighting, creating an optimized environment and enhanced turkey welfare and performance.
Lighting for Ducks
Artificial lighting is important for commercial duck production as it contributes to a healthy environment and influences both egg and weight yields. Our lighting systems can be used to create healthy environments to influence duck reproduction.

Durable, Efficient and Cost-Effective Agricultural Lighting
SUNBIRD® lighting is the choice of livestock farms across the globe and is designed to deliver the optimal light to create ideal environments for peak animal performance and welfare.
The System
SUNBIRD’s lighting system comprises four primary components, the luminaire, the driver, the dimmer and the repeater. A single dimmer controls an unlimited number of lights through the repeaters. The industrial grade drivers convert the incoming 110/230VAC to the systems 48VDC operating voltage. Repeaters and drivers are factory fitted into SUNBIRD® enclosures ready for plug and play installation on site. The complete system is designed and manufactured at our factory in South Africa to ensure perfect control with maximum lifespan.
Durable Luminaires
Our luminaires are cast in a highly-durable composite resin which gives the unit an IP69K ingress rating, making it both chemical resistant and waterproof. SUNBIRD® lights also include oversized heatsinks that ensure cooler operation resulting in lifespans greater than 100,000 hours. Lights either attach to a round Junction Box or directly to an illumination cable with the optional easy clip bracket option. SUNBIRD® lights are also backed by a 5-year guarantee.
Industrial Grade Drivers
Lights are 48VDC and powered by an external 110/230V LED driver. While typical LED bulbs or tubes use a built-in driver, the SUNBIRD® system uses an external, industrial grade driver which powers multiple lights on a circuit. This design allows for power factor correction and superior protection from under/over voltage and short circuits.
Precise Dimming Functionality
The SUNBIRD® dimmer offers true and linear 0-100% dimming in 3 modes. The Manual, Dusk to Dawn or 0-10V mode and the selected dimming percentage is displayed on the Oled screen. Dimmers and repeaters include built-in electrostatic discharge & voltage spike protection for power inputs and outputs. A single dimmer controls an unlimited number of SUNBIRD® lights.
Features and Benefits
Long-lasting SUNBIRD® LED units are developed with a larger heatsink to ensure a lifespan of over 100 000 hours.
5-Year Guarantee
Receive a 5-year quality guarantee on each lighting system to give you complete peace of mind.
Smooth Dimming Capability
Our 3-in-1 single device dimming includes an OLED screen that displays mode and percentage ratings. Dimmers allow seamless dusk to dawn and 0-10V control for environments. Dimming can be controlled between 0% and 100%. Dimmers and repeaters also include built-in electrostatic discharge & voltage spike protection for power inputs and outputs.
Easy Installation
The SUNBIRD® light is mounted directly onto a plastic junction box and does not require any additional fitting or waterproofing. A standard 2-core house wire is used to wire the system and the control gear comes pre-wired for simple installation. It is quite common that our customers retrofit the SUNBIRD® system to existing electrical infrastructure and points, limiting the need to replace entire infrastructure and keeping costs low. The new easy clip installation bracket allows for lights to be crimped onto an illumination cable with no tools or electrician required.
Industrial Grade Transformer (Driver)
We use an industrial grade Driver to power a bank of lights. This transformer is Power Factor Corrected (PFC) and offers superior protection against poor power supply including under/over voltage, preventing lights from blowing. The drive also carries an IP65 ingress protection rating and can operate at high ambient temperatures.
Lighting Design
We prepare professional simulations and 3D modelling for every quotation as part of our service offering. Our team of lighting designers will replicate your house on the lighting program and design the lighting layout in such a way that your lux and uniformity goals are met in the most economical way.
