Industrial Light Fixtures & GSA Lighting

What are the most popular types of industrial lights for indoor lighting?
In manufacturing and warehousing facilities, high bays and low bays are still among the most reliable and popular industrial lighting fixtures. They have always been a mainstay for large operations as both general light sources and industrial task light sources.

Other industrial outdoor commercial lighting fixture types include canopy lights, which are used to light covered walkways; foyer lights, which illuminate the front interior entrances of buildings, and general office lights, which can illuminate anything from offices to hallways to restrooms.

What industrial lighting fixture features are mandatory for lights to be worth your investment?
They must have good reflectors to be worth your investment. To protect against breakage in areas where there is heavy vehicle traffic or lifts in operation, you may need to invest in a wire cage option that keeps glass lenses from breaking.

What are the best qualities to look for in outdoor industrial lighting fixtures?
The most important thing is the fixture reflector. This is because without adequate beam spread, the reach and intensity of luminance will fall short of intended foot candle requirements.

Another must-have quality in today’s super energy-conscious world is fast start pulse capability. This is especially valuable feature of floodlights, and it is also a very vital to getting things back online if there is a temporary power outage.

Also, look for a good lumens per watt energy rating. Ideally you want warehouse luminaires that can produce large amounts of light at comparatively lower levels of power.

Keep in mind too that these last two attributes are often regulated by law, so talk to your commercial lighting designer about which models will work best for you.

What businesses use industrial lighting fixtures?
There are hardly any businesses that do not use some form of industrial lighting fixtures. Some of these are commercial operations, while others include municipal and academic facilities.

The following list includes, but is not limited to, the most common industrial and commercial lighting examples:

· Convenience Stores
· Car Wash Facilities
· Historical Warehouses
· Industrial Retail Stores
· Schools
· Corporate Retail Centers

Please keep in mind too that as a GSA Advantage vendor, RLLD Commercial Lighting can now sell commercial lighting of all kinds to The Federal Government. (GSA Contract: # GS-07F-0060W)

What makes RLLD fixtures more effective in quality?
To begin with, all of our industrial lighting fixtures are American made. This means that they come with better warranties and can provide replacement parts on an individual basis. If a bulb burns out, for example, you only need to get a new bulb, not a whole luminaire.

Our site lights also have the best lumens per watt ratios compared to those manufactured overseas. This makes them much more efficient to operate. Any higher costs up front will eventually be compensated by the power savings of pulse start technology.

What are the maintenance and replacement cycles that contribute to further savings?
One of the best examples of how RLLD can save companies money is the example of high bay relamping. Generally this must be contracted out because lamps have to be replaced at great heights within a high-ceiling environment. This costs an organization a per-hour labor rate, and it often forces them to wait until enough bulbs have failed before they call an electrical contractor.

We can minimize this inconvenient cost by installing high performance bulbs in high bays that will make them last longer and therefore cause such costly relamping to impact your operations budget much less frequently.
