research shows that having your lights on during the day for 16 hours a day increases milk production.

Optimize milkproduction thru 16 hours light above 150 lux and 8 hours beneath 150 lux or dark.

Dry cows is the opposite 8 hours light 16 hours dark.

everything beneath 150 lux is dark or evening for a cow. good luck
