More about AgriShift® MLM-R for Layers & Breeders - 8W Hard Wired Base
Designed specifically for layers and breeders, AgriShift MLM-R for Layers & Breeders with a Hard Wired Base uses Dim-to-Red® technology. The red spectrum has been shown to decrease time to peak production by stimulating the release of two reproduction regulating hormones essential for sexual maturation and daily egg laying.
Sunrise and sunset simulation eliminates the stress of switching lights on and off abruptly. This lessens overall stress in the flock and lowers mortality, while improving immune response and animal welfare.

Science Behind the Technology
The AgriShift MLM-R has a deep red saturated light output, with an added blue and green spectrum, benefiting the vision of your bird. The enhanced red spectrum is the only spectrum shown to stimulate a hen’s hypothalamic and pineal oscillators, helping maintain circadian rhythms and promoting sexual maturity.
- Dim-to-Red Technology provides a natural sunrise and sunset simulation, reducing stress on your animals
- A Built For Your Barn design uses techniques and materials that withstand harsh barn environments for years to come
- AgriShift lighting systems "shift" spectrum & intensity, meeting the individual needs of your animals
