We have a 20x40m arena, which has one floodlight - but unfortunately it's very dim and only vaguely lights up about a quarter of the school so not very good on its own!

I've just started a full time job with very long hours (ugh!), but also have a very high maintenance horse who needs daily exercise to stay sane & manageable... this is just about do-able now, but it's already getting dark early and I get home at 7 so will be tricky in a few weeks time.

We're looking at getting a portable floodlight or two so that we can school properly by night, it's surrounded by big trees so lots of high-up-places to put them. We're remote and our neighbours are out of sight so they wouldn't bother anyone, and they'd only be on for a schooling / lunging session.
We have electric not too far away but think we may have to go the generator route?

I was just wondering what you use / where to get them from?
Which are waterproof and can be left outside rather than having to be put up/taken down each time?
As bright as possible (!) without being ridiculously expensive?

Unfortunately car headlights wouldn't work as can't get them near enough to be effective

Would be hugely grateful for any suggestions, thank you x
