Solar Lighting Systems for Stables
The remote nature of many stable blocks or field shelters can pose a challenge when it comes to
getting power for lighting. Solar power is a natural, convenient & silent solution. Solar lighting
provides security and health & safety advantages without having to run a generator set.
Over the years we have supplied many off-grid lighting systems for stables and field shelters. Most
of
these systems have been designed to provide an average of one hour of lighting per day, in each
stall. This normally covers feeding and mucking out in the winter months.
A single high efficiency Lumina 11w CFL light does a good job of lighting up a standard 12ft x 12ft
stall. Tack rooms are often a good candidate for a PIR motion sensor switch, as the hands-free
operation provides convenience, as well as keeping lighting running times to a minimum.
The Outlight 18w exterior dc CFL light is typically used for outside security & stable yard lights, again
often controlled by a PIR sensor, ensuring minimal running times.
All of the stable lighting systems we supply are low voltage and extremely safe. Current UK
regulations require the installer to be a 'competant person'. Anyone with experience in auto or
marine electrics should find it a simple job.
Alternatively, any electrical contractor will be able to install the solar lighting kit for you in minimal
time. We supply all the parts required, together with full installation instructions and a telephone
support hotline.
We also offer fully customised solar powered lighting systems designed to meet your exact
requirements - please don't hesitate to contact us with details of your project.
