Lighting Control Gear

Lighting Systems

Lighting systems and lighting control are an essential part of any agricultural plant, in particular, poultry farms. EPA supplies a range of lighting control panels for agricultural use, as well as systems for the control of tungsten fluorescent lighting, LED and dusk and dawn control systems.

Many of our systems are customised to suit individual needs, such as water resistance to IP65 from suppliers such as Disano, Littledown & Saxby, and EPA is always willing to discuss requirements to suit. We also hold a wide range of spares including diffusers, chokes, transformers, tubes and tube holders. In particular, large discounts are available on a range of replacement fluorescent tubes.

Dusk Till Dawn Programmable Lighting Control

The DTD (Dusk till Dawn) lighting processor control is a versatile simple to use unit, fitted with its own internal time clock, eliminating the need for a separate time clock and the ability to set a real time lighting pattern.

The unit is primarily designed to work with any
of the EPA Products and Agri- Lamp lighting
systems.

Including ALIS System

Features

  • Lighting pattern works in real time with the age of the flock
  • Independent ramping up time / ramping down time
  • Lighting Boost Facility to override the lighting intensity for a preset duration (eliminates human error)
  • Two independent lighting controls for split lighting system A & B Control
  • Simple Mode Setting Switches for single channel or two channel operation and enhanced lighting pattern
  • Alarm output for lighting control power supply failure
  • Power Supply 85vac – 250vac 50/60Hz
  • Input for 12vdc UPS Power Supply
  • Lighting Control output 0 - 10v signal
  • Part No. C0NT03DTD

Digital Dusk and Dawn Lighting Control

EPA has introduced a digital dusk and dawn dimmer control. The digital dusk dawn control has been designed to be used with the EPA high-frequency energy saving fluorescent lighting and tungsten lighting. Basic on/off times is still adjusted on a standard 24-hour lighting control clock. The first set of digits is the time span for lighting ramping up and down is adjusted from 0-30 minutes. The second set of digits is the desired brilliance adjusted as a percentage.

The units are made from shatterproof polycarbonate. The unique ramp up circuit brings the lights up gradually to its preset intensity with no flashing to frighten the birds. Units are available with or without time switch, and special higher capacity units with the option of individual lane switches can be built to specification.

The memory is not lost during a power failure and as an extra saving at 0% lighting after a short period the control circuit opens completely switch the lighting completely off.
