Barn & Arena Lighting

More About Horse Barn Lighting

Whether you’re building a new equine facility or updating your existing structure, PROLIGHTING has everything you need to keep your riding arena, stable or barn, safe and brightly lit. We know that owning horses is a big investment, and we want to help you protect that with the proper lighting. A dimly lit riding arena or stable can be dangerous for the horse and rider, and poses serious safety concerns from the lack of visibility. When it comes to horse stables and riding arenas, there are many lighting options available that can meet the unique needs of these applications. At PROLIGHTING, we’ve hand-picked an assortment of equine-friendly fixtures that are durable, dependable, and practically maintenance-free.

LED lighting is our preferred choice for equine lighting. We have extensive experience lighting equine settings with powerful outdoor LED fixtures and understand that while there may be a larger initial cost, your return on investment will significantly outweigh it. LEDs are energy efficient and last an unbelievably long time, saving you money on your utility bill and on re-lamping and maintenance costs. Even indoor equine spaces can be rough on lighting - typically packed with dust, cobwebs, and moisture. Our LED fixtures are high quality and rugged, designed to withstand harsh weather conditions and wash-downs, and offer dependable performance for years. Horses can be seriously injured if a traditional bulb were to burst or shatter. LED fixtures have a durable polycarbonate lens, and often protective metal cages, to avoid those dangerous scenarios.

For outdoor arenas, our selection of equine-friendly lighting will allow you to increase riding time all year round. Quality light at a 4000K or 5000K color temperature will brighten the area to its full potential. For indoor stables and stalls, the higher CRI (color rendering index) of LEDs will provide the right rendering to show the horse’s color, making it easier to spot potential health concerns. Providing the most natural looking light may not seem that important, but it’s another one of the many factors that goes into lighting a well-maintained equine facility. LEDs also perform better in these types of settings because they operate at a much lower temperature than traditional bulbs. Added heat is not only a serious safety risk in areas like barns and stables, it can also cause discomfort to horses. Considering horses will spend the majority of their time there, you can see why a well-lit facility is so crucial.

Our LED high bays come in a variety of lamp configurations and designs, and are a standard for modern indoor arenas. High bay fixtures will evenly distribute light, and eliminate dark spots and shadows that can cause horses to spook. Browse our selection of LED linear, round, and tube high bays. For areas of your barn exposed to dust and moisture, our reliable LED vaporproof fixtures will have you covered. Vaporproof fixtures are perfect for lighting stalls, aisles, tack rooms and grooming areas. They are fully sealed and gasketed to lock out moisture, dust and debris to increase safety and the lifespan of the light. For extending ride time after dark, choose from our line of best-selling LED floodlights - ideal for illuminating outdoor arenas. Not only are they super-efficient, they’ll withstand the roughest environments. Not sure how many lights you need?
