PhysLite Original Series
Chicken King’s
Poultry Talk
A bright aisle can hide dark feeders.
Hosted by Chicken King Alfie, we come down to bird height, measure the light where birds actually feed and drink, and compare fixture layouts with the same meter grid. Made for the person who walks the house and has to decide what to fix first.

What EP000 covers
Four checks you can take back to the house
One idea runs through the whole channel: measure where the bird is, not where you stand.
Look under the rail
From standing height you see the top of the rail. From bird height, that rail can cut a shadow across the feeding line — especially on the lower tier.
The lowest number matters
A row of lux readings works like six cups under a sprinkler. The average tells you how the row looks; the lowest reading tells you where to walk back and look again.
Compare like with like
Spaced bulbs, tubes and a chain of light points. Lock the camera exposure and take readings at the same spots before drawing a conclusion.
Check the power math
EP000 example: 50 × 9 W = 450 W bulbs, 90 × 6 W = 540 W tubes, 90 × 3 W = 270 W chain nodes. Equal run time, fixture loads only.
The short cut
EP000 in one minute
The same farm check in a 9:16 vertical edit — the hook, the bird-height view, the six-point meter grid and one question to take back to your own house. Made for short-form platforms.

Check the Dark Spots
Meet Alfie. A channel introduction that starts at bird height, shows how to find dim spots on a feeder row, compares three fixture layouts and walks through the power math.

Bulbs, tubes and LED chains compared on the same bird-height measurement grid, then the weakest points checked before changing a layout or comparing power costs.

About the channel
Who is behind the crown
A practical video channel about light in poultry houses — built for the people who have to make the call on the floor.
Chicken King Alfie, your host
Alfie is the Chicken King — a calm, seasoned host who would rather walk the row than guess from the doorway. In each episode he starts with the problem a farm team can actually see, explains the principle in plain language, then shows the check, the reading and the comparison.
The format is always the same: pain point → principle → solution → measured check. Cameras are locked, meter positions are recorded, and any number shown on screen is labelled as an example or a measured value.
Made for teams raising:

Where would you put the meter first in your house?
Alfie asks it at the end of every episode. If you have already checked, share your lowest lux reading and where you found it — that is the number that tells you where to walk back and look again.
