Here is what I have to say - straight from the "horses"....
"Orion West wins our "best-in-class" vote for barn/equine suppliers". In 2007 we were blessed with the chance of a life time; designing, building and outfitting our very own dream barn from the ground up. Though small in scale we wanted our start-up breeding/training facility barn to be of the same elite quality as our 3 elite Hanoverian foundation broodmares. We spent over a year in the request- for- proposal process, and shopping for the best- of- the- best quality and tasteful fixtures. We spent countless hours getting references and comparing products: on everything - from functionality, quality, safety, durability, supplier knowledge, price point, customer service, ability to customize...and more. Orion West outfitted all our aisle, stall, wash stall and run-in lighting. We are absolutely are sold on Orion West for barn lighting and highly recommend them to any equine facility - no matter what budget in mind - these fixtures are much more than "best value" for price!! The the stall brooder lights really helped get our mares super ready for a successful breeding season; and we never had the hassle of clipping our show and sale youngsters since a few night hours under your full spectrum stall lamps kept their coats summer short, super shiny and even dappley (a big plus at their AHS inspection day!). Our Orion West's awesome associate/partner was a true consultant during the sale process helping us plan positioning of aisle and wash stall fluorescent fixtures plus talked me out of ordering the additional two fluorescent aisle lamps I was certain I would need. She asked me for my barn layout first thing. (Thanks again, you were so right, I didn't need them.)
I didn't know barn lighting fixtures could be so attractive, the fluorescents are actually lovely on the eyes and give off a nice natural light. They are absolutely silent, never-ever flicker and turn "instant-on" in all temps. I recommend them to any and all equine facilities without hesitation! "
