Healthy routines go together
Year-round care.
With your hens in mind.
Morning light can support laying when days grow shorter. It works alongside good nutrition, fresh water, a comfortable coop and time to rest.
SunSync follows local daylight, while a gradual sunrise eases your flock into the day and leaves natural sunset intact.

The Solaye 2.0 light
A closer look at the light.
Explore the supplied spectral profile, light specifications and the science behind a thoughtful morning routine.
Read the specifications and sources
The product-team specifications are 2700 K warm white, CRI Ra >92, R9 >80 and a continuous COB light with silicone diffuser. The graphic reproduces the spectral power and color consistency charts supplied in the product-team presentation. CRI and R9 describe color rendering, not egg quality or UVB output.
Wattage describes electrical power use; a spectrum describes the wavelengths emitted. Morning supplemental lighting leaves natural sunset intact so hens can settle onto their roosts. Mounting height, partitions and layout affect light distribution.

Small coop.
Thoughtful light placement.
Place light where your flock needs it before sunrise. Coop layout, partitions and mounting height all affect how light reaches your hens.
Spread the light.
The continuous light line and diffuser soften individual point sources. Choose an unobstructed location according to the installation guide.
Keep evenings natural.
Supplemental light comes in the morning, preserving the natural sunset your hens use to settle onto their roosts.
Give the sensor daylight.
Position the controller’s sensor as instructed so SunSync can follow changes in local daylight.
One controller.
Room for your flock to grow.
Start with one light or connect up to five. Each 0.5-meter line covers up to 150 sq. ft. unobstructed. The controller lead is 3 meters; connecting cables between lights are 3 feet.

Talk to Coop Collective ↗When will my preorder ship?
The new Solaye 2.0 model is expected to ship November 24, 2026. This is an estimated shipping date, not a delivery date. Preorder pricing starts at $59.96 after 25% off the $79.95 one-light system. A single controller supports up to five lights. Each extra light adds $20 MSRP before the 25% discount is applied to the total purchase. Prices are rounded to the nearest cent.
What’s in the new model?
A 24 V DC lighting system with a SunSync ambient-light controller, your choice of 1–5 continuous 0.5-meter, 2700 K COB light lines with silicone diffusers, each covering up to 150 sq. ft. unobstructed, CRI Ra >92, R9 >80 and a gentle 35-minute sunrise. It adjusts automatically while preserving natural sunset.
Do I need to program a timer?
No. SunSync responds to natural daylight and makes automatic daily adjustments to the morning lighting schedule. There are no daily, weekly or monthly timer resets. Follow the installation instructions for correct sensor positioning.
Why do daily adjustments matter?
Daylight shifts gradually. Small daily changes let the lighting schedule follow that pattern instead of making a larger jump once a week or month. Solaye 2.0 also brings the light up gradually over 35 minutes.
Will the lights stay on all night?
No. The system adds supplemental light in the morning. It is designed to preserve natural sunset and a nighttime rest period.
Will my hens lay more eggs?
Supplemental light can support a consistent laying routine during shorter days, but results vary. Lighting is one part of flock care; breed, age, molting, nutrition and overall health also affect laying.
Does the light provide UVB or vitamin D?
UVB output has not been demonstrated in the supplied spectrum data. Solaye 2.0 is not a substitute for balanced poultry nutrition or appropriate outdoor sunlight access.
Why is the light warm white?
Solaye 2.0’s selected 2700 K COB LED has a broad visible spectrum with orange and red coverage. Its high CRI Ra and R9 specifications describe how well it renders colors, including saturated reds.
Why add light before sunrise?
Morning supplementation leaves natural sunset intact so hens can settle onto their roosts before dark. Solaye 2.0 gradually raises brightness rather than switching straight to full output.
Is this a heat lamp?
No. Solaye 2.0 is an LED lighting system, not a heating product or a replacement for appropriate brooder heat.
