First LED bulb designed for the egg and broiler sectors.

Glo Agrilamp from Buckingham company Greengage Lighting claims to be the first LED bulb designed for the egg and broiler sectors.

Rated at 4W, it replaces a 25W tungsten filament lamp and claims to reduce lighting energy consumption by 90%. It was developed and tested with egg producer Noble Foods, which says it made the birds calmer.

It costs £16 a bulb and lasts for 25,000 hours. It is also fully dimmable and reduces heat output by 50%.
