A Highly-durable Lighting System Backed by a 5-year Guarantee

SUNBIRD’s lighting system comprises of four primary components, the luminaire, the driver, the dimmer and the repeater. A single dimmer controls an unlimited number of lights through the repeaters. The industrial grade drivers convert the incoming 220~305VAC to the systems 48VDC operating voltage. Repeaters and drivers are factory fitted into SUNBIRD® enclosures ready for plug and play installation on site. The complete system is designed and manufactured at our factory in South Africa to ensure perfect control with maximum lifespan.

Durable Luminaires
Our luminaires are cast in a highly-durable composite resin which gives the unit an IP69K ingress rating.
+
SUNBIRD® lights also include oversized heatsinks that ensure cooler operation resulting in lifespans greater than 100,000 hours. Lights either attach to a round Junction Box or directly to an illumination cable with the optional easy clip bracket option. SUNBIRD® lights are also backed by a 5-year guarantee.
Industrial Grade Drivers
Lights are 48VDC and powered by an external incoming 220~305VAC LED driver.
+
While typical LED bulbs or tubes use a built-in driver, the SUNBIRD® system uses an external, industrial grade driver which powers multiple lights on a circuit. This design allows for power factor correction and superior protection from under/over voltage and short circuits.
Precise Dimming Functionality
The SUNBIRD® dimmer offers true 0-100% dimming in 3 modes.
+
The Manual, Dusk to Dawn or 0-10V mode and the selected dimming percentage is displayed on the Oled screen. Dimmers and repeaters include built-in electrostatic discharge & voltage spike protection for power inputs and outputs. A single dimmer controls an unlimited number of SUNBIRD® lights.
Fast and Reliable Installation
The SUNBIRD® Quick Connect system allows for the fastest and most reliable installation available.

Best I have seen
“Fantastic lighting Philip, very pleased with the system, we can now actually see the bits we missed when washing! It is like daylight on a good clear day in here. My birds are doing very well. The whiter light seems to have encouraged them to go out more as they seem used to the brightness. I am also having more uniform bird size.”

The System

SUNBIRD’s lighting system comprises of four primary components, the luminaire, the driver, the dimmer and the repeater. A single dimmer controls an unlimited number of lights through the repeaters. The industrial grade drivers convert the incoming 220/277VAC to the systems 48VDC operating voltage. Repeaters and drivers are factory fitted into SUNBIRD® enclosures ready for plug and play installation on site. The complete system is designed and manufactured at our factory in South Africa to ensure perfect control with maximum lifespan.

Durable Luminaires

Our luminaires are cast in a highly-durable composite resin which gives the unit an IP69K ingress rating, making it both chemical resistant and waterproof. SUNBIRD® lights also include oversized heatsinks that ensure cooler operation resulting in lifespans greater than 100,000 hours. Lights either attach to a round Junction Box or directly to an illumination cable with the optional easy clip bracket option. SUNBIRD® lights are also backed by a 5-year guarantee.

Industrial Grade Drivers

Lights are 48VDC and powered by an external 220/277VAC LED driver. While typical LED bulbs or tubes use a built-in driver, the SUNBIRD® system uses an external, industrial grade driver which powers multiple lights on a circuit. This design allows for power factor correction and superior protection from under/over voltage and short circuits.

Precise Dimming Functionality

The SUNBIRD® dimmer offers true and linear 0-100% dimming in 3 modes. The Manual, Dusk to Dawn or 0-10V mode and the selected dimming percentage is displayed on the Oled screen. Dimmers and repeaters include built-in electrostatic discharge & voltage spike protection for power inputs and outputs. A single dimmer controls an unlimited number of SUNBIRD® lights.

Features and Benefits

Long-lasting

SUNBIRD® LED units are developed with a larger heatsink to ensure a lifespan of over 100 000 hours.

5-Year Guarantee

Receive a 5-year quality guarantee on each lighting system to give you complete peace of mind.

Smooth Dimming Capability

Our 3-in-1 single device dimming includes an OLED screen that displays mode and percentage ratings. Dimmers allows seamless dusk to dawn and 0-10V control for environments. Dimming can be controlled between 0% and 100%. Dimmers and repeaters also include built-in electrostatic discharge & voltage spike protection for power inputs and outputs.

Easy Installation

The SUNBIRD® Quick Connect system offers the fastest and most cost-effective means of installation available. Install your support wires, attach the Sunbird illumination cable using cable ties or hog rings and then crimp the lights on. No more conduit, junction boxes or connector blocks.
