Architectural Area Lighting

Architectural area lighting features an aesthetic element that differentiates it from purely functional site lighting. Although lamps used in both architectural area lighting and site lighting are often similar--if not the same-- light sources, architectural area light fixtures are manufactured with a noticeably higher degree of decorative design. As such, equipment costs can be rather high at times, and this can deter city governments, academic institutions, and even small companies from making an investment that would otherwise serve their outdoor lighting needs on a number of levels ranging from public appeal to commercial branding. When architects, general contractors, and certified electricians encounter this type of resistance, they can come to RLLD Commercial Lighting for adjunct lighting design support that will enable them to propose cost-effective, energy saving light sourcing that offers both tangible benefits and ROI on multiple levels.

Contractors frequently bid projects for office buildings, churches, museums, civic centers, municipal headquarters, universities, restaurants, resorts, and country clubs that require a highly customized, often sophisticated architectural area lighting system that will contribute essential, specific elements to their property, building ornamentation, and public image. The fixtures and lamps that are used must completely meet the multiple demands of dark sky laws, increasingly strict LPW efficiency codes, minimum foot candle requirements, and bring the client measurable ROI through reduced power requirements and minimized ongoing maintenance.

If you are a commercial developer or sole proprietor, licensed electrician, you can quickly and accurately meet all of these demands simultaneously and expeditiously by working with a vendor like RLLD Commercial outdoor Lighting that offers complimentary, adjunct design services to any firm or license DIY lighting installer. Before we suggest specific lamps or fixture types, we talk to you first. We want to learn as much as possible about your clientʼs site. . Does your client have a parking lot, a parking garage, or both? What is the total number of buildings located on the property? Are there areas that resemble a public park, open landscapes, recreational facilities, or walkways that require special park lighting? How many people work or visit the facility at night? What is the total acreage of the property if it is located on a considerably large piece of land? How much light will the entire system output, what it will cost, and what will be the expected return on investment for your client?

The data we gather during this dialogue is now inputted into specialized lighting design software that enables us to calculate on a point-by-point level the exact photometric requirements that are needed to determine which fixtures will best produce building accent light, perimeter and walkway security, glare free, well-lit parking areas, and aesthetic, shadow-free landscape, and energy savings through reduced electrical usage and fewer calls to maintenance. By taking the guesswork out of architectural area lighting, RLLD Commercial Lighting helps contractors first determine exactly what lighting levels and power requirements are optimal to propose, and second, which actual products will most effectively and affordably offer clients lasting solutions that are affordable, reliable, and aesthetically superior. By allowing smaller design firms and individual lighting design consultants to have access to software that normally only larger firms can afford, RLLD Commercial Lighting also helps level the lighting design playing field, arming small companies and consultants with competitive advantages that can rival even the largest firms in photometric accuracy, specification grade quality, and multiple benefits at the line item level.
