Hi, everyone
I am interested in building LED light fixtures for chicken coops.

I have been building custom lights for more than ten years now. Prices have fallen LEDS are now better than ever. I will be doing research on wide spectrum lighting to help our chickens lay eggs longer into the winter. I will post pictures of sample and prototype fixtures, in the near future.

I have a 60w (9W) LED bulb in my 63 sq. ft. coop mostly so I can see to count them when locking them up for the night. It is enough light to "read a newspaper by" as others have suggested. I see two different bulbs available, "soft white" and "daylight". I prefer the "daylight", seems brighter but is one of them better than the other for the chickens? Does either of them help with egg production or are they both the wrong light frequency?
