Pig Vision & Lighting Science

Most people don’t realize that pigs see light differently from humans.They are less sensitive to red and more sensitive to blue and green wavelengths.That’s why pig lighting requires a special spectrum — not just normal white lamps.

Visual Spectrum Difference:

Human eye range: 380–780 nm
Pig eye range: 400–650 nm

This means pigs perceive less red light but more contrast in green-blue tones.
So during the day, full-spectrum white light keeps them active and eating,
while at night, soft red light lets caretakers work without disturbing their rest.

Recommended Lighting Conditions:

Daytime full-spectrum and nighttime red light for pig barns

Daytime: Full-spectrum white light, 150–200 Lux
Nighttime: Red light (<15 Lux) for calm environment
16 hours light : 8 hours dark rhythm for breeding balance

Technical Highlights

DIALux tested — average illuminance 150–200 Lux
Uniform light distribution, fewer shadows
Red-spectrum support for fertility and rest
IP67 waterproof, ammonia-proof housing
Energy savings up to 60% vs. traditional lamps

Even lighting reduces stress and improves feeding behavior.

Benefits for Dairy Farms

Better Reproduction – Red wavelengths support hormone activity and sow fertility.
Improved Feed Intake – Daylight spectrum encourages steady eating and growth.
Less Stress – Flicker-free light calms piglets and prevents tail biting.
Energy Efficiency – 60% lower power use compared to fluorescent tubes.
Long Lifespan – Up to 50,000 hours, even in ammonia-heavy barns.

FAQ

 About 16 hours of light and 8 hours of darkness is ideal for breeding balance.

Red light helps workers see without disturbing pigs’ rest.

 Around 150–200 Lux during day, <15 Lux at night

Red-enhanced light stimulates hormones and helps sows enter heat more consistently.

Yes — with dimming control, one model can fit breeding, nursery, and finishing areas.

How Proper Lighting Improves Pig Welfare and Farm Productivity

Lighting does more than make a barn bright.
For pigs, it’s part of their environment — shaping how they behave, eat, and rest.
Good lighting helps farmers create a calmer, healthier space that supports steady growth and better fertility.

What Is Pig Lighting

Pig lighting means using LED lights specially made for pig barns.
These lights are not the same as normal white lamps.
Pigs see differently from humans — they’re more sensitive to blue and green light,
and less to red.

That’s why proper pig lighting combines daytime full-spectrum light to support feeding and activity,
with soft red light at night to allow workers to move without disturbing the herd.
This natural rhythm helps pigs stay calm, grow evenly, and maintain better health.

Why Lighting Matters in Pig Farming

Light doesn’t just affect visibility — it influences hormones and daily rhythm.
When light levels and timing stay consistent, pigs feel secure.
That stability helps maintain feeding habits, reduces tail biting, and improves fertility.

European studies show that balanced LED lighting can reduce stress-related behavior
and increase reproductive performance by up to 10%.

Calm pigs under uniform LED lighting show improved behavior and fertility.

The Role of LED Technology

Old fluorescent lamps often flicker and create uneven brightness.
Modern LED systems provide steady, full-spectrum light — close to natural daylight — and save up to 60% energy.
They last longer, resist humidity and ammonia, and work reliably for years.

With proper installation, LED pig lighting supports every stage — breeding, farrowing, nursery, and finishing —
helping farmers maintain consistent conditions across all areas.

How Light Affects Pig Behavior

Light influences how pigs eat, sleep, and interact.
Daytime lighting should be bright enough to keep pigs active and feeding,
while nighttime red light helps them rest calmly.

This simple adjustment can:
Reduce aggression and fighting
Improve feed conversion
Support healthy sleep and hormone balance

Why More Farms Are Upgrading to LED

Farmers are switching to LED lighting not only for power savings —
but because it makes barns safer and more comfortable.

Main advantages include:
Better animal welfare and calmer pigs
Improved reproduction and growth
Energy savings and lower maintenance
Cleaner light for staff visibility

LED upgrades improve comfort for both pigs and caretakers.

Final Thoughts

Lighting may seem like a small part of farm management,
but it directly affects how pigs feel and perform.
When light is balanced and consistent,
the whole barn runs smoother — calmer animals, better feeding, and improved fertility.

Smart LED systems like AmberAgri’s Pig lighting to help farmers reach these results with durable, energy-efficient lighting made for real farm conditions.
