Equestrian Lighting We Offer
At Vivid Energy Electrical, we specialise in designing and installing custom lighting for a variety of equestrian spaces. Whether it’s a new indoor arena or upgrading the lights at your existing horse arena, our team provides tailored solutions that meet your exact needs.
Indoor Arena Lighting
Creating the perfect lighting for an indoor horse arena requires careful consideration. Mercury vapour lamps and LED lighting are often used to balance energy efficiency with high-quality light.
Our lighting installations are designed to evenly illuminate the entire arena, eliminating shadows that could distract or spook your horse. With adjustable lux levels and energy-efficient solutions, we ensure that your indoor arenas are safe, practical, and cost-effective.
Outdoor Arena Lighting
Lighting outdoor arenas presents unique challenges, particularly in open spaces. Wind, weather, and the natural environment can all impact the effectiveness of lighting. That’s why we offer programmable motion activation and wire guards to protect the fixtures from environmental damage while providing the brightest and most consistent lighting.
Our lighting systems for outdoor horse arenas are designed with energy efficiency in mind, offering long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance. Plus, LED horse arena lights ensure the lighting remains consistent even as daylight fades.
Stable and Facility Lighting
Beyond the arenas, we also provide lighting solutions for other areas of your equestrian facility, including stables, walkways, and paddocks. These spaces require efficient, easy-to-maintain lighting that ensures clear paths for horses, riders, and staff, especially during early morning or late-night hours.
Our easy-install solutions, paired with high-quality lamps and filaments, offer reliability and durability.

Why Effective Lighting is Crucial for Equestrian Facilities
Proper equestrian lighting is essential for creating a safe, consistent, and high-performance environment in indoor and outdoor horse arenas. The right lighting system ensures visibility, safety, and optimal performance for horses and riders. Here’s why effective lighting is so important:
✔ Vision and Safety
Horses depend on their vision, especially in low-light conditions. Proper illumination in horse arenas ensures horses can see clearly, minimising the risk of accidents caused by tripping or misjudging obstacles.
LED lighting or mercury vapour lamps can provide even light, eliminating harsh shadows and overexposure. This is particularly important for indoor arenas, where inconsistent lighting can be dangerous for horses and riders.
✔ Consistency
Consistent lux levels throughout the arena are crucial for maintaining a predictable environment, regardless of the time of day or weather.
With the right lighting system, such as LED horse arena lights, riders and horses can train and compete in a stable, comfortable setting. This reduces distractions from shifting lighting levels or changing natural light conditions, which helps the horse perform better.
✔ Performance
Well-lit arenas allow riders to observe their horse’s movements clearly, improving their ability to adjust techniques and provide effective cues.
Highbay fixtures and properly placed light poles ensure uniform lighting, eliminating shadows that could distract or stress the horse. This leads to better training and improved performance during equestrian events.
✔ Mood and Behavior
Horses are sensitive to lighting, and inconsistent or harsh lighting can lead to behavioural issues like anxiety or restlessness. Well-designed lighting systems create a calm, comfortable environment that promotes a horse’s well-being.
Using LED lights helps reduce flickering and shadows, ensuring horses feel at ease during training sessions, which improves focus and behaviour.
✔ Pupil Response
Horses’ unique pupil shape makes them particularly sensitive to sudden changes in light intensity. Maintaining consistent lighting, whether through LED or high bay fixtures, reduces stress and helps horses stay focused.
Sudden shifts in light levels across the arena can cause discomfort, so even lighting helps avoid distractions and tension during training.
Equestrian Lighting That is Energy-Efficient & Reliable
Whether or not you’re upgrading the lighting for an existing arena or building a brand new space, ensuring your arena has adequate lighting is vital for performance and the health and safety of those using the arena. High-quality fixtures and lighting tailored to your budget and level of riding are key pillars of any well-considered arena build or renovation. When done right, your lighting installation will shine bright for many years to come, providing effective lighting that is free from maintenance or high energy bills.
Vivid Energy Electrical Solutions provides you with the most comprehensive service in this space within Victoria and can provide professional lighting solutions for any equestrian lighting work for your next project.
