介绍

在马术界,阴影不仅仅是令人烦恼的事情,更是一种安全隐患。

 

对马来说,闪烁的灯光或地面上的暗斑不仅仅是能见度差;它们看起来像是捕食者或深坑。如果你曾经感觉到你的马在转弯时无缘无故地犹豫或“受惊”,你就知道灯光对训练成败至关重要。

 

虽然普通的泛光灯可能适用于停车场,但专业的 马术竞技场灯光 是为了一个非常具体的目的而设计的:创造一个无阴影、无眩光的环境,使马匹保持平静和专注。

 

无论您是要翻新尘封已久的室内马厩,还是计划建造全新的室外跳跃场地,本指南都将带您了解所有必要信息。从最新的IESNA照明标准到如何选择合适的LED灯具以节省6%至7 %的能源费用,我们都能为您提供全面的指导。

 

我们来开灯吧。

“无阴影”为何重要:了解马的视觉

选择合适的运动照明解决方案首先,你需要了解你的马是如何看待这个世界的。你不仅仅是在照亮一片泥土;你是在为一种拥有独特视觉系统的猎物营造一个环境。

 

深度知觉的挑战

马拥有独特的双眼视觉系统。它们利用 单眼视觉 扫描周围环境,视野开阔;同时,它们依靠  正前方狭窄的双眼视觉来判断深度和距离。


马眼视觉盲点

 


这套系统使它们对对比度非常敏感。当标准泛光灯在场馆地面上形成刺眼的黑色阴影时,会干扰这种视觉处理过程。

 

“洞”效应:对于单眼视觉的马来说,黑暗、扁平的阴影通常看起来与物理上的洞或落差无法区分。

 

过渡滞后:马的眼睛需要时间来适应明亮区域和黑暗角落之间的变化。这种犹豫会打断骑乘的节奏。

 

光线不足的后果:

这种视觉上的混乱会触发马的逃跑本能,导致:

 

Ø 惊吓:突然躲避黑暗角落里的“怪物”。

犹豫 :拒绝进入阴暗领域。

Ø 跳跃拒跳:由于跳跃底部的阴影,无法准确判断地面线或起跳点。

 

“频闪灯”效果(闪烁)

你有没有在嗡嗡作响、闪烁不停的老式荧光灯下待过?这对人来说很烦人,但对马来说却是一种压力。

 

马的“临界闪烁融合率”比人类高。这意味着它们能察觉到老式金属卤化物灯泡或钠灯泡中快速闪烁的光线,而这种闪烁在我们看来却是稳定的光。这种持续的、类似频闪灯的运动会引起敏感马匹的轻微焦虑。

 

解决方案:高均匀性

现代马术竞技场照明的目标不仅仅是亮度,而是 均匀性

 

我们采用配备特殊光学元件的LED技术,旨在消除“热点”(过亮区域)和暗区。无阴影的环境能让马匹放松,稳稳地踩在地面上,全神贯注于骑手的指令。

 


马术竞技场的照明标准是什么?

“我的场馆需要多亮?”

 

这是我们最常被问到的问题。幸运的是,您不必猜测。北美照明工程学会 (IESNA) 已针对体育和休闲场所制定了专门的标准 (RP-6-20)。

 

我们以英尺烛光 (fc) 为单位测量亮度。以下是根据您使用场地方式的详细说明:

 

1. 休闲与训练(平地运动)

要求:20-30英尺烛光

 

最适合:私人马厩、寄养设施和一般平地作业。

 

目标:在这个级别,首要任务是基本安全。你需要足够的光线来清楚地观察马匹的动作并确保其站立安全,但不需要电视级别的亮度。

 

2. 俱乐部比赛及场地障碍赛(猎人赛/场地障碍赛/盛装舞步赛)

要求:40-50英尺烛光

 

最适合:专业训练设施、猎人/跳跃场地和当地比赛场地。

 

目标:速度和精准度。

 

对于跳跃马来说:高垂直照度至关重要,这样马匹在高速运动时才能清楚地看到跳跃的顶轨和地面线。

 

对于盛装舞步:较高的光照水平(高显色指数)有助于裁判和观众看清马匹肌肉和动作的轮廓。

 

3. 专业及广播

要求:70英尺烛光以上

 

最适合:地区/国家级赛事、牛仔竞技表演和电视转播比赛。

 

目标:这些级别是高清摄像机拍摄无颗粒感慢动作视频所必需的。

统一性的“3:1 规则”

亮度并非唯一的衡量标准。专业的照明设计必须遵循 3:1的均匀度比率

 

这意味着场地中最亮处的亮度不应超过最暗处的三倍。如果亮度比过高(例如,杆下是明亮的圆圈,而中间一片漆黑),马匹在明暗交替时将难以调节视力,从而造成安全隐患。

 

专业提示: 不要靠猜测。高质量的马术场地照明设备应该始终附带光度分析报告——一种计算机模拟,可以在您购买之前验证您的照明布局是否符合照度和均匀度标准。

 


室内与室外:量身定制您的照明解决方案

为封闭、尘土飞扬的马厩照明与为风吹日晒的室外场地照明需要截然不同的策略。以下是我们如何根据特定环境定制适合马匹的场地照明方案。

 

室内场馆照明:克服灰尘和眩光

室内场馆面临两大挑战:较低的安装高度和“场馆灰尘”。

 

眩光问题:在许多室内马术场馆中,灯具安装位置相对较低(16-20英尺)。如果使用标准的高强度LED灯,骑手在跳跃或盛装舞步动作中每次抬头看向灯光时都会被晃得睁不开眼。

 

解决方案:我们推荐使用 带磨砂透镜 的 线性LED高棚灯。与圆形“UFO”式灯具形成集中光斑不同,线性灯具可将光束扩散到更广阔的区域。磨砂透镜可扩散光线,确保光线柔和不刺眼,同时消除地面上的生硬阴影。

 

粉尘问题:地基添加剂和沙子会产生细小的粉尘,覆盖所有表面。如果您的固定装置没有密封,粉尘就会进入内部,损坏电子元件。

 

解决方法:务必选择 IP66 防护等级的灯具。该等级意味着灯具防尘防水。您可以放心使用高压水枪冲洗屋顶横梁和灯具,无需担心电气损坏。

户外竞技场照明:应对天气和邻里影响

对于室外赛场来说,最大的敌人是恶劣的天气——有时,还有住在隔壁的人。

 

耐候性(风雨):户外灯具必须能够承受暴雨、暴雪和大风的侵袭。我们重点关注 有效投射面积 (EPA) 评级。EPA 值低的灯具空气动力学性能更佳,在暴风雨中对灯杆的压力更小,这对于安全至关重要。

 

光线溢出控制(邻居因素):户外照明最大的抱怨是“光线侵入”——当你的场馆灯光照射到邻居的卧室时。

 

The Fix: Modern horse arena lights can be equipped with Backlight Shields or Visors. These precision optics cut off the light beam at the edge of your fence line. This technology ensures you "light the dirt, not the neighbor's house," keeping you compliant with local dark-sky ordinances.

Design & Layout: How Many Poles Do You Need?

A common mistake is buying lights first and figuring out where to put them later. This leads to dark spots and wasted money. Here are the professional rules of thumb for layout design.


The Golden Rule for Pole Height

For outdoor poles or new high-ceiling indoor builds, the ideal mounting height is 25ft to 30ft.

 

(Note: If you have an existing indoor barn with lower ceilings (16-20ft), don't worry—our linear fixtures are designed specifically to minimize glare at lower heights.)

 

Ø Too Low (<20ft): The light angle becomes too horizontal, shining directly into the rider's eyes and creating long, distracting shadows behind the horse.

 

Ø Too High (>40ft): While great for uniformity, this requires expensive bucket trucks or cranes for installation and maintenance. 25-30ft offers the perfect balance of performance and accessibility.

 

Strategic Pole Placement

Indoor Layouts: Never hang lights directly over the centerline (A-C line). If a light is directly above, it casts a shadow of the rider onto the horse, and the horse onto the ground.

 

Ø Best Practice: Install two rows of Linear High Bays spaced evenly between the centerline and the wall. This pushes light from the sides, filling in shadows.

 

Outdoor Layouts: For a standard US arena (e.g., 100' x 200' or 150' x 250'), we typically use a 4-Pole or 6-Pole system.

 

Ø 4-Pole: One pole near each corner (offset slightly). Good for recreational use.

 

Ø 6-Pole: Adds two poles at the center line. Essential for jumping and competition to ensure high uniformity across the entire course.

 

The Importance of Photometrics

Every arena is unique. Don't guess.

 

Before you buy, ask for a Photometric Plan — a 3D computer simulation tailored to your specific arena. It not only precisely calculates the required number of fixtures, their technical specifications (e.g., power, beam angle) and optical parameters, but also simulates the most cost-effective layout.

 

By identifying potential dark spots upfront and optimizing the lighting design, this plan helps you save costs while ensuring your arena’s lighting needs are fully met at the most reasonable price.


Buyer’s Cheat Sheet: Specs for Horse Arena Lights

Ready to shop? Don't get overwhelmed by technical jargon. Save this checklist to your phone. These are the non-negotiable specifications you need for a safe, commercial-grade equestrian facility.


Specification

Recommended Value

Why It Matters

Color Temperature

5000K (Daylight)

Best for alertness and contrast. It mimics high-noon sunlight, helping horses perceive depth accurately.

CRI (Color Rendering)

Ra > 80

Critical for Dressage and conformation. It shows the true sheen of the coat and muscle definition without color distortion.

IP Rating

IP66

"Washdown Ready." Completely sealed against dust and powerful water jets. Essential for barn environments.

Surge Protection

10kV SPD

Many barns are in rural areas with unstable power grids. This protects your investment from lightning strikes or grid surges.

Warranty

5 - 10 Years

Changing a light 30ft in the air is expensive. A long warranty guarantees reliability and low maintenance costs.

Voltage

120-277V or 480V

Ensure the fixture accepts a wide input voltage to handle potential fluctuations in rural electrical supply.


Commercial Benefits: ROI & Safety Upgrades

Upgrading to LED lighting for horse arena isn’t just about better visibility—it’s a strategic financial move and a critical safety upgrade for your property.

 

Slash Energy Costs by 67%
Let’s look at the math. A traditional 400W Metal Halide fixture actually draws about 455W when you account for the ballast. By replacing it with a high-efficiency 150W LED fixture, you get better light quality while consuming 67% less electricity.

 

(The same efficiency logic applies if you are replacing powerful 1000W outdoor stadium lights with our 400-600W LED Sports Lights—the savings scale with the size of the project.)

 

For a commercial barn running lights 4-5 hours a night, this translates to thousands of dollars in savings annually. The lights essentially pay for themselves in energy savings alone within 2-3 years.

 

Fire Safety: The Invisible Danger
Barns are high-risk environments filled with flammable hay, dry shavings, and dust. Old-school bulbs operate at dangerously high temperatures and can shatter, sending hot glass into bedding. LEDs run significantly cooler and are constructed from shatterproof materials. Switching to LED reduces the heat load in your rafters, drastically lowering the risk of accidental fire. It’s peace of mind you can’t put a price on.

 

Instant-On Performance
Winter riding is hard enough without waiting 15 minutes for your Metal Halide lights to warm up. LED lights are Instant-On/Instant-Off. Whether it’s a cold morning training session or a late-night emergency check, you get full brightness the second you flip the switch.

 

Conclusion

照明是您为马术场地所做的最重要的基础设施投资之一。但与拖拉机或新围栏不同,合适的照明会直接影响每一位进入马场的马匹和骑手的信心。

 

不要忍受昏暗的角落或刺眼的强光。升级到专业的马术场地照明设备是对安全、性能和您房产长期价值的投资。
