Solar Lighting

Solar is the world's fastest growing energy technology. As a tried and tested power source, it is used around the world for numerous commercial, industrial and domestic applications.

Where no grid power exists, the Solar Tech product range provides mains equivalent lighting for interior and exterior spaces. These easy-to-fit lights are designed with the latest solar technology to to give exceptional performance all year round.

A Solar panel works by transforming the energy from the sun into a reusable form of electricity, a process known as Photovoltiac (PV for short).

It would be hard to find a more environmentally friendly power supply!

Clean and green, solar power is a renewable, sustainable and non-polluting source of energy. Low maintenence and long lasting, it is a highly cost-effective and reliable energy supply.

Solar Lighting Guide

There are a lot of different options when it comes to solar lighting. Here we talk you through the different options.

Stable Solar Lighting

Easy To Use Solar Lighting For Your Stables

The Solar Technology product range is a very efficient lighting and power system designed specifically for stables, agricultural buildings, workshops, summer houses and any out buildings that have no power supply. These packs are a great solution for the equine world where mains power can be limited. Mucking out in the dark could be a thing of the past with a solar unit to provide you with the lighting you need where mains power is not an option.

Which SolarHub for you?
  • Solar Hubi 16 provides 16 m2 of lighting
  • Solar Hubi 64 provides 64m2 of lighting
  • The lithium battery pack in Solar Hubi 64 is 5 times more powerful than the Solar Hubi 16 and this enables it to power higher energy devices such as 12v TVs, laptops and computers etc. Each system is fully expandable so if you require more light you simply add an expansion pack.
  • Each system is fully expandable so if you require more light you simply add an expansion pack.
Solar Power for competitions

The SolarHub 64 will deliver up to 6 hours of lighting each night and in addition has 2 USB power outputs for charging smart phones, mobiles phones, iPads etc. It also has a 12v auto socket for running heavier duty appliances such as fans.   This unit can also be used in your horse lorry when away competing. You can again use it run a 12v TV, charge your phones and laptops and use it as a additional power/light source.



Arena Solar Lighting

Solar Lighting for Arenas

The Solar Technology Arena 2K Light is the perfect solution to illuminate your indoor or outdoor school. This all-in-one solar floodlighting solution can deliver an impressive 2000 lumens for up to four hours per 24 hours, with a 2 year warranty upon purchase. This is typically a cost effective and far cheaper option than hard wiring a lighting system for arenas.

  • The powerful 13000mAh lithium battery pack and 2000 lumen LED cluster means that the Arena2K light provides 100% more illumination than its predecessor.
  • Once in place, solar powered lighting requires little maintenence and there are no ongoing costs.
  • Designed for outdoor use, 365 days per year, the Arena 2K light can be fixed using the u bolts supplied to a standard scaffold pole, or to a wall with the expansion bolts.
  • Using the remote control, the Arena 2K can switch between motion activated (PIR) mode and timed illumination mode.
  • By adding a Solar Technology Arena 2K Supercharger Solar Panel unit outside the building, the Arena 2K can be used to light large indoor arenas and menages
What is Solar Lighting for Arenas

Solar lighting is made up of three parts: the light, the battery, and the solar cell panel. The Solar Technology lights that we stock have internal lithium batteries, which are charged by powerful solar panels on the top of the light. It can be difficult to navigate the best relationship between different light lumens, solar panel charge, and hours of illumination, but we have done the hard work for you!

Our solution for solar arena lights is the Solar Technology Arena 2K Lights. It provides the perfect amount of light for riding your horse at night in an outdoor arena. It has been designed so the light draw is appropriate for the size of solar panel to offer 6 hours constant light at night with the 1500 lumen option (longer lighting if you choose the 500 – shorter if you choose the 2000 lumen options) during the winter. With the setting on the motion sensor option, the expected run time is between 60- 120 hours.

For longer lasting illumination, up to three Supercharger Solar Panels can be added to each light, increasing the length of lighting to up to 12 hours.

How many lights will I need ?

We have listed the recommended number of lights and the most suitable set up for some common arena sizes below. These arrangements show the layout for a flatwork arena - the
additional lights required for jumping will be positioned down the long side of the arena.

For use with Indoor Schools

Solar Technology lights are charged by powerful solar panels on the top of the light. This means that where these lights are being used indoors they will need to be connected to supercharger panels outside of the building. This then generates the power from the outside of the building with the solar light wired from the solar panel unit through the building into the indoor area.

Fitting

The ArenaLight can be fixed to a standard scaffolding pole (recommended height of 4m) they can be picked up cheaply and last for years, or fixed directly to a wall. For an Arena setting, we would recommend setting the light angle to 30° as shown. We can provide a detailed explanation of how ro fit upon purchase.

Agri Solar Lighting

Solar Lighting for Yards and Agricultural Buildings

We recommend the Solar Tech Arena 2K Light as the best solution for lighting an outdoor or large indoor area. It provides solar lighting for yards, large outdoor barns, stock housing and other indoor areas that require an off-grid solution or a more economical means of providing indoor lighting.

This is typically a cost effective and far cheaper option than hard wiring a lighting system into a large agricultural area. Lights are waterproof and weather resistant, ideal for an agricultural environment.

Indoor power is generated by an optional super charger solar panel added to each solar lighting unit. This then generates the power from the outside of the building with the solar light wired from the solar panel unit through the building into the indoor area.

Adding one or more Super Charger Solar panels to the Solar Arena2K will extend the lights performance by up to six times, giving longer run time for extended use during the winter evenings.

Agri Solar Lighting

These easy to fit lighting solutions are designed to give exceptional performance all year round.

  • With the setting at the maximum of 2000 lumens, the expected run time is 4 hours 
  • With the setting at 1500 lumens, the expected run time is 6 hours 
  • With the setting at 1000 lumens, the expected run time is 8 hours 
  • With the setting at 500 lumens, the expected run time is 12 hours 
  • With the setting on the motion sensor option, the expected run time is 60-120 hours

All times quoted are from a fully charged battery. Allow 10 hours to re-charge the battery by its internal cell.

The Best Solution for Lighting Outdoor Barns, Stock Housing and other Indoor Areas

  • The powerful 13000mAh lithium battery pack and 2000 lumen LED cluster means that Arena 2K provides 100% more illumination than its predecessor.
  • Designed for outdoor use, 365 days per year, Arena 2K can be fixed using the u bolts supplied to a standard scaffold pole, or to a wall with the expansion bolts.
  • Using the remote control, Solar Arena 2K can switch between motion activated (PIR) mode and timed illumination mode.
  • Timed Illumination Mode - In this mode the Arena Solar Light 2K can operate for either one or changed from 500, to 1000, 1500 or 2000 lumen as required.

Security Solar Lighting

Using a powerful 2.5 watt solar panel and 500 lumen LED light unit ensures Secure Professional light is capable of illuminating a 100sqm area. The light head angle and direction are both adjustable, as is the PIR sensitivity and light burn time. Installed in minutes, the Secure Professional is supplied with a connection cable and wall fixings.
