Smart Lighting Systems for Giantstar Farming and Husbandry
Project Overview of Smart Lighting Systems
Client: Leshan Giantstar Farming and Husbandry Corporation Limited (Sichuang, China)
Industry: Livestock Farming (Pig Production)
Application: Breeding house, farrowing house, and gilt development house
Solution: Ceramiclite T8 Tri-proof Livestock Lighting + Intelligent Dimming Control System.
Giantstar Farming and Husbandry is a modern livestock enterprise focusing on high-efficiency pig production. To improve animal welfare, optimize lighting conditions, and reduce energy and maintenance costs, Giantstar Farming and Husbandry partnered with Ceramiclite to deploy a smart dimmable lighting system across multiple pig housing facilities.
Challenges of Smart Livestock Lighting
Livestock environments present extreme challenges for lighting systems, including:
-
High humidity, ammonia, and corrosive gases
-
Frequent high-pressure washing and sanitation
-
Strict lighting requirements for animal growth and reproduction
-
Energy consumption optimization targets
-
High maintenance costs and lamp replacement frequency
Solution: Ceramiclite Smart Livestock Lighting System
Ceramiclite provided a complete lighting solution combining high-performance tri-proof LED fixtures with intelligent dimming controllers.
