Lighting for riding sports

For equestrian sports, the standard ‘Light and lighting – Sports facility lighting’ (DIN EN 12193) specifies requirements for lighting. A distinction is made between different lighting classes.

You can find the entire LED lighting range here

Competition level	Lighting classes I	Lighting classes II	Lighting classes III
International/national	X
Regional	X	X
Local	X	X	X
Training		X	X
School/leisure sports			X

Please note the following legend to understand the table below:
Emin = minimum illuminance
Eav = average illuminance
lx = Lux

Outdoors
Artificial lighting is always needed outdoors when there is insufficient natural light. Light pollution should be kept as low as possible according to the Federal Pollution Control Act. Separate switching of individual lights or lighting groups is recommended to adapt lighting to the actual need.

Lighting classes	horizontal illuminance Eav Ix	horizontal illuminance Emin / Eav
I	500	0,7
II	200	0,5
III	100	0,5

Interior
Natural light is lower in a riding arena than outdoors, which is why a higher light level is necessary and sometimes required. Here, too, there is the option of switching each light individually or to link them into switching groups.

Lighting classes	horizontal illuminance Eav Ix	horizontal illuminance Emin / Eav
I	500	0,7
II	300	0,6
III	200	0,5
