Battery powered arena lighting

[AdorableAlice]

Any recommendations please. I have had a google but not convinced I know what I am looking for and what wattage is required. (20 x 40)

Use would be occasional on private yard, no jumping, just a leg stretch lunge or simple flat work, horses very sensible and currently doing any evening work with a car running and headlights on. They cope easily but I don't !
Thanks.

Not battery powered but www.clippersharp.com advertise solar powered ones in H&H and they give good lighting time even from an overcast day.

^^^^ I also think that the clippersharp lights look awesome.

look as though they might do the trick....

I have a 'night searcher' rechargeable floodlight (think that's what it's called) and absolutely love it- I clamp it onto a tall pole (ladder required) and it lasts ages on one charge. They are very bright, I can't tell the difference between them and normal mains powered floodlights, but they do have a full and half power option, so you can have them dimmer and last longer, or brighter for a shorter time (they still last hours on the brightest). I currently only use 1 light (about 20x30 area, flatwork only) but am saving up for more- I think 4 for a 20x40 would be ideal. I have been there with the car headlights as arena lights, and these are much better!

Turnbuckle you are a genius, 8 up - one on each marker 40 x 20 and absolutely perfect. Thank you.

Wow, that’s a great cheap solution. Feeling tempted too now!

The Screwfix ones are a little more expensive but more than twice the wattage and twice the brightness (1400 lumens opposed to 700) I have one to supplement the weedy arena light (yes, singular) we have and I think 4 would probably do an arena - definitely 6. They're full price at the moment but they frequently have them on 'special buy' about £10 cheaper if you can wait for that to happen.

OP how high have you rigged these up? I'm assuming they need to be easy to get to for re charge?

I have those, I wouldn't say they would be good enough, they are very small but you can get a bigger version or a double version which may be better such a the ones annagain has linked to

12 foot with a pole on school fencing, we just take them down after use and store in the dry. There is ample light for flatwork and lunging, but not to jump which doesn't matter for me.
