Horse Arena Lighting
Outdoor Arena Lighting Custom Design Questionnaire
So you have a horse arena and want some nighttime lighting? Well, it’s not as easy as you think to have good horse arena lighting. Some horse arenas simply need a few floodlights to illuminate the area and others require careful consideration to achieve good quality results.
Simple horse arenas may simply have an old barn light mounted on a pole to provide security lighting. For years, this was a perfectly acceptable form of area lighting, particularly in rural areas where glare is not a factor. These lighting fixtures were inexpensive to buy, easy to install and efficient to operate. However, these general area lights do not have internal reflectors and much of the light is wasted into thin air. Residential Landscape Lighting & Design have bolt on directional horse area kits designed to mount to any wooden pole. These directional floodlights with internal reflectors force the light in a specific direction therefore preventing waste, improving efficiency and eliminating glare.
More complex equestrian facilities may want a more professional approach to arena lighting with higher light levels. This might be for recreational riding at night or perhaps for competitions such as barrel racing or rodeo events. For this type of riding facilities, uniformity of light and shadows play an important role to the safety and wellbeing of the riders. For these types of applications larger wooden poles or commercial grade steel poles in heights ranging from 20’ to 40’ may be required to illuminate larger areas.
