Pakster Side Wall Inlet Light Hoods

Proven to improve bird performance. Effectively reduces sunlight infusion. Minimal reduction in airflow. Reduces rain, wind and weather flowing into your houses. Reduces concerns with your lighting program.

East Iowa Plastics’ Light Hoods help producers address the challenges of keeping broiler houses dark when sidewall inlets open to allow ventilating. This is especially true for older birds. Even when the sun does not shine directly through inlet openings, light intensity can easily exceed one ft-candle power…the equivalent of 75-watt light bulbs. Direct sunlight can raise in-house light intensity up to 50 ft-candles. Light infusion through inlet openings can increase bird activity and it will have a negative effect on your lighting program.

Testing by the University of Georgia indicates that East Iowa Plastics’ light hood can reduce light infusion by up to 300 factors. Even when your inlets are wide open to provide maximum ventilation, our light hoods will allow sufficient airflow while effectively reducing light infusion. EIP light hoods will help you control your in-house environment.

	EIP light hoods have expanded openings on both sides of the hood to provide adequate ventilation for maintaining a healthy in-house environment. The light hoods will effectively reduce light infusion while allowing sufficient airflow in most operating conditions.
The "INVERTED ARCH" addresses three crucial issues: 1.Provides structural support to insure consistent airflow. 2. Absorbs sunlight BEFORE it can enter your house. 3. Assists in directing air inward.

Light Hoods are available in two (2) standard lengths with three (3) levels of Ultraviolet Protection with either a 5-year, 15-year or 40-year warranty against fading:
