Proper lighting in agricultural barns is essential, allowing you to monitor and assess your livestock even when natural daylight is not available, and to identify potential issues in the evening before they escalate overnight. It also creates a safe and efficient environment for working with livestock and operating farm machinery, especially during the long winter months.
There are several ways to illuminate agricultural barns, but we recommend solar lighting as it offers the best combination of functionality and cost-effectiveness. Solar lighting is much more affordable than installing mains-powered lighting in barns without existing electrical connections. Additionally, solar lighting comes with the added benefit of zero running costs, resulting in substantial long-term savings.
We recommend the Solar Technology 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.
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, Lambing Sheds, Stock Housing And Other Indoor Areas
- The powerful 13000mAh lithium battery pack and 2000lumen LED cluster means that Arena2K provides 100% more illumination than its predecessor.
- Designed for outdoor use, 365 days per year, Arena2K 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, SolarArena2K can switch between motion activated (PIR) mode and timed illumination mode.
- Timed Illumination Mode – In this mode the ArenaSolarLight2K can operate for either one or two hours. A further one of two hours can be activated as needed. Brightness can be changed from 500, to 1000, 1500 or 2000 lumen as required.
