Depending on the branch of sport and the level, usage and desire is light level determined. After all, each equestrian business is self-contained and has different characteristics. It is therefore very important that lighting contributes to a company's image. In addition, lighting should match the use of the site, after all, a venue where only training/lessons take place may be lit differently from a venue where people ride races.
Knowledge and experience within the equestrian sport are important for drawing up a good lighting plan. Shadows and unevenly distributed lighting (light drops/sewers) should be avoided. Such situations cause distress to horses and are not pleasant for riders and staff. Also, lighting in the stables is important to maintain an overview and improve animal welfare.
Rofianda has extensive knowledge and experience within the equestrian industry, is premium partner of the FNRS, strategic partner of the National Equestrian Centre and has conducted several studies on The influence of lighting on horses. Thanks to our knowledge and experience, we know better than anyone else which points of interest are important for your accommodation.
Luminaires used must be absolutely non-glare to avoid startle reactions and discomfort of horse and rider. In addition, a wide beam angle desired so that the light is distributed evenly and shadows are minimised. It is also important that luminaires are suitable for the stable and riding hall, which means that luminaires must be both dust- and water/moisture-proof.
Except dust- and waterproof and with a wide beam angle Rofianda's luminaires are non-glare, so they are not annoying to horse, rider or employee.
If desired luminaires can be made dimmable, making for a suitable light level for every use can be set. Should the desire/need arise to also emergency lighting this can also be provided for. It is possible to use a luminaire in which capacities can be adjusted. This allows the same luminaire to be used throughout the company, maintaining a uniform appearance.
