I'm going to have to temporarily put my chickens in a shed with now windows for a few days while I make some modifications to their coop and run. It'll be fully kitted out with everything they need, with the exception of light. Chickens lay based on their light cycle, and no light will really screw with them. So I was thinking of a way to simulate the day/night cycle.
My idea was a 250w panel, either 12v or 24v, and just some 12-24v LED lights that could illuminate the shed. Sun comes up, panel powers bulbs, they gradually come on, sun sets, the bulb dims until it stops receiving electricity. And I thought that's great.
But can it really be that simple?
