HorseLight horse stable lights

HorseLight is an advanced blue light therapy easily obtained through a unique lighting system designed specifically for stables within the horse industry. The lighting fixtures are durable, highly robust, and can even be cleaned with a high-pressure sprayer, recognizing the dusty and dirty environment stables can become!

There are options available for all horse owners, regardless of the size of their facilities. Whether you have one horse or manage a training stable with 100 horses, the installation process is straightforward. Additionally, it helps reduce energy bills and decrease your ecological footprint. All lamps come with a hassle-free 5-year warranty and an expected lifespan of over 50,000 hours - that's up to 3125 days, or 8.5 years of reliability based on average daily usage of 16 hours.

We also conduct on-site visits to provide quotes for installations in larger stables, offering schematic lighting designs for architects working on new developments, and replacing many of the old/defective or required lighting fixtures.

HorseLight is trusted by owners and trainers in various disciplines. The technology has been scientifically proven to enhance the performance, health, and well-being of horses by emitting a highly specific spectrum of blue light.

HorseLight stable lighting delivers a specific spectrum of light that accurately mimics natural daylight in the summer. Combined with the HorseLight controller, horses in stables can benefit from natural daylight conditions, including the seasonal lengthening and shortening of daylight periods, optimizing their health, well-being, performance, and breeding capabilities.

The Mystery of Melatonin
Melatonin is the sleep hormone secreted by the pineal gland in the brain, regulated by the type and intensity of light entering the eye. During darkness or low light levels, melatonin production is 'enabled,' promoting sleep and activating the body's rest, recovery, and repair system. When the eye receives the right spectrum and intensity of light, such as bright daylight, melatonin production is 'disabled,' and serotonin is released, enhancing alertness and optimizing biological performance. Increased serotonin allows the horse's body to function better, promoting an improved mood.

For those familiar with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), it's known that symptoms of this condition in humans include difficulties with concentration, reduced productivity, fatigue, feelings of depression or sadness, irritability, listlessness, and withdrawal from social activities. Independent studies have shown that horses do indeed suffer from SAD and are just as susceptible to the decrease in daylight as humans. This daily cycle of darkness and light is known as the circadian rhythm (biological clock) and affects many biological activities and seasonal cycles in the body. Regulating melatonin offers significant benefits from this therapy.

It is the blue spectrum light in natural daylight that inhibits melatonin production and promotes optimal biological performance.

With its unique blend of blue and white LED chips, HorseLight provides the right light spectrum to suppress melatonin production, just like natural daylight.

They provide very little blue spectrum light and do not sufficiently impact melatonin production to achieve the performance and other benefits that HorseLight offers.

It is widely accepted, both in humans and animals, that melatonin production is inhibited by blue light in the 465 NM spectrum and requires 120 lux light intensity.

Today, many sport and recreational horses are kept in stables throughout the year for various reasons. Depending on the stable environment, many horses are exposed to daylight levels that are too low to completely suppress melatonin production, even in the summer. This disrupts the natural circadian rhythm and can lead to suboptimal performance for horses in the stable. By programming the HorseLight system to automatically turn on at fixed times in the morning, the light levels in each individual stable are ensured to be sufficient to suppress melatonin release throughout the entire day (or photoperiod).

Unlike standard LED, fluorescent, and other types of lighting, the HorseLight system is specifically designed to deliver the right type and intensity of light to mimic summer daylight conditions. HorseLight fixtures, resembling standard fluorescent tubes, provide these light levels in all corners of the stable or barn. The HorseLight timer/control unit regulates the 'on' time or photoperiod, ensuring the right combination of light and darkness to facilitate the natural circadian rhythm and optimize biological performance.

Our HorseLight lighting systems take it a step further by incorporating red observation light, which is an essential feature for horse stables. Our HorseLight Advanced system provides this red observation light at night, allowing you to easily conduct observations without needing to use the white lights. This is especially convenient during feeding, performing final night checks, or when returning home late at night. The red light doesn't suppress melatonin production, ensuring horses' natural sleep cycles remain undisturbed during the dark period.
