What are the factors that affect the cost of a horse arena?

1.The size of a horse arena

The larger the racetrack, the higher the lumen output required, the more expensive the lighting.However, the advantages of LED lights make running costs far lower than conventional lamps.

2.The level of competition

You need to know what kind of competition your horse arena used for. Illumination and light uniformity need to be determined. Differences in lighting requirements will also determine the outcome of the best recommended lighting level.

3.Illuminance and illuminance uniformity standards

Standards of lux and illuminance uniformity lay the foundation for horse movement. Horse arena lighting is as important to the rider as it is to the horse. Since many horse events are for spectators, spectators and television cameras must also have adequate light levels.

4.The height of light pole

When we talk about light pole height, we usually mean outdoor horse arena light pole. Light pole height depends on the overall size of the horse arena. Determine how many lumens are required to determine the pole height required to provide light uniformity.

5.Layout of light poles

It is also important to install the right number of light poles for the outdoor racecourse.  Usually 4 light poles are placed in the corner area. The bigger the outdoor horse arena, the higher the light pole may be. Smaller sites use shorter light poles, and adjustments for light loss are added, so light uniformity is not affected.

6.Ceiling height   

Since we are talking about indoor facilities at the racecourse, we must consider that higher ceilings mean more light loss. The addition of light for horse activities needs to be adjusted for the increased difference in ceiling height. These lights include projected beam angles that require shorter and smaller beam angles that do not waste light spreading downward.

7.Use LED light sources

LED have a high initial cost but a long service life.  Metal halides or HPS are indeed cheaper, but these lamps don’t last long. Another disadvantage of MH and HPS is the high cost of operation. The filament doesn’t last very long and burns faster. This extra cost is also accompanied by their use of too many watts. Because of the running costs of these traditional lights, many racecourse owners prefer to use cost-saving LED lighting. This is an energy saving racecourse lighting that lasts 120,000 hours or more.

8.The difference between inside and outside   

Outside, it is difficult to control the effects of weather. Therefore, because of this, outdoor lamps require special components, such as lighting protection of elements.  As a result, the cost of lighting will be higher than that of lighting in the interior, where outdoor fixtures must be resistant to rain, humidity and varying levels of water exposure.

How much are the lights for the horse arena?

1.Used for entertainment

For entertainment, 200 lux is enough. Lumens required can be estimated based on site and illumination requirements.  Then calculate the total power of the lamp according to lumens. So we know what the running costs are.  

2.Top level competition

(1)Dressage

Dressage lighting requires a lux rating of 500 lux. Because horses and riders need enough light to navigate these obstacles. Different equestrian events will follow the lighting specifications for these equestrian show lighting levels.

(2)Perform jumps

This type of performance requires a higher level of lighting, suitable for 700 lux.  The total cost of running 86,000 lumens is in the $332- $878 cost range.  

3.TV Equestrian Events

For all televised events, the illumination standard is around 1000 lux. This allows viewers and TV cameras to get the highest resolution images. These illuminance levels are very high and are adjusted according to CRI. So that the light does not overexpose the horse and rider.  

Operating costs of LED horse arena lighting

Now, previous estimates of the wattage used did not tell you how the wattage was used.  Here’s some further useful information.  A typical racecourse is 80′ x 200′ in size, with a total of 16,000 square feet (24 x 60 meters).  Further defined as 1500 square meters.  Lumens required for this arena :200 Lux x 1500 sq.  Meters x 1.2 equals 360,000 lumens.  As for power consumption, we divide 360,000 by 240 to get 2200 watts.  

If you use halogens, the watts are 10 times higher!  So the total running cost is 2400 watts x 6 hours a day x $0.10.  That works out to $1.44 a day, $43.20 a month, or $518 a year.  Clearly, LED lighting offers significant cost savings.  

Installation cost of horse arena lighting

If the total area of a racetrack is 1500 square meters, the minimum lighting cost of 2400 watts multiplied by $0.50 multiplied by $1 equals $430. This only applies when installed with LED lights. If the electrician also follows we can provide lighting analysis. Then complete the adjustment to help you further.

How to save money on horse arena lighting costs  

1.Use LED lighting system

Installation of LED lighting requires consideration of higher initial costs. LED lighting is constructed in a way that maximizes the duration of the light. In the long run, this means you can reduce maintenance and running costs. This continued cost savings compared to other conventional lamps can be seen year after year.

2.A good lighting design

The whole idea of LED lamp design is to optimize the wattage used.  It is easy to see less light overflow and clearly observe better control of light loss.  We were able to plan the lighting based on the size and square feet of the arena.  Position the lights to provide the highest degree of light uniformity required.  

3.Light pole height

Small horse farms do not need tall light poles to provide proper lighting.  While this helps reduce the loss of light, it reduces the uniformity of light.  Based on the lighting analysis provided, we can share solutions to reduce this problem by adding side lights to your advantage.
