Industrial Lighting Design

What are the benefits of industrial lighting design by RLLD Commercial Lighting?
Our commercial photometric plans develop both the functional and aesthetic aspects of your new lighting system. These aspects can be summarized in the following four points.

1. Determine exactly how much light you need in a given area.
2. Find the most energy efficient lamps to produce this light.
3. Find the most decorative fixtures to give your building maximum decorative appeal.
4. Determine where these lights need to be mounted.

How does your industrial lighting design process determine how much light we need?
We look at your building, its age, and its usage to calculate the number of foot candles you will need in specific locations using photometric software. These calculations are based upon blueprints and AutoCAD drawings you provide us with, along with answers to specific questions we ask about your operation.

This data, in turn, is fed into an advanced software platform that generates a point by point diagram of lumen output, showing the range and intensity of your new lighting. See our photometric lighting examples.

Can you be sure that the fixtures you provide are indeed the most energy efficient?
Yes. We use only American-made equipment that is made by the top commercial lighting fixture manufacturers in our industry. These fixtures are engineered for maximum lumens-watt efficiency ratios and feature a variety of new technologies that maximize power conservation, lamp life, and optimal beam spread.

The intention here is to get more light with less power, and, when possible, get more light with fewer fixtures.

What is the importance of decoration to industrial lighting design?
That depends entirely on your business type and facility needs. If you are operating a warehouse, you obviously do not need decorative commercial lighting inside. However, it does help to promote your corporate brand to have some aesthetic appeal on your sign or building frontage. Goosenecks are very good for this, as our a number of other architectural lighting fixtures we can provide you with.

If your facility is service-oriented, then your corporate image is vital to your marketing and sales initiatives. Commercial light systems should support your building architecture and provide an attractive face to the world that will enhance your appeal to investors and clients.

You also want your interior lighting to look good to employees who tend to work better when they are surrounding by an aesthetically pleasing environment.

How do you determine where lights need to be mounted?
Industrial parking lot lighting design software calculates the necessary foot candle plots for each specific work environment and outdoor area of your commercial property. It also calculates the optimal lighting angles that will be required to produce these foot candles. Once these angles are determined, we can show your electrical contractor exactly where to mount and position each fixture we sell you.

What if I want to buy my fixtures elsewhere?
You can do that. We will sell you the industrial office lighting design plan and a list of recommended light fixtures. You can then have your local electrical contractor obtain these lights (or their equivalents) through other channels. However, if you buy the equipment from us, we give you the photometric plans for free, and we can ensure that the fixtures you purchase are indeed the best lights for the job.

Commercial Gooseneck Outdoor Lights

Gooseneck lights are great fixtures to propose to clients who want functionality combined with aesthetics. These commercial grade lights can be installed both indoors and outdoors to fulfill both aesthetic and practical demands. If your client has a sign near the front entrance of the property, a gooseneck lamp is an excellent way to highlight the company brand and provide continuous advertising 7 nights a week. Homeowners associations also favor goose neck lights because of their sheik design and ability to decoratively highlight ornamentation at the entrance to subdivisions and exclusive neighborhoods. Hotels and restaurants rely upon these commercial lighting fixtures, because advertising their brand is not only subliminal, but also a conscious, deliberate invitation to the public at large.

Of course, one can find a goose neck lamp in a hardware store, or a wholesale parts depot with a catalogue style website. What makes our gooseneck lights significantly superior to these retail or foreign-manufactured products is the quality of materials that goes into making each lamp and the place of origin itself. RLLD commercial decorative lighting sells no imported parts or lighting equipment whatsoever under any circumstances. All products are made in the U.S.A and feature specification grade components, engineering design, and written warranties to guarantee the work. When it comes to lighting their corporate brand or signifying the location of a club, hotel, or restaurant, the last thing your client wants is a fixture that is going to burn out on the night that the VIP shows up. Installing something that is built to last now will save time, money, and possible embarrassment in the future.

Because RLLD architectural lighting designers works in close partnerships with the top lighting fixture manufacturers in the United States, we can supply you with gooseneck lights of any size, style, color, or finish option you need to differentiate your client’s facility and add an extra touch of functional light in key places when so called upon. Our professional staff will listen closely to your requirements and perform a photometric lighting analysis of your client’s site. The report this analysis generates will show what areas on the property and inside the building need specific levels of light, and it will also show us how to achieve those lighting levels with the most cost effective equipment possible. This makes it much easier to choose goose neck lights as complimentary pieces to an overall lighting theme, using them as a supporting aesthetic to an overall “look” that simultaneously performs a specific task that is vital to company image.

Because we sell not only commercial lighting products, but also commercial landscape lighting accessories, we can also provide you with equipment to wall mount a goose neck lamp to the side of a building to illuminate a company’s logo or service. This is a favorite outdoor lighting method among manufacturers who prefer to take a very Spartan approach to decorating factories and warehouses, but nonetheless want what fixtures they do install on and around their building to look attractive and produce a high quality of light. Goose neck lights are made from aluminum and are well suited to this purpose. Their light weight makes them easy to mount on any building surface, and their sturdy construction makes them highly weather resistant.

We can also equip you goose neck lighting that are designed for interior as well as commercial exterior lighting. Many new office buildings often feature rather eclectic interior architecture in the foyer and around the front desk. Many of these settings look ultra-modern and a bit too sophisticated for standard lighting. Wall mounted goose neck fixtures can be substituted for traditional floor and desk lighting near chairs and couches in the waiting areas…giving your client’s clients a new light to read by. They can also replace less sophisticated over the picture lights that have previously been used to light fine artwork and photograph. Halogen bulbs in these lighting not only produce excellent white light with superb color rendering for sign lighting and gateway lighting, but they also render color in paintings and prints exceptionally well, provided the light is properly filtered and controlled.

Architectural Landscape Lighting Designs

Architectural landscape lighting must unite the man made with the natural in a way that is compliant with regulatory codes and cost effective for your clients. While landscape lighting itself consists of a focus on illuminating and magnifying points of interest in the natural scenery, architectural area lighting creates the sense that buildings and technology are in harmony with Nature and established a more unified presentation to anyone viewing the facility at night.

Creating an architectural landscape lighting system that will remain true to this intention without costing additional money down the line requires a great deal of planning and research to determine all the necessary photometric requirements of the system, access to specification grade and commercial lighting equipment made in the United States by manufacturers who emphasize quality over quantity, and a willingness to use pioneering technologies that many of your clients may not yet trust, but can quickly be educated in if you can somehow find the time and resources to show them all the benefits you can bring to their table.

For instance, one of the most costly components in architectural outdoor landscape lighting has been any type of incandescent luminaire, such as a quartz floodlight, that consumes too much electricity in comparison to the light it produces. Newer fixtures that rely upon electronically ballasted fluorescent lamps, improved HID sources, and now LED light bars have made these older fixtures obsolete. This comes just in time as well. Any incandescent fixtures that your clients are currently using in their architectural landscape lighting systems are going to have to be replaced by 2010 anyway. Waiting until the last minute to take care of this only compounds replacement costs with a possible last minute part shortage. Saving your client from two crises simultaneously is an excellent way of gaining client loyalty, referrals, and repeat business down the line.

By investing now in specification grade landscape architectural lights that utilize improved fluorescent lamps and ballast controls, LEDʼs that can save as much as 80% on power consumption, and HIDs featuring higher than ever LPW efficiency rating, you generate savings that translates into ROI and recession proofing the Spartan budgets of a very cautious and somewhat nervous customer base. You can do this too without sacrificing the visual element so essential to this art and science. This new generation of architectural landscape site lighting not only performs better than the previous generation of technology, but it actually features more attractive, diversified and decorative fixture housings in a variety of fixture housings and finishes heretofore unimagined.

RLLD Commercial Lighting provides everything from decorative fluorescent bollards, post mounted lights, LED street lights for industrial parkways and private thoroughfares, super energy saving low voltage landscape lights of every variety, and HID floodlights that output more light with less energy than ever. All of our lighting fixtures, without exception, are made by world class manufacturers located right here in the United States. Because our sources are exclusively American, we can ensure both quality and compliance and also pass on manufacturersʼ warranties unavailable to cheaper parts procured from overseas channels.

Of even greater benefit to both small and large companies alike is the adjunct lighting design services we offer with every purchase of architectural landscape light fixtures. We have invested heavily in proprietary design software that will calculate the precise photometric requirements for optimal foot candle density and directional lighting control. By nailing down the technical and regulatory details first, we can then help you focus on finding fixtures and accessories that add aesthetic value to your clientʼs location. This in turn enables you to creating an architectural landscape outdoor lighting system that is customized to the exact parameters of your clientʼs site and guaranteed to perform reliably with a minimum of maintenance for years to come.
