Outdoor Accent Lighting Fixtures

Outdoor accent commercial lighting can accent any element of structure or exterior landscape with supplemental white light or lighting of various hues and colors. Outdoor accent light fixtures tend to be smaller and less obtrusive than purely functional site lights, and most are available in low voltage designs that allow them to remain on throughout the night without costing your client a fortune in electrical usage. There are hundreds of fixture types you can use for outdoor accent lighting, and countless places throughout your client’s property where they can be installed for a superior outdoor lighting experience.

Building Lights & Building Lighting
Most commercial buildings have something uniquely aesthetic about their architecture that makes them stand out as individual structures in comparison to other buildings. Accenting these structural points of differentiation can be done very effectively with decorative light fixtures made specifically for building and sign lighting.

Even if your client has a building that features nothing spectacular or particularly attractive about its design, you can still add an aesthetic touch to even the plainest of structures with LED recessed electric lights and signage lighting. Just by adding a touch of color to a drab exterior can transform a building from something that is “just there” to something that stands out in an appealing manner.

Walkway Lights & Landscape Lighting
Any corporation, academic institution, or municipal facility that has two or more buildings on property is going to have connecting walkways that run between these buildings. These walkways can be accented with a variety of outdoor accent lighting fixtures, most of which are low voltage fixtures and diminutive in size. Bollards, path lighting, and rope lights are excellent sources to use along walkways. During holidays, a host of LED specialty lights and displays can also be installed along walkways to establish a theme of decorum appropriate to the season.

Ultimately, no matter what lamping options you select for your client’s outdoor accent lighting, you want to create a sense of unity between the architecture of different buildings—especially if the buildings themselves differ significantly from one another. If your clients building(s) reside(s) on a large piece of land, you also have to extend this sense of unity into the surrounding landscape. As sustainability and green technology continue to matter more and more to society at large, your clients can surely benefit from any visual suggestion that their operation exists in harmony with the surrounding natural world to the extent that the boundaries between the two cannot be clearly separated, if they can be at all.

Tree Lights & Tree Lighting
Tree lighting represents a very unique, niche market service for eclectic landscape design companies. For regions of the country where they are still legal to use, mercury vapor decorative lights can be hidden in the upper branches of the trees to create pools of artificial moonlight around the base of the trunk. For regions of the nation where mercury lights have been banned, contractors can install fluorescent or LED fixtures to create special luminary effects in the landscape.

Waterworks & Waterfalls
Municipal parks and large commercial properties often invest in fountains and artificial waterfalls. These waterworks can be either circular or rectangular in nature and often have a concrete bottom similar to a swimming pool. When you encounter a structure such as this, you have an amazing opportunity to produce some spectacular lighting effects with energy saving lights that will magnify the brilliance of the fountain and surrounding pool at a marginal power cost.

Commercial decorative lighting around waterworks can be either ambient white light or colored light. LEDs make excellent accent lighting for fountains and bodies of water because many LEDs are actually designed to operate under the water itself. You can install red, green, amber, or blue LEDs in key locations along the bottom of the pool, fountain, or artificial waterfall, creating a spectrum of light that rises out of the water. Around the perimeter you can use decorative bollards, step lights, accent lights, and small floodlights that shine white light toward the center of the pool and the waterspout of the fountain itself. These fixtures too may be very energy efficient. You can use low voltage halogen, commercial fluorescent or white LEDs.

Statues and Metal Sculptures
Statues are common on public school campuses and institutions of higher learning. They are almost always present in the courtyard of city government buildings and frequently decorate public recreation and park areas as well. Decorative lighting around statuary should be as low key and unobtrusive as possible. Commercial lights mounted in the ground around statues or on the corners of the pedestal can create stunning up lighting effects. You do not want to light the entire surface of the statue when doing this. If you do, you will “flatten” the statues appearance to a two dimensional image. A certain amount of shadow is essential to giving a statue a truly three dimensional appearance. Commercial decorative lights must be positioned at key angles of incidence to create this blend of light and shadow.

Similar principals apply to lighting metal sculpture with decorative lights, although there is often much greater flexibility here if you are lighting something that is very large and obviously abstract and asymmetrical in design. Large metal sculptures often require decorative lights to be directly mounted to their surface at the top and near the middle in order to evenly illuminate the curves and angles of the piece.

RLLD Commercial Lighting has access to countless dark sky lighting fixtures and lamping options that can accommodate these unique art lighting demands. We also have many years of experience in fine art lighting equipment and design and will provide you with any assistance you need in setting up outdoor accent lighting systems for metal sculptures, statuary's, and abstract three dimensional works.

Fluorescent Lighting Fixtures

Fluorescent light fixtures offer your clients both a front-end savings and a back-end return on investment. They are far less expensive than LED, Induction, and MH luminaires, and their energy efficiency lighting, lamp life, and performance level is undisputed. As 2010 is just around the corner, all of us are faced with the impending need to replace all incandescent lamps with newer, more energy saving, and more environmentally friendly luminaires. In spite of the fear and uncertainty we face in this recession, putting it off for too long will only result in more complications down the line, because parts shortages are almost sure to come when everyone scrambles at the last minute for replacements and retrofits.

In actuality, now is the best time to propose to fluorescent lighting fixtures to clients whose genuine need and limited budget make them ideal candidates for an affordable purchase that compounds a savings/reinvestment return that will wind paying for the equipment anyway.

You really won’t be able to offer your client a better deal than this. When funds are limited, fluorescent light fixtures are the perfect replacement for incandescent sources because they come in so many shapes and sizes, and they are equally viable for indoor and outdoor lighting applications.

Any client you encounter can utilize compact fluorescent light fixtures to generate a better quality of light and a lower monthly electric bill. Schools, churches, warehouses, corporate office parks, retail establishments, libraries, non-profit headquarters, and government buildings are just of few of the many organizations that will benefit from specification grade, American made fluorescent lighting fixtures, ballasts, and lamps.

It is important for you to help your clients understand the differences between commercial fluorescent lights and incandescent lights. A fluorescent light fixture is designed to be fundamentally different from an incandescent light. The core operative in an incandescent is a filament that produces a bright, white light when current passes through it. When Thomas Edison first invented the incandescent lamp, it revolutionized the world.

However, as world population has grown, the demand for fuel needed to produce electricity has exponentially increased. Limitations unforeseen by Edison have now made incandescent lamps inefficient and obsolete. They waste too much power, generate too much heat, often create blinding glare, and they burn out way too fast. They also produce greenhouse gasses that are released into the atmosphere if a bulb gets broken.

Fluorescent light fixtures were the first luminaires that required no filament to produce light. Instead, they pass an electric arc between tungsten cathodes in a tube filled with low pressure mercury vapor mixed with other trace gasses. This arc excites the mercury vapor, producing radiant ultraviolet energy. This ultraviolet light strikes a phosphor coating on the inside of the tube and causes it to “fluoresce” into visible light. A ballast, either magnetic or electronic, controls the electron flow to prevent the lamp from pulling too much current and burning itself out.

You will no doubt encounter many clients who already have such fluorescent fixtures already in place and who feel they are fine with what they have. Please point out that many foreign made and retail fluorescent fixtures have magnetic ballasts that cannot regulate electron flow as efficiently as commercial grade electronic ballasts can. Consequently, they tend to have lower Lumens per Watt efficiency and won’t do your client as much good in the long run.

If you are proposing fluorescent light fixtures for any type of landscape or outdoor site lighting system, you really have no option but to go with the highest LPW possible. Regulations on power consumption are only going to get tougher in the years to come, so it this is one area where costs effectiveness means buying the best, not the most convenient or expedient, ballast technology.

Because fluorescent lighting fixtures use electricity to agitate gases rather than heating a filament, they operate at much cooler temperatures than incandescent lights. This results in two benefits you can pass directly on to your clients. For one thing, the cooler temperatures in the office, warehouse, or factory will less electricity for the HVAC system to cool the building to cool the building. Secondly, the fluorescent fixture itself will last longer, as prolonged exposure to heat will cause virtually any substance to deteriorate.

A long lasting fixture like a fluorescent light will not need to be replaced as often. Your clients will avoid wasting money on buying new induction lighting equipment, and they will save money on the labor associated with installing them as well.

Low Bay Lighting & Warehouse Lights

Low bay light fixtures are mostly used in commercial environments that require superior CRI and reduced glare. Low bay light fixtures are normally installed in ceilings measuring 20 feet in height or less. Low bay lights are perfect investments for companies seeking a more ergonomic lighting source for their employees, and a luminaire that contributes to a more productive work environment. The diversity of low bay lights requires working with a vendor that will help you find the best fixtures for your client’s business needs and process flow. RLLD Commercial Lighting will help you significantly with this, because we represent multiple US lighting manufactures and will impartially recommend the very best fixture for the project—not a model that anyone requires us to promote.

HID High Intensity Discharge Lights

When installed correctly, low bay lighting will evenly spread illumination over a given space to enhance luminosity. Typically HID or high intensity discharge bulbs are used in low bay lights. We offer a number of HID lighting fixtures that come with optical refractors. These refractors reduce the amount of glare produced by the MH or HPS lamp. HID products in this category have the can improve vertical illumination as well as horizontal illumination because of the large amount of light produced. These high intensity discharge fixtures can also be spaced two to four times their mounting height. They can also be mounted at higher levels, up to 25’ when higher vertical illumination is necessary.

Fluorescent bulbs have also gained enormous, recent popularity as low bay light sources because of their high level of uniformity and energy efficiency in contrast to commercial HID products. Assembly lines often prefer them because they render color with great detail and provide a very ergonomic source of lighting for workers performing detailed tasks for many hours.

HID Industrial Lighting Products

Commercial & industrial HID lighting fixtures continue to become more significant and important as changes in the lighting industry occur. Because of new laws that ban incandescent and mercury vapor lights, HID lights are becoming a necessity. Energy conservation is also another motivating factor in the push toward HID light sources. Because fuel costs show no signs of decreasing any time soon, it is imperative that companies cut their outdoor lighting costs. Because they are controlled by ballasts, HID lights are the ideal industrial lighting fixtures of choice for businesses in a city such as Houston, Texas, which recently passed an ordinance that requires all outdoor lights to operate at an efficiency of .15 watts per square foot.

Some of your clients may cringe at the thought of having to replace outdoor halogen, mercury vapor, and incandescent light sources. These clients can be reassured the simple fact that HID lights produce some of the best artificial light perceivable by the naked eye, and that the power savings and the superior aesthetic can only constitute a win-win investment scenario. Metal Halide lights, for example, produce a bright white light luminance that is able to render colors at a quality nearly equivalent to natural light. HID lights are also much more energy efficient than their predecessors. A 35 watt HID lamp produces up to 6 times as much light as an equivalent incandescent lighting source.

HID pole lights make ideal outdoor security lights because they improve peripheral vision in a manner similar to daylight. This is vital to the safety of maintenance personnel who work late at night, and many college campuses, hospitals, community parks, and hotels are also moving toward HID sources for general security and outdoor landscape lighting solutions.

HID lights operate by passing a current through a gas tube. A Ballast controls the current, stabilizing electron flow and conserving electricity in the process. This in turn causes an arc to form within the tube and creates illumination. The two most popular HID lights are high pressure sodium (HPS) and Metal Halide (MH) lights. High Pressure Sodium lights feature the longest lamp life, but they also create an unsightly yellowish tint that doesnʼt work very well for most aesthetic scenarios. Metal Halide lamps produce a very bright, white light that is very similar in quality and color rendering ability to natural daylight. MH lamps, however, last for significantly shorter periods of time than HPS lamps, although with new ballast and wiring technology, lamp life is improving as engineering advancements continue to be made.

Generally, we see High Pressure Sodium HID lights used in parking garages where color rendering and aesthetics are high priorities. They also have some limited use in low-level decorative street and park lighting. Here, the slightly colored light they produce can actually compliment ornamental fixtures and special beveled glass lenses to create a surreal sensibility. Mostly, however, Metal Halide lamps continue to gain market dominance as the preferred source of HID lighting. Parking lot lights, standard street lights, and landscape lights all benefit extensively from the level and quality of light these efficient and powerful lamps produce.

Commercial Pendants & Decorative Pendant Lights

Commercial pendant lighting offers you a broad spectrum of interior design options to pass on to your clients. Pendant lighting is widely varied in commercial environments and is available in both low voltage and high voltage options. This allows you to match a pendant light to any type of ceiling, interior architecture of the building, color scheme of interior design, and even the functional purpose of the overall ambient lighting scheme. The complimentary effect that commercial pendant lights have on interior environments makes them on of the most versatile categories of indoor lighting luminaires.

Commercial pendant lights are classified by style. Each decorative light is designed for a specific type of environment where function and form can blend together in a fluid, complimentary presentation r. In total, there are four classifications of commercial pendant lighting fixtures: Large (and multi light) pendants, mini pendant lights, bowl-shaped pendants, and foyer pendant lighting fixtures. Fixtures from any of these four categories can be used as accessory lighting sources that bring a blend of function and form reflective of a wide variety of commercial interiors.

Retail
Mini pendant lights are ideal for subtle lighting effects over special retail displays. When centered over a jewelry display case or a new fashion line, they work to magnify specialty display lighting with a subliminal, low key mystique.

Restaurants
Larger restaurants tend to space their tables out to provide elbow room for diners. As such, each table is almost like an island of private conversation and atmosphere. Large commercial pendant lights suspended overhead will illuminate the table and seated guests in a special space of personal light.

Hotel and Building Lobbies
The hub of hotel business is the front desk. The more you draw the viewers’ attention toward the desk, the more you attract clientele to central place of exchange. Bowl shaped pendant lights work exceptionally well for this task. Fixtures with the open side down place the desk in a very bright light and make it clearly visible through the front window to guests pulling up outside.

Large, multi-story office buildings often have a front desk as well. This desk sits in the main lobby and dual functions as a concierge service and security station. Lighting commercial buildings where restricted access is a safety priority, this area can sometimes end up looking a bit too “police state” for employees who work in the building, and for clients who visit the building. One way to soften up the area is to hang one or commercial bowl pendant lighting fixtures with the open side up. This creates a more diffuse, indirect light source that adds just enough of a decorative touch just enough to create some a sense of welcome and comfort for employees and visitors.

Country Clubs
Both foyer and mini pendant lights can significantly enhance decorum in formal dining areas and private rooms in the clubhouse. In these environments, a highly decorative fixture is preferable to add to the sense of exclusivity and private membership. Very sturdy commercial pendant lights can also be installed over patios, outdoor tables, and over building entrances.

These are just examples of the many ways that commercial pendant lighting can enhance room style with accent light and fixture designs that offer their own color, pattern, and texture to the interior decorative scheme. Call an RLLD Commercial Lighting expert for more information on how to use these unique luminaires in key locations that will add aesthetic and functionality to your client’s location.

Commercial Recessed Lights & Lighting Fixtures

Enhanced illumination helps create a more positive and focused work environment in the office. It also improves employee morale, and contributes to increased productivity which can be vital to recession proofing a business in todayʼs unstable economy. Of course, many businesses may feel that now is not the best time to invest in a comprehensive overhaul of their interior lighting system. For such companies, commercial recessed lights offer an affordable enhancement to the existing general lighting system that represents a safe-bet investment in a sluggish market place and also helps to reduce liability and improve general safety.

A certain number of foot-candles are required for clear visibility and safe mobility within a building. Pockets of shadow or low levels of light represent areas where employees can injure themselves or suffer from eye strain due to insufficient light. Commercial electric recessed lights are ideal for improving illumination in these areas and increasing visibility so employees can more easily perform tasks and move between stations when necessary. Reducing the risk of injury or work-related physical stress helps decrease the potential liability for an organization with substandard levels of lighting. Something as simple as installing a few commercial recessed electric lights could potentially qualify a company for reduced commercial liability insurance rates, provided the contractor who installs the recessed lights provide the organization with a photometric analysis that details the improved quality of interior lighting and shows where newly installed recessed light fixtures work provide new directional lighting for important tasks in key areas of human traffic and activity.

Recessed electric light fixtures are also an important source of accent lighting in commercial interiors. Meeting rooms and foyers are two very important rooms that every company should spend the money to literally put in the best possible light. Recessed electric lighting fixtures in these rooms can be wired to dimmer controls that allow for the light to be set to appropriate levels for different events. Speakers, sales presentations, private meetings, and even video conferencing can all benefit from the flexible and controlled illumination produced by commercial recessed electric lighting fixtures.

To determine specifics such as housings, trims, and lamp types, it is necessary to quantify floor and vertical cube space, and to spend as much time as necessary to interface with clients to learn the key activities that represent their business model and what type of light fixtures will best support those activities. This information can then be passed on to us so that we may process this data using sophisticated lighting design software that generates a comprehensive photometric analysis of the clientʼs interior office space. This photometric assessment depicts a point by point, room by room breakdown of required levels of lighting and optimal locations for fixture placement. Knowing these two details helps the contractor determine exactly how many recessed electric lighting fixtures are actually needed, and which housings, trims, and lamp types will best meet the requirements of the proposed installation.

For ceilings that cannot be cut due to restrictions in the commercial lease, retrofit recessed lighting fixtures may be the best way to go. Smaller companies who feel the pain of investing even in a few new ceiling lights can be reassured with the promise of lowering power bills with low voltage models. Unique interior architecture such as sloped ceilings can also be accommodated with special recessed electrical commercial light fixtures made just for such interiors.

These are just a few examples of the range of options available through RLLD Commercial Lighting. We supply contractors with an enormous diversity of commercial recessed electrical lighting lamps, housings, and trims that combine unobtrusiveness with flexibility. All equipment is American made here in the United States and drop shipped directly to the clientʼs location unless otherwise requested.

Metal Halide High Bay Lighting Fixtures

Metal halide high bay lighting continues to be popular form of high bay lighting in factories, warehouses, public halls, gymnasiums, transportation stations, and hangars. This comes as no surprise, because metal halide high bays were designed originally to provide bright white general lighting for industrial areas where visibility is essential to safety and production.

Metal halide high bay lights are a form of High Intensity Discharge Light fixtures. High Intensity Discharge Lights (HID) are lights with long lamp life, excellent energy efficiency, and exceptional color rendering abilities. Metal halide high bays perform very well as factory lights, where color differentiation plays an important role in general assembly work and safety. Any operation that constantly struggles to maintain higher profits against the overhead needed for production tends to lean heavily in favor of metal halide high bays for two very important reasons. For one thing, metal halide high bay lamps offer a very long lamp life that minimizes the need for continual replacement fixtures. Companies save money when they buy lamps they can be certain will last for a long period of time. This makes it possible not only to save money, but to more accurately predict quarterly and annual budgets related to equipment and labor costs. Contractors who are aware of these benefits can only serve themselves and their clients for the better by discussing in detail the many advantages that metal halide light fixtures offer to the industrial facility as a long term on investment that is both reliable and robust.

The light that metal halide high bays produce is very white and renders color anywhere from 65 on up to 90 on the CRI. The actual CRI rating of a given lamp depends on its wattage, manufacture, intended purpose, ballast control, and level of optical engineering. Generally speaking, MH high bays do much better than high pressure sodium high bays and low bays both because of the true white light they emit and the superior color rendering you can expect from them. If your client is uncertain as to whether the higher cost of metal halide is justifiable on the basis of color rendering alone, there are some other considerations you might want to discuss with the decision maker before finalizing the proposal.

The power savings generated by new pulse start metal halide high bays is indisputable (see our correlating lighting article on pulse start technology to learn more about this). Improved engineering and ballast controls within the fixtures allow the new metal halides to reach full restrike luminance as little as 2 minutes after a shutdown or temporary power failure. Because of the much better lumens per watt rating this new lighting technology offers, clients can save money on two levels. Lower wattage high bays can be used to produce the same level of light as probe start metal halide high bays. Similarly, a lower actual number of higher wattage fixtures can be used to again produce the same amount of illumination throughout the facility. The choice to go with either lower wattage or higher wattage and fewer fixtures should be made by assessing the overall thermal output of the high bay lighting system in the building. Whichever option will place less strain on the HVAC system should be chosen, provided the system delivers a satisfactory level of commercial lighting that is evenly distributed throughout the facility.

Optical control in MH high bay lighting fixtures made in the US tends to be the best of its kind. Glare shields and reflectors on most fixtures today are designed to produce a bright light that is still ergonomic to employee eyesight. RLLD Commercial Lighting metal halide high bays almost always exceed client expectations in this respect because we insist only on supplying our contractor clients with fixtures and lamps made domestically in the U.S.A. Our HID fixtures come with full written manufacturerʼs warranties and feature specification grade engineering designed to deliver optimal results over an extended period of time. They are made with the best wiring designs, optical controls, reflectors, lamps, and lenses to ensure a luminance that is robust, reliable, cost effective, and contributive to the momentum of your clientʼs process flow.

RLLD Commercial lighting will help you find the very best possible metal halide high bays for your client by performing a systematic photometric analysis of the facility prior to finalizing any equipment orders. This diagram, produced with sophisticated lighting design software, can show us how much light must be produced in the room, how best to distribute that in terms of both horizontal and vertical foot candles, how many fixtures we need to supply you with, and where to best install those fixtures to maximize light distribution and long lamp life.

Commercial Outdoor Lighting Fixture Systems

Commercial lighting systems are often very complex. A significant number of factors influence the selection of equipment, placement of fixtures, and levels of illumination appropriate to structures, terrain, and activity. Many of your clients in todayʼs recession will often fear the costs associated with a commercial lighting system and seek to reduce overhead with generic equipment. This creates more problems than it solves. Cheap fixtures and poor design creates blinding spots of glare that cast shadows, creating both an eyesore and a number of lighting safety and security hazards.

It is much better for businesses to make a one-time investment in a truly effective commercial lighting system that consists of five standard elements. By operating as a virtual lighting agency dedicated to America ʼs best equipment and lighting design strategies, RLLD Commercial Lighting designs and equips commercial lighting systems that address these five major arenas and customizes each particular element to the specific size and style of the individual facility.

Commercial Interior Lighting
Choosing interior lighting for commercial systems is simple and cost effective when a few basic factors are taken into account at the time of purchase. First, what room or building will the fixture illuminate? How many employees will be in this room, and what will they be doing there? How important is high color rendering to safe and productive labor? Will the lights be left on continuously, or will they be on only when workers enter for a few minutes at a time?

Commercial lighting systems in factories and warehouses normally fluorescent lights that operate at cooler temperature, reduce power usage, and require fewer bulb replacements. In office lighting, halogens provide superb color rendering and glare free lighting for people working at computers, copy machines, and desks. Interior commercial light systems can be built per room, per specific task, in this fashion. One or two metal halide lights in a managerʼs office is all one needs for a touch of decorative color. Fluorescents that produce functional lighting only when needed help further reduce electrical costs in bathrooms and kitchens, and the heat recycling ability of halogen lights proves itself ideal illumination in rooms where power conservation and human comfort are equally desirable conditions.

Commercial Security Lighting
Commercial lighting systems should always help maintain a secure perimeter around the property and provide bright lighting near and around the building. This is particularly true for organizations with night crews working on loading docks, or maintenance and cleaning crews entering and exiting the building in the dark. These employees need to clearly see their surroundings without being blinded by glare and without any shadows that could hide an intruder or lead to an injury in the dark.

Commercial security lighting doesnʼt have to be expensive to operate. RLLD Commercial floodlights can be controlled by timers that turn lights on at sundown and off at sunrise. Motion sensors can also control these fixtures, turning them on only when a potential intruder triggers the photocell sensor. Such cost effective, but highly effective light sources help security cameras and guards can see more clearly around the edges of buildings and across the property between the building and the parking areas.

Parking Lot Lighting
Appropriate visibility in the parking lot is a major factor in every commercial lighting system. Glare free parking lot lighting will help improve visibility between vehicles, eliminating any dark areas that car thieves and burglars can use for hiding spaces. Parking lot lights are actually regulated by the government and by law must produce a minimum of four foot candles of light. To make certain you are proposing the right poles and fixtures to your client,

Commercial Exterior Lighting
Commercial exterior lights are also critical elements in commercial lighting systems as they illuminates all sides of the building and ensure that building access points are clearly lit in a balanced level of light that dispels shadows without glare. RLLD Commercial Lighting designers draw upon skills learned in architectural design cross training programs that enable them to link multiple buildings together in a field of natural-looking light that prevents unauthorized personnel from approaching the building without detection and also keeps walkways, sidewalks, and doorways in clear and constant view for nighttime visitors and workers.

Landscape Lighting
Commercial lighting systems can actually unify architecture and the natural landscape when they create 4 layers of illumination. While many lighting designers normally only create 2 layers to illuminate grounds and earthworks, RLLD Commercial Lighting specialists will help any outdoor lighting contractor develop a multi-layered system using advanced photometric lighting design tools and sophisticated specialty equipment.

After many years of teamwork alongside leading landscapers, we have perfected a technique of combining distinctive layers of light that allows us to light everything from park areas, atriums, trees, flower beds, and tree lines at high-end resorts.

All of the products we provide for commercial lighting systems are American made and are manufactured here in the US . RLLD Commercial Lighting sells only standard commercial grade and specification grade lighting fixtures and provides free, adjunct lighting design services and selective turnkey installations for commercial lighting design contractors.

Dark Sky Lighting Regulations

Dark sky regulations are intended to improve the overall quality of residential and commercial lighting while at the same time controlling its quantity. Dark sky regulations seek to minimize glare and obtrusive natural light that often finds its way into homes and neighboring businesses. This type of light pollution is common with fixtures that offer little or no directional control of the light, have been installed at less than ideal angles of incidence, or that take diffuse too much bright light into all directions in an inefficient attempt to eliminate all shadows. This only results in too much light shining vertically up into the atmosphere, posing a threat to many species of nocturnal animals and blotting out the view of the nighttime sky.

Dark Sky regulations are the result of the dark-sky movement. This grass-roots movement originated with astronomers, who became extremely concerned that artificial light from cities was obscuring the view of the stars. A number of associations now exist worldwide that exist to educate the public in the many hazards of uncontrolled artificial light and to help communities adopt dark sky regulations that call for energy efficient, full cutoff lighting fixtures in outdoor environments. Full cutoff fixtures cast light downward and are ideal for controlling lighting levels in public areas.

The full cutoff fixtures required by dark sky regulations offer an alternative to the “blanket” approach to outdoor lighting that previous generations took. Rather than trying to brightly illuminate every corner of a building or commercial property, full cutoff fixtures illuminated only an intended portion from a specific angle of incidence. The goal is not to floodlight the area with light, but rather to shine enough light onto an object or area with enough light to render color and contrast necessary for accurate depth perception at night.

By requiring a more precise approach to lighting in general, dark sky regulations call for lighting fixture equipment that benefits both the environment and the city’s budget. One of the biggest myths in our industry is the belief that a large amount of bright light is the key to safety. Studies have shown, however, that humans need only just enough light to see contrasts between light and shadows and basic colors. This new data has allowed manufacturers to engineer fixtures with better, more efficient optics. These newer types of fixtures use polished aluminum reflectors to both aim and control the level of light. Because they rely upon precision rather than sheer power, full cutoff fixtures can do more work with fewer watts. This is why dark sky regulations now limit HID lighting fixtures to a 250 watts maximum and compact fluorescent lights to 25 watts maximum. These changes, though momentarily inconvenient to those who have to replace wall pack lighting equipment to comply with dark sky regulations, quickly pay off with lower energy costs, improved general safety thanks to the reduction in glare, and a better overall aesthetic.

Dark sky regulations sometimes involve lighting curfews that require lights in certain areas to be turned off after businesses are closed and traffic is minimal. Contractors installing outdoor lighting systems in an area such as this should use motion controlled sensors as much as possible. This will allow the lights to come back on if a person or vehicle enters the property. Other steps should be taken by the contractor to minimize the possibility of light trespass into adjoining properties and streets. Signs should be fully shielded and landscape lights should operate without glare. Luminaires such as sign lights, building lights, and step lights that are not specifically regulated by dark sky laws nonetheless have their own separate codes of compliance that have to be followed. Dark sky regulations are flexible to an extent when it comes to athletic and sports field lighting, provided the local authority has certified them in writing to minimize glare and light trespass and operate within acceptable hours for sporting events.

Industrial Fluorescent Lighting Fixtures

Recent laws now require all incandescent lights to be replaced no later than 2010. Consequently, industrial fluorescent lights will play an increasingly vital role in future lighting design. Almost every factory, warehouse, and office park will need new architectural area lights, if not a completely new lighting system. We strongly recommend that you urge your clients now to invest now rather than later, because part shortages will most likely arise when many companies wait until the last minute. RLLD Commercial Lighting anticipates and understands that your clients may not want to spend money until we know how long this recession we are facing is going to last. You will overcome their fears when you show them the many benefits that industrial fluorescent light fixtures will provide for their business. By explaining how this evolving technology can actually help them recession-proof their business, you can gain a strong competitive advantage over other contractors. Who out there doesnʼt want to invest in longer-lasting, energy efficient equipment whose reduced power consumption and lower maintenance cost will compound savings that pay back the value of the purchase order and potentially generates a revenue surplus?

Industrial fluorescent lights last longer than other luminaires.
We personally have never encountered a client who enjoys wasting money on equipment replacements. We strongly suspect as well that such clients do not exist. The people we know expect their moneyʼs worth anytime they spend it, and they expect the things they buy to last. Industrial fluorescent lights will prove their value to these cautious clients the minute the lights power on. With superior and more reliable performance than luminaires, these clients will experience a light that is more comfortable to the eyes (generally industrial fluorescent lighting lamps create significantly less glare), and lower electric bills. This is going to be a major turning point for contractors in cities such as Houston, TX. Our city government has recently tightened the belt on LPW codes. Come August 1st when the new law goes into effect, no more than.05 watt will be permitted for every lumen produced. With these changes on the near horizon, it is essential for contractors in Houston and other major cities to propose lamps that will generate more light with less electricity. As a general rule, industrial fluorescent light fixtures feature a LPW and offer the additional benefit of cooler operating temperatures. For warehouses and shipping/receiving centers that are using currently using HID high bay and low bay lights, replacing existing fixtures with fluorescent industrial bay lights can lower the temperature within the building and generate further savings on HVAC cooling costs.

Fluorescent lights are found almost everywhere in the world of industry and distribution.
Fluorescent industrial lights represent some of the worldʼs most diversified sources of illumination. You see industrial fluorescent light sources in virtually every indoor and outdoor lighting system. This is especially true in material handling, manufacturing, and shipping receiving companies who have to squeeze every penny on overhead to turn a profit. Because industrial fluorescent lamps render color at only 8 points less than that of natural light, fluorescent low bays are an excellent line item to offer any client that needs a better light source over an assembly line or work area characterized by highly detailed or potentially dangerous tasks. For industrial site lighting, they perform competitively against a large percentage of HID area lights. In our energy and environmentally conscious marketplace, you find everything from industrial fluorescent bollards and decorative landscape lights to powerful fluorescent floodlights linked to motion detectors and advanced alarms. Warehouses commonly use fluorescent wall packs as glare free, economic lighting sources around building perimeters and loading docks. Canopy lights with fluorescent lamps also serve as highly efficient and vandal-proof fixtures for industrial walkway lighting and parking garage lighting.

Todayʼs industrial fluorescent lights feature electronic ballasts that create a quality of light that is higher than ever before.
The stereotype many people have of industrial fluorescent lights as headache generators has long since been disproven and overcome and by newer, electronic ballasts that have freed fluorescent light from the flickering and yellowing effects produced by the inferior ballasts of the past. Todayʼs fluorescents generate a comfortable, white, glare free luminance that is easy on the eyes and fits hand in glove with glare and light pollution regulations. It is important to inform clients about the difference between retail fluorescents that use cheap, magnetic ballasts and more advanced specification grade industrial fluorescent lights with electronic ballasts. The all-American-made, specification quality fixtures we supply to contractors feature only the very best electronic ballasts in a variety of voltages engineered for superior electron flow, power management, exceptional CRI, and photometric delivery power. This represents the highest level of manufacturing and engineering quality in our industry; which is why so many general contractors and builders rely upon RLLD Commercial as their exclusive vendor and source for commercial lighting information.
