Horse and Livestock Trailers
Wildcat Lighting has researched extensively the problems associated with loading and unloading horses and livestock in low light conditions. Two factors were presented that created the most problems as well as solutions. First is that most livestock (including horses) have very limited color spectral range of visibility and second was the awareness of inherent fear of going or stepping into an unknown area where their senses are confused.
Most animals (vegetarians) see more in the ultra-violet range where types and quality of vegetation is more easily identified. Due to this factor of evolution, certain types of light are more visible to some animals than others. The ability of an animal to see where they are going and what is around them provides a far greater sense of security and hence easier management.
We have found that by providing suitable light frequency to the animals allows them to see that there is nothing under or beside or in the box (trailer) and therefore minimizes the fear factor. Wildcat Lighting has provided a very low power consumption lighting solution for trailers that provides comfort to the animals as well as extremely good lighting to the owners. We provide a number of options in lighting for trailers suggest you call us for recommendations concerning your particular situation.
