Commercial Electric Lighting Fixtures

Commercial Electric Lighting fixtures include high intensity discharge lights for parking, landscape, and security lighting, and they also include architectural building lighting that improves corporate branding and provides general lighting for safety and visibility around the physical structure. Commercial electric lighting fixtures should be purchased only after a thorough photometric analysis has been performed on the site. The report this analysis generates will show appropriate lumens levels for various points throughout the property and where best to install luminaires. Consolidating this data first will greatly reduce the problematics and guesswork involved in selecting fixture type, wattages, and manufacturer brand. It will also pass on savings to your client who will be much more inclined to accept a proposal that takes a less is more approach to commercial light fixtures themselves and promises a return on investment through improved lumens output and improved energy efficiency.

Newly developed technologies in high intensity discharge building lighting have now made it possible to offer higher levels of light with lower wattages than ever before. Improved electrical ballast designs and new metal halide pulse start technology have made it possible to produce a much higher level of lumens with fixtures operating at 250 watts or less. Dark sky laws in many cities now mandate a maximum wattage of no more than 250 watts, so proposing this new technology to a client not only offers them the promise of lower power bills, but also ensures compliance with local lighting codes. RLLD Commercial Lighting supplies a full repertoire of HID commercial electric lighting fixtures for every outdoor lighting application.

Parking Lot Lighting
Full cutoff parking lot light are available that feature the latest improvements in optics and reflector technology. These commercial electric parking lot light fixtures are designed with dark sky law compliance and energy savings foremost in mind. Featuring a combination of lower wattage and state of the art, glare free, directional lighting control, these parking lot lights can produce higher footcandle levels with less power. They allow you to both upgrade the quality of lighting in your clientʼs lot and significantly reduce commercial electric bills at the same time.

Landscape and Security Lighting
The most effective landscape exterior lighting systems utilize a combination of high voltage and low voltage lights. The positioning and type of luminaires used varies greatly on the terrain and general size of the property, so there is consequently no hard fast set of commercial electric lighting choices to which the landscape lighting designer is limited. A few general rules of design apply to most landscapes, however, particularly in the area of security lighting. The larger a clientʼs property is, the more it will have dark areas covered by shadows. Floodlights controlled by motion detectors will dispel these areas of darkness if an intruder is sensed by the automated system. They will remain on only long enough to discourage an intruder, and to give security time to respond. This is an excellent way to both protect your clientʼs property and implement a very cost effective form of commercial electric lighting that only operates when needed.

Parking Garage Lighting
RLLD Commercial Lighting has a wide range of commercial warehouse light fixtures designed specifically for parking garage lighting. These fixtures are available in both HID and fluorescent models and are designed to light both horizontal floor space and the vertical cube. The importance of distributing light both horizontally and vertically cannot be overemphasized. Motorists require vertical lighting for proper depth perception and navigation around obstructions such as columns and barricades.

A photometric analysis can quickly pinpoint potential problem areas in your clientʼs parking garage. The goal is not to flood the facility with bright light, but rather to create clear contrast between objects, driving lanes, guard rails, parking spots, and other vehicles. Reading lighting articles and systematically detailing this information first will help you avoid overbidding both the number and intensity of commercial electric light fixtures and also pinpoint optimal installation points for maximum glare free distribution of lighting.

Architectural Building Lights
Lighting a group of corporate buildings may appear a very daunting investment to your clients if they assume that a large number of commercial electric lighting fixtures will be needed to illuminate the structure. Again, as in the case with landscape lights and parking garage lighting, it is not necessary to use very high powered lights to get the job done. Fluorescent wall packs, canopy lights, and sign lights can be used to highlight the most important features on a building and provide visibility for pedestrian traffic around the building at night. Many of these low voltage and highly energy efficient commercial electric lights can reduce power costs for your client by as much as 40%.

All of our commercial electric lights are made here in the U.S.A. As a matter of policy, we work only with major American commercial light manufactures on a non-quota, non-biased distributor basis. This means we have the freedom to recommend the equipment that is most appropriate to your project without having to show preference to a particular brand or fixture type. The cost of the photometric analysis we offer to every client is refunded in full at the time of your equipment purchase, and ongoing support is available over the phone from our team of electrical and commercial lighting design specialists.
