Alumi-Knight Lighting
Engineered poultry lighting designed to extend laying season naturally -
without harsh on/off cycles, flicker stress, or complicated timers.
Light controls production
Laying hens are governed by day length. As days shorten, production naturally declines.
Many people try inexpensive LED bulbs and plug-in timers, but those often create harsh on/off cycles and inconsistent light schedules.
Stable light supports stable routines - and calmer birds.
Designed as equipment, not a hardware-store bulb
Intelligent timer
- Automatically supplements natural daylight
- Set your total light hours once - no daily programming
- Gradually ramps up to your chosen schedule to avoid abrupt changes
Sunrise/sunset behavior
- Soft dawn ramp (warm red/orange) into full light
- Gentle fade-out instead of abrupt shutoff
- Designed to mimic natural sunrise/sunset
Poultry-specific bulb
- Purpose-built LED spectrum for laying hens
- Not a generic shop light
Tool-battery powered
- Runs on common tool batteries
- No hardwiring and no extension cords across pasture
- Practical for off-grid or mobile setups
Where it fits in Western Canada
The Alumi-Coop is not intended to house chickens through harsh prairie winters. An insulated coop is recommended in extreme cold.
In milder climates (many parts of BC), Alumi-Coops can be used through winter and supplemental lighting is strongly recommended for consistent laying as daylight shortens.
Shoulder seasons are another practical use case - when day length drops but conditions are still manageable.
Works in an insulated winter coop too
The lighting unit can be moved into an insulated coop for winter use.
It can be mounted on a wall with two screws for a clean, secure install.
Practical note: extreme cold can be hard on tool batteries. In very low temperatures, batteries may need to be kept warmer (for example, bring them inside for charging and storage) to maintain performance.
Designed for calm flocks
Abrupt light changes and inconsistent schedules create unnecessary stress.
This system is designed to be gradual, predictable, and stable - like natural daylight rhythms.
