Are you facing an upgrade to the lighting in your barn or production facility? It's tempting to go with the cheapest solution. But be careful – that can quickly end up costing you dearly on both your electricity bill and your operating economy.

At RN Solutions, we see it time and again: a professional lighting solution with LED fixtures and smart lighting control isn't just durable – it's an investment that pays for itself faster than you think. For many of our customers, that happens within 3–6 months.

Are you still paying too much for electricity in your barn?

Lighting control isn't just "nice to have" – it's an effective tool for significantly reducing electricity consumption. Our solutions have helped farmers cut 50–80% of their electricity bill, and for the vast majority, the investment pays for itself in under a year.

Quality pays off – especially in cattle barns

Cattle barns place harsh demands on lighting. Humidity, ammonia and frequent washing are everyday realities here – and that places demands on both materials and functionality. That's why we deliver fixtures with IP69K certification and special coating that can withstand the most demanding conditions.

At the same time, smart lighting control lets you tailor the lighting to the animals' needs:

1

Milking cows

Perform best with 16–18 hours of light and at least 200 lux. This boosts both milk yield and heat detection.

2

Dry cows

Need darker surroundings and shorter light periods – this supports their recovery.

The result? Higher production, better welfare and an easier working environment for both people and animals.

Give the animals a rhythm they can follow

Lighting control isn't just about saving electricity. By simulating sunrise and sunset, the control helps create a natural circadian rhythm that brings calm and reduces stress in the barn. The transitions between light and dark become softer and more comfortable – and it can all be managed easily from your smartphone.

Softer transitions between light and dark bring calm to the barn – and it can all be managed easily from your smartphone.

The pig barn: more than just light

In the pig barn too, light is a key piece of production optimization. Here it's not just about being able to see – it's about influencing the sows' hormone balance. With the right light level (200–400 lux) and correct fixture placement, many pig producers achieve:

  • Clearer signs of heat
  • Fewer returns to service
  • Larger litters
  • Up to one extra piglet per litter
  • 2–5% higher farrowing rate

And yes – the investment is usually paid back within just a few months.
