Evaluation of New Energy Efficient-Lighting Technologies for Poultry Housing

All the energy-efficient lamps tested at the University of Delaware used less energy than standard incandescent ones but one of the new types was less durable than expected. Incandescent lamps will be phased out in the United States from next year and producers are looking for the best alternatives.


Lighting impacts the behaviour, growth and reproduction of poultry, according to Eric Benson and Robert Alphin of the University of Delaware in a report for research sponsored by the US Poultry & Egg Association. They explain that artificial lighting is extensively used in raising commercial poultry. Incandescent lamps, one of the most common forms of lamps in the United States, are being phased out, starting in 2012. This leaves new roles for other lighting technologies, including cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL), compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) and light-emitting diodes (LED).
