SOLAYE Lighting System

Getting Started

Included in the Box:

  • SOLAYE “Sunsync” Controller (Pat. Pending) w/ Converter Box
  • (1) 5 M COB LED Light Strip
  • (2) 1” Screws

Before You Start: If your chickens have free access to both the hen house and the entire chicken run before sunrise, the SOLAYE Lighting System will require lighting for both areas. However, if they do not have access to the chicken run before sunrise, lighting the hen house will be enough. You can choose to buy extra SOLAYE LED Light Strips if necessary.

Test the Strip: Before permanently installing the LED Strip, test it by connecting the power supply to a power outlet and press the light up power switch once on the “Sunsync” Controller Box. Make sure the lights illuminate correctly and there are no defects. Once verified that lights illuminate, press same button once more and lights will turn off. LED ring should be illuminated, meaning the system is in learning mode.
