We are proud to announce a significant update to its trusted RUDAX lighting solution, tailored to meet the evolving needs of dairy farmers worldwide.
With a renewed focus on performance, simplicity, and animal welfare, the new RUDAX variants bring innovative lighting technology to barns worldwide.
Optimised for productivity
At the core of the RUDAX update is the unique Lactivus spectrum - engineered to optimise the hormonal balance, supporting dairy productivity in a biologically intuitive way
Field results across Europe show that consistent exposure to this optimized light can lead to milk yield increases of up to 8%.

By integrating Lactivus Spectrum, the new RUDAX simplifies lighting routines, making it easy for farmers to achieve optimal results.
Tailored for all regional needs
Designed for dairy barns, RUDAX simplifies installation and reduces costs by removing dual-channel configurations, while retaining the proven Lactivus spectrum. There's even a plug-and-play connection setup possible for easy installation.
For the US and Canadian markets, a UL-compliant variant is available, featuring enhanced durability and flexible installation options such as plug & play and standalone configurations.
Installation made easy
Whether you're upgrading an existing setup or starting fresh, RUDAX offers multiple installation formats:
- Plug & Play for fast deployment.
- Standalone options for customised control, including dimmable versions for sunrise and sunset simulation.

Why RUDAX stands out
Animal-Centric Design: Optimised spectrum, supporting animal comfort and welfare.
Farmer-Friendly Features: Easy installation, reduced energy consumption, and measurable productivity gains.
Certified & Compliant: CE certified for Europe and UL certified for North America.
A Smart Investment
With over 9 million dairy cattle in the US alone, the potential impact of RUDAX is substantial. Early adopters report rapid ROI through increased milk output and easy usage. Whether you're a small-scale farmer or managing large operations, RUDAX is engineered to deliver results.
