What are LED Horse Arena Lights?

LED Horse arena lights are powerful LED fixtures designed to provide bright and balanced lighting across the entire indoor or outdoor space.

• Indoors, we use UFO LED lights or linear high bays mounted from the ceiling.
• Outdoors, we typically recommend powerful flood/sports field lighting that is perimeter pole mounted.

For years, both have been designed to provide bright, trouble-free lighting. Even our indoor horse arena fixtures are designed to be protected from wind and rain if you have a covered but open horse arena.

We have lit hundreds of horse arenas, outdoor and indoor riding arenas, and rodeo arenas across the country. We can develop a lighting plan for you that shows how well our lights will perform in your arena. Then, we will provide you with the sales support you need to get the right lights ordered for your projects.

What are the Benefits of LED Horse Arena Lights or Roping Arena Lights?

• Bright balanced lighting: They provide a safer riding experience eliminating as many shadows as possible. The key metric is "light balance". Better balance means fewer shadows.
• Energy Savings: Reduce lighting bills by 50% or more versus metal halide
• Instant on: Lights are at full brightness immediately.
• Wet weather protection: Our lights, even the indoor lights (UFOS) are wet weather protected.
• Less maintenance: These will last years and years without bulb and ballast replacements.
