Why You Should Still Turn on the Barn Lights – Even When the Sun Is Shining

Spring is here – but what about the light in the barn?

The light is returning. The sun rises earlier, the days are getting longer, and it’s noticeable both outdoors and inside. But even though it’s bright outside, it’s worth asking: Are your animals getting the light they need – every day, all year round?

At RN Solutions, we focus on one thing: ensuring that the lighting in your barn makes a real difference. Because it's not just about flipping a switch – it's about productivity, welfare, and animal health.

Biology follows light – not the calendar

Light is more than vision. It’s a biological signal that regulates circadian rhythms and hormone production. It has a direct impact on your animals’ performance and well-being.

• Dairy cows need stable light levels to produce optimally
• Sows respond to daylight length in relation to heat cycles and fertility
• Poultry regulate laying and behavior based on the amount of light they receive

Your animals don’t know it’s spring – they simply react to the quality and consistency of the light in their environment.

Light is a production tool

The right LED lighting can:

• Increase productivity
• Improve animal welfare
• Reduce stress and disease

It’s about intensity, color temperature, placement, and circadian control – and, above all, intelligent light management. A well-designed lighting environment supports animals’ natural behavior, leading to healthier animals and better performance.

Natural light is deceptive – and so are habits

It’s easy to fall into the trap:
"It’s bright enough outside."

But inside the barn – especially in deep, wide, or enclosed spaces – natural daylight isn’t enough. And automatic systems only help if they’re set up and maintained correctly.

Checklist for you as a farmer:

• Are your animals getting the correct lux levels in their primary living area?
• Is the circadian rhythm accurately simulated?
• Are your fixtures still delivering the output they did two years ago?

An investment that pays off

Good barn lighting isn’t a luxury – it’s a business decision. Poor or inadequate lighting costs more in the long run in terms of production, health, and welfare.

With the right lighting, you can:

• Improve growth and reproduction
• Extend production cycles
• Reduce medical treatments
