BUBO + BUBO With Lens = Optimal System Lighting

The impact of lighting on the health and productivity of laying hens is undeniable. This applies not only to main lighting but also to system lighting.

That's why our BUBO has remained one of our best-selling products for years. This system lighting solution ensures optimal illumination both in and under the system.

To achieve this, two types of BUBO are necessary: the "standard" BUBO and the BUBO with a lens. But why are two types of BUBO necessary? And where should each type be used? Let's explore.

Did you know that HATO was the first to introduce a system lighting solution in the form of a tube?

The Importance of Proper Light Distribution:

Light distribution (the amount of light in different areas of the house) is crucial in aviary systems. Proper light distribution can significantly reduce the number of floor eggs and encourage hens to return to the system in the evening. The BUBO is specially designed to accomplish this. 

Which BUBO should we use where?

The decision of where to use each type plays a vital role in achieving the correct light distribution. 

"Standard" BUBO

The "Standard" BUBO (without a lens), specifically designed for use within the system, offers a narrower light spread. This feature prevents light from spilling into the aisles, crucial for when the aisle lights are turned off at night. It encourages hens to return to the system, essential for maintaining order and minimizing floor eggs.

Conclusion:

The availability of BUBO lamps in two distinct variants highlights the importance of strategic lighting in aviary systems. By employing the "standard" one within the system and the BUBO with a lens under the system, poultry farmers can enhance hen behavior and decrease floor eggs. This innovation isn't merely an improvement; it's a necessity for anyone aiming for an optimally functioning coop.
