STERNA Just Got Even Better!

Lighting cage systems has never been easy. Farmers know the struggle: uneven shadows, unpredictable bird behavior, and lighting that just doesn’t match the complexity of the setup. 

And when the lighting isn’t right? Birds notice. Growth becomes uneven. Stress increases. Productivity takes a hit. 

That’s where STERNA comes in. 

A lighting system built
specifically for H-frame cage systems — no adaptations, no compromises. Just light that works with your birds, not against them. 

Built for Cage Systems. Designed for Results.  

Most LED systems weren’t designed for cage environments. That’s why many setups suffer from: 

  • Harsh bright spots that cause bird stress 
  • Shadowy zones that keep birds from feeding 
  • Uneven lighting across tiers leading to inconsistent growth 

That’s exactly why we developed STERNA—with purpose-built precision.

Its dual-sided light pattern casts uniform light across all tiers — evenly covering feeding lines and creating a calm, predictable environment that birds can thrive in. No more hesitation at feeding time. No more territorial behaviors. Just smooth, balanced growth. 

Why Uniformity Matters  

In cage systems, every shadow matters. Every inconsistency adds up.

That’s why STERNA is designed with precise LED angles to eliminate lighting gaps — giving each bird equal access to feeding, space, and comfort. The result? 

  • Less aggression between birds 
  • More uniform development 
  • Better overall welfare across the flock 

Lighting should never be an afterthought. 
With STERNA, it becomes a reliable, efficient tool for better poultry management.
