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.

Industrial Commercial Lighting Fixtures

Many industries need commercial industrial lighting. Factories need special types of commercial industrial lighting for illuminating both their exterior grounds, their indoor shipping and receiving bays, production areas. Warehouses need reliable, efficient fixtures that feature an ease of maintenance and long life.

Retail centers and outdoor malls must have the very best parking lot lights, mounts, and poles to maintain customer safety and to remain in compliance with government regulations that regulate foot candle levels and wind resistance. Parking garages have to have specialized outdoor light systems that will evenly illuminate winding aisles of up and down drive ramps without creating glare that will blind the eyes of motorists.

Roadways require street lights that produce similar levels of glare free light so people can safely drive at night. These roadways can be city streets, county highways, or private drives that runs through a office parks, municipal districts, or college campuses.

Commercial industrial lighting fixtures come in all types of intensity levels and configurations. Their designs are based upon where they are used. High bay and low bay lighting is prevalent in factories and warehouses and illuminates manufacturing and storage areas. High bays and low bays have also made considerable inroads into sports lighting with new metal halide technology that makes them ideal for lighting gymnasiums.

Any number of wall mounted fixtures can be used for outdoor building lighting and security lighting. These commercial light fixtures can be as decorative and highly energy efficient as they are practical—provided that are made by American companies that stand behind their work and who offer more than just a few size, trim, and color options so that fixtures can be matched to building architecture and intended use.

Floodlights are crucial to commercial industrial lighting for security. A number of new reflectors and lamps have emerged with the advent of pulse start MH technology. These new lights can be operated by either timers or motion sensors.

Parking lot lights rank among the most important types of outdoor architectural lights. Trusted US Manufacturers create a multitude of intensities and reflector types that can distribute foot candles in many different patterns and levels of intensity appropriate to location and size of the parking lot. Commercial lighting poles, particularly galvanized steel lighting poles, are often critical to the optimal performance of these fixtures and should also be purchased from American manufacturers through a design-vendor firm such as RLLD Commercial Lighting.

In order to be effective, commercial industrial lighting has to be approached from the standpoint of building a system that will address several major concerns at once. First, the system must produce a desired amount of light to evenly illuminate a facility and create working conditions that are optimal for safety and production. Ideally this system should be an energy efficient light and use as little power as possible in the production of this light, so this balance between luminance and power consumed is called the lumens per watt ratio.

The best commercial industrial lighting jobs, then, are naturally those with higher lumens per watt ratio. Such fixtures can be trusted to use only so much power in the performance of their task. They should be manufactured in the United States as well in order to obtain superior warranty and replacement parts in the event of accidental breakage.
