CHZ Lighting Powers Joy Pony Equestrian Grounds

01Joy Pony Equestrian Grounds: Lighting Built for Horses and Riders

On August 17, 2026, CHZ Lighting completed the full floodlighting upgrade at the Joy Pony equestrian grounds, deploying 32 FL27B-400W LED floodlights across eight high-mast towers. The system was engineered around the unique demands of equestrian training and competition: long-throw, glare-controlled illumination that keeps horses calm and riders focused across the entire field of play.

Unlike road or parking-lot lighting, equestrian floodlighting has to balance three competing constraints at once - uniform horizontal coverage for safe footing, controlled glare to keep horses unspooked, and CRI accuracy so judges, farriers, and photographers can read color cues. The FL27B platform, paired with a twin-optic configuration per pole, hits all three.

Joy Pony Site Configuration

The configuration is purpose-built for the site:

How the 25° and 45° Beams Split the Work

Each high-mast tower carries a twin-optic configuration: one 25° module aimed down the centerline, one 45° module aimed at the in-field. The 25° beam reaches down the main training track and jumping arena, delivering high-intensity, long-throw coverage where the action happens. The 45° beam washes the in-field warm-up zones, side rails, and spectator apron, providing a softer mid-field layer that ties the whole site together.

The result is uniform, shadow-free coverage that meets club-level event standards after dusk, without the harsh glare that unsettles horses. Riders report consistent footing visibility across the full track, judges read color reliably under the 6000K cool white, and the in-field spectators stay comfortable on the apron during evening events.

02Product Spotlight: The FL27B Series

The FL27B-400W specified for Joy Pony sits at the top of a flexible platform built to scale from small parking-lot poles to stadium-grade high-mast installations. The series spans 30W / 50W / 100W / 150W / 200W / 250W / 300W / 400W, with selectable color temperatures from 3000K to 6500K and CRI options above 80. Select SKUs ship with three-step CCT tuning (3000K / 4000K / 5700K), letting one housing serve parking lots, facades, and sports fields alike.

Beam options cover everything from wide-area flood to precise long-throw: a stock 120° lens for general areas, plus 30° / 45° / 60° / 90° symmetrical lenses and T2M / T3M asymmetrical distributions for roadways, facades, and high-mast applications. The slim, integrated die-cast housing sheds heat efficiently and keeps wind-load low - useful on tall, exposed sites like the Joy Pony grounds, where coastal gusts and open terrain push ordinary housings to their thermal and mechanical limits.

FL27B Wattage Range and Typical Application

03Typical FL27B Deployments

The FL27B platform is field-proven across a wide range of high-mast and floodlighting applications. Joy Pony is one of fourteen common deployment profiles:

04About CHZ Lighting

CHZ Lighting is a manufacturing-led supplier of commercial and industrial LED luminaires, with in-house tooling, automated SMT lines, and a Type-II photometric laboratory. The vertical integration covers die-casting, driver assembly, LED board population, optical lens molding, and final photometric verification - all under one roof, all auditable.

From photometric design and IES file delivery to on-site commissioning support, the company handles each project end-to-end. The in-house lab produces real, signed-off photometric data for every FL27B configuration - so when you specify a 25° / 45° twin-optic deployment for a site like Joy Pony, the IES file that ships with the project matches the installed aiming, not a generic stock file.

That end-to-end capability is also why CHZ closed the Joy Pony job inside a single working day - the eight-tower rollout, 32 FL27B-400W heads, pre-aimed optics, and on-site commissioning all ran in parallel with the manufacturing schedule. No re-aiming, no waiting on third-party photometric consultants, no field re-design.

Whether you need a single high-mast retrofit or a multi-site industrial program, the FL27B series scales to your scope - from a 30W pathway accent to a 400W stadium-grade install - and CHZ's manufacturing depth keeps lead times tight and quality consistent across the whole range.
