The SUNBIRD® dimmer offers the best dimming of any other system from its intuitive 3 mode digital display. Manual, Dusk to Dawn delay from a timer or full 0-10V control from an environmental computer with 1000 even increments between 0,01 and 10V or between 0 and 100%. A single dimmer controls an unlimited number of lights. Give you flock that natural edge with true dusk to dawn dimming like nature intended.
We use industrial grade drivers to power the 48V DC lights. These drivers are Power Factor Corrected (PFC) and offer superior protection against poor power supply including under/over voltage.
Our unique Luminaires are cast in a highly durable composite resin, giving them an IP69K ingress rating and making it waterproof and chemical resistant.
We prepare professional simulations and 3D modelling for every quotation as part of our service offering. Our team of lighting designers will replicate your house on the lighting program and design the lighting layout in such a way that your lux and uniformity goals are met in the most economical way.
SUNBIRD® lighting is the choice of livestock farms across the globe and is designed to deliver the optimal light to create ideal environments for peak animal performance and welfare.
SUNBIRD’s lighting system comprises of four primary components, the luminaire, the driver, the dimmer and the repeater. A single dimmer controls an unlimited number of lights through the repeaters. The industrial grade drivers convert the incoming 220/277VAC to the systems 48VDC operating voltage. Repeaters and drivers are factory fitted into SUNBIRD® enclosures ready for plug and play installation on site. The complete system is designed and manufactured at our factory in South Africa to ensure perfect control with maximum lifespan.
Our luminaires are cast in a highly-durable composite resin which gives the unit an IP69K ingress rating, making it both chemical resistant and waterproof.

“The lighting from Sunbird is without doubt the best poultry light I have ever seen. We have also used them at Mountain Valley. Their service is excellent and their lights fantastic, and I get no commission!! They are just good!”
David Stock
COO, National Chicks- South Africa
“Fantastic lighting Philip, very pleased with the system, we can now actually see the bits we missed when washing! It is like daylight on a good clear day in here. My birds are doing very well. The whiter light seems to have encouraged them to go out more as they seem used to the brightness. I am also having more uniform bird size.”
Henry Johnson
Contract Grower, Moy Park - UK
“We are very happy with the lights and the fast and professional service and advice we received from Sunbird. We would like to place an order for our next chicken houses.”
