Architectural Lighting Projects

Civil engineers, general contractors, commercial electricians, architects, and professional lighting designers will find it much easier to choose architectural lights equipment when they work with RLLD Commercial Lighting. As an impartial vendor that represents multiple manufacturers, we offer small companies and sole proprietors direct access to vendor relationships that would otherwise be out of their reach. These contractors enjoy tremendous freedom of choice when selecting architectural lighting fixtures, poles, mounting options, and accessories because we are an impartial vendor that is not required to fill any quotas for the manufacturers we represent. Because of this, our commercial clients will never be pressured into buying architectural lights from any one particular manufacturer. Rather, our specialists will help each client meet any design challenges and lighting regulation requirements needed to design a site lighting system, and then they will help that client find the best fixtures, lamps, and mounts most appropriate to the needs of the project at hand.

Architectural light experts at RLLD Commercial Lighting have been cross-trained in a number of fields which allows them to strategically balance the major considerations of safety, regulations, aesthetics, and on site security when helping develop school site lighting designs. Foremost in our thinking is the need to help contractors and engineers recession proof their projects by building ROI into the purchase order. We look for ways to increase lumens per watt efficiency by pointing out the best lamps, optic designs, and ballasts for optimal lighting output and stable regulation of current. We also have a rapidly growing inventory of LED architectural outdoor commercial lighting fixtures that stand poised to replace other types of lamps completely in the near future. This revolutionary technology can cut power usage by as much as 80% and offers additional benefits of longer lamp life and maintenance free, environmentally friendly operation.

Dark sky laws strictly control the amount of glare and potential light pollution that can be produced by architectural lighting. In order to avoid violating these codes, it is always a good idea to consult with an RLLD Commercial Lighting design specialist familiar with the laws of a given area. This will both familiarize you with a city, county, or state’s legal requirements, and it will offer you the added benefit of working with an expert who not only knows the facts, but also knows which fixtures which will offer the highest level of compliance combined with optimal performance.

Armed with this information, we can guide the general contractor, designer, civil engineer, and even freelance designer into a whole site architectural lighting design.

Architectural Building Lights
Our team knows which building lights will compliment architectural keynotes without overpowering its facade or shining unwanted glare into other buildings. Building facades are extremely important because they often bear the company brand. Many industrial buildings also paint their logo on the side of their warehouse. Our variety of wall-mounted architectural lights, sign lights, wall packs, and canopy lights makes it possible to keynote each of these building features without light spillage or excessive expense.

Architectural Landscape Lighting
Landscape lighting systems must work to extend the themes established by architectural lights into the general landscape beyond. This creates a sense of unity between human structures and Nature. It can also serve as a form of security lighting, because shadows often pool around building corners or courtyards between buildings. Keeping these areas illuminated minimizes the opportunity for burglars or vandals to approach the building unseen.

Parking Lot Lights
Parking lot lighting systems should be developed per wind load requirements in your area and foot candle minimums required by law. Dark sky laws must also factor into the equation so you can determine which light fixtures will best produce a glare free luminance contained within facility boundaries with no light spillage falling into surrounding streets and neighborhoods.

Parking Garage Lighting
Vertical footcandles are just as important to commercial parking lot lighting as horizontal footcandles are. Evenly distributed vertical light is essential to the depth perceptions drivers rely upon to safely navigate around obstructions within the garage. Determining the balance between vertical and horizontal footcandles usually requires special software that smaller companies may not be able to afford. These companies can gain equal footing with larger firms by letting RLLD Commercial Lighting input data into our software to produce a proposal that reflects mathematical accuracy and precision selection of lamp wattage and fixture placements.

The complexity of architectural lighting systems can quickly add up to a very costly expenditure that is strenuous to the budgets of mid-sized companies and frightening to small companies who are currently being hit hard by the recession. Low voltage equipment and fluorescent fixtures can be used to help many of these entities reduce power costs, and as LED lights continue to emerge, even more energy cost savings can be created by replacing traditional high pressure sodium and Metal Halide fixtures. For the convenience of contractors, licensed DYI lighting designers, and smaller organizations on tight budgets, RLLD Commercial Lighting also custom designs architectural lighting packages that feature of a blend of basic equipment and specialty equipment that can be adapted to any site lighting scenario.

General inquiries can also expect a high level of attention and expertise for a small, reasonable consulting fee.
