Equestrian Lighting Kit 18W

Equestrian Lighting Kit 18W is ideal for illuminating the stable, yard, tack room, field shelter or lock-up store in livery situations.

Plus ........ many other equestrian applications in locations where mains quality lighting is required but no mains power supply exists.

Imagine the luxury of all the light that you need when you have to feed, muck out and rug up every morning and evening during the cold, dark months of winter.

The 18W kit enables you to use your lighting for 80% longer than the 10W Kit. You can easily run an 11W CFL light or even a 15W CFL light for up to 52 minutes a day during December and still not run your battery flat.

The high performance 18W solar panel generates energy during daylight hours and stores it in a 12V car or caravan battery for use during the hours of darkness.

Equestrian Lighting Kit 18W comes with a pre-connected wiring harness so can easily and safely be installed by anyone in about 1 ½ hours " no special tools required " following the comprehensive fitting instructions provided. We fit the connectors, crocodile clips, fuses and all the connector terminals in our factory so that installation is very straightforward for you. Then, it is simply a question of preparing the cables and inserting the ends into the connector blocks.

The basic Equestrian Lighting Kit 18W is supplied with 4 x plastic brackets & nylon ties for fixing the solar panel to the mounting surface.

A better (but more expensive) option is to specify the Equestrian Lighting Kit 18W complete with Wall Bracket for 18W solar panel (Fixed 36° and adjustable 45°) as standard. The Wall Bracket is shown below as an accessory. A pole mounting accessory is also available - see below.

If you move to another stables, you can take your Equestrian Lighting Kit 18W with you as it isn’t permanently wired to a mains supply.

Equestrian Lighting Kit 18W is designed for safety and practicality. The lamp is enclosed in a tough, bulkhead luminaire to prevent any possibility of broken glass from the lamp if your horse rears up. The rugged light switch is designed to withstand the tough stable environment. Both luminaire and light switch are weatherproof to IP54 rating and can be used outside if required.

The length of time that you can use the light each day without running the battery flat depends upon the solar energy available. There is much less energy available in the winter when you most need the lighting. December has least solar radiation so is the critical month. Please refer to the table below to see how long you can use the light for each month (on average) without running the battery flat.

A brighter light can only be used for a shorter time. However, the 18W Kit will enable you to use your 9W CF lamp for 1.4 hours a day during the month of December and, longer for other winter months.

The Equestrian Lighting Kit Basic 18W has a 10 year warranty and will easily pay back its investment many times over.

Required but NOT supplied:
