Equilume LTD

The Equilume Light Mask was created by Dr Barbara Anne Murphy, Head of Equine Science at UCD. Prior to her PhD in Veterinary Science from the prestigious Gluck Equine Research Center in Kentucky, she completed a BSc in Equine Science at the University of Limerick and also spent time within the Thoroughbred industry, having worked for both Coolmore and Darley.

An expert in the field of Equine Chronobiology, she regularly speaks at international veterinary conferences and frequently contributes to equine publications in relation to the influence of light on equine reproduction and performance. A native of West Cork, Barbara drives the R&D component of Equilume, constantly striving to find new, innovative ways to improve the health and performance of horses. 

Comprised of a team of animal scientists, with access to resources at UCD and the Irish Equine Centre and supported by Enterprise Ireland from Day 1, our goal is to rapidly translate ground- breaking science into award winning innovative solutions for the horse industry and beyond.

At the heart of everything we do is the development of lighting solutions that allow animals to live and behave more naturally, in tune with the environment, so that they are healthier and perform better to meet our needs and those of sustainable agriculture.
