Everyone knows that the best indicator of a healthy horse on the inside, is a glowing, sleek coat on the outside. Equilume’s Performance Lighting products mimic a long summer’s day, stimulating seasonal hormones, including prolactin, that allow your horse to produce a shiny summer coat.

The biologically effective light delivered by our smart Stable Lights and mobile Light Masks ensures that melatonin levels are sufficiently suppressed so as to maintain a slick summer coat into the winter months, while also optimizing the horse’s muscle response to exercise.

Application Guide

Winter: After 8 weeks of extended photoperiod (16 hours of light, 8 hours of darkness) the coat will shed early, to a summer short coat

Summer: In order to prolong the summer coat, day length must be maintained at 16 hours of light and 8 hours of darkness, from the summer solstice onwards. Light should be fitted prior to July 21st (Northern Hemisphere ) and January 21st (Southern Hemisphere) in order for the summer coat to be maintained.

It is recommended that every horse have at least a 6-8 week break from artificial lighting. This is necessary to reset the horse’s internal annual hair shedding clock. Fastest results are achieved when horses are blanketed and kept warm.
