SYLVA Dimmable: The Light That Adapts Like Nature

Step into a poultry house where the lighting works in harmony with nature. Birds move effortlessly through the space, settling where they feel most comfortable. No harsh brightness, no unnecessary stress—just a calm, naturally balanced environment that supports both animal welfare and farm efficiency. This is SYLVA Dimmable—lighting that evolves with your flock. 

Compared to simple on/off systems, dimmable gradient lighting offers a more natural way to support bird welfare - something more and more farmers are now embracing. Lighting should adapt just as naturally as they do. That’s why we introduced SYLVA Dimmable - giving farmers the power to fine-tune brightness and create the ideal conditions for their birds at every stage of growth. 

Real Feedback. Real Improvement. 

The original SYLVA system was already a hit—simple, intuitive, and built around the idea of gradient light so birds could self-regulate their comfort zone. 

But as always, we kept listening. 

“The birds love it—until the final week.” 
“The brightness becomes too much near the end.” 
“I wish I could turn it down just a little.” 

These were the messages we heard again and again. And they were right. 

During the last 7–10 days of the flock cycle, light intensity started to work against bird behavior. Stress, aggression, and discomfort increased. 

So we made a change: SYLVA Dimmable was born—lighting that flexes with the natural rhythm of your flock.

Lighting That Feels Like Daylight  

Think of how the sun behaves throughout the day—rising gradually, shifting gently, dimming as evening comes. 

SYLVA Dimmable brings that same gentle progression into your poultry house, bringing several benefits: 

  • Adjustable Brightness – Tailor intensity based on flock age and behavior.
  • Calmer, Healthier Birds – Reduced aggression, better rest, and improved welfare.
  • Optimized Efficiency – More control = better feed conversion and steadier performance. 

And the best part?  No rewiring, no headaches—just lighting that works with you.

Thinking Long-Term? So Did We. 

SYLVA Dimmable isn’t just about fixing a short-term problem. It’s designed for farms that think ahead: 

  • Easy Installation – No special tools or system changes needed.
  • Consistency Across Cycles – Reliable light quality for the long haul.
  • Future-Proof Tech – Ready to evolve with your farm’s needs. 

 

It's Time to Rethink Poultry Lighting 

Farming has always been about working with nature—not pushing against it. 
SYLVA Dimmable takes that philosophy to heart. 

Ready to evolve your lighting? We’ll help you find the right fit for your farm.
