GVA Lighting, Inc. is the recipient of the 2009 CSAE/SCGR (Canadian Society of Biological Engineers) Industrial Award. This award recognizes and honours GVA for producing a distinguished lighting product and service requiring significant engineering skill, which has contributed significantly to agriculture. GVA Lighting, Inc. has committed to supplying the agriculture industry with a superior lighting product which meets poultry and livestock's specific needs. GVA developed a linear fluorescent lighting system that is fully dimmable and is suitable for use in barns completely reliant on artificial light sources or in barns with plenty of natural light.
Light quality and quantity are essential in poultry and livestock housing. GVA's digital dimming linear fluorescent lighting system includes a dimmable ballast and a controller designed specifically for the needs of the agriculture industry. This versatile and durable lighting system mimics dusk and dawn and allows daylight harvesting. It gives producers the ability to deliver a more natural light environment within the barn, to adjust the light schedule according to the stage of production, and to harvest daylight in facilities which allow plenty of natural light to enter, reducing electrical energy use in the order of 55 to 60%.
GVA Lighting, Inc. is committed to providing high quality lighting products for the agriculture industry. Our commitment leads us to work in conjunction with agricultural engineers in the development and testing of new products at our own expense, and to supply design services to producers to ensure proper light distribution and adequate light levels. Through our forward thinking and commitment to the industry, GVA is continuing our efforts to improve poultry lighting by investigating the potential use and benefits of LED lighting systems.
