Industrial Lighting Design & Designers

How do we define industrial lighting design?
Industrial lighting design is defined as the systematic planning of fixture selection and installation. This planning involves the creation of a lighting fixture, photometric layout that includes fixture placement locations, luminance specifications, and diagrams indicating the presence and nature lighting controls.

Upon request, industrial lighting designs can be rendered into 3D images of the facility that show what the location will look like under new light.

What businesses need a professional industrial lighting design?
As a GSA Advantage lighting vendor, any military or government entity can certainly benefits from one of these plans. Manufacturers that rely upon specified levels of glare free light for safety can also greatly benefit from investing in a design before purchasing. Another industry that seems to come to us quite frequently are those with outdoor parking lot lighting needs.

How can RLLD fulfill this role?
By designing a commercial lighting system first, we can offer you significant savings by showing you exact amounts of light needed by different parts of your facility. There is no point in over lighting a parking lot or anything on your property, nor will you need to worry about doing so ever again, because the design plans out your new system using sophisticated software that does these calculations at the speed of light.

What do you need from us to create an industrial lighting design for our building? Please tell us as much as possible about each type of task that is performed in your building and around your building exterior. This is the most important part of the process—the creation of appropriate, reliable, and affordable task lighting design. Send us elevation plans and a plan view in AutoCAD format.

Using your description of your process flow requirements and the data you send us in file form, we can then calculate your lighting levels and determine your equipment requirements.

What options in design and beyond design do we offer clients?
Every client has the option of simply buying an industrial lighting design from RLLD Commercial Lighting and having their local electrician attempt source the equipment and install it from them. Clients interested in getting the very best American-made light fixtures and accessories from us will have the cost of the photometric deducted from their final invoice.

Clients also have the option of seeing the proposed outdoor parking lot lighting plan in three-dimensional form if so needed for decision making or showing to vested partners and procurement supervisors.

RLLD will help you select the very best fixtures for every detail of the plan, and we will also work with your local contractor as a consultant on retainer if they need specific technical information on the installation and configuration of our equipment.

Commercial Indoor Lighting Solutions

Most clients you propose services to will be very concerned about the recession. They are going to want reassurance from the get go that the lights they buy today will last a long time to come and help them either save money, make money, or both. If you can prepare a proposal in advance that quantifies specific channels of ROI, you can give yourself a competitive advantage over almost any rival you are up against. Many commercial environments in and of themselves are defined by the type and quality of indoor lighting. Some depend on the lighting itself as a contributing factor that directly impacts the generation of capital. Others experience the benefits of indoor commercial lights on a more indirect, somewhat intangible level. The quality and nature of an organizationʼs commercial indoor architectural lighting system has a direct impact on its morale, production time, and generative financial power. Understanding the type of business you are looking to help will in turn help you very quickly what types of commercial indoor lights to order to best meet the requirements of your clientʼs environment, activities, and fiscal overhead.

Industrial Organizations
Industrial clients receive the greatest benefits from indoor commercial lights that cut power costs and provide superior supportive task lighting. They seldom take the time to focus on decorative concerns, choosing instead to give top priority to the utilitarian and functional requirements of task-supportive lighting. This is both a matter of focus and a matter of safety in industrial environments. Shadows constitute trip hazards in warehouses and factories, and glare can create an equally hazardous environment. For shipping/receiving, manufacturing, and material handling facilities, it is imperative to think SAFETY and CONSERVATION with every fixture you install. Keep in mind that industry is very heavily related in these areas, just as commercial indoor and outdoor commercial lighting are becoming increasingly regulated.

Service Based Organizations
Office personnel in service industries work best in an environment under commercial indoor light that is both task and decoratively oriented. Usually this involves multiple layers of light, and it almost always requires more than one lamping option. Commercial lighting controls help to control both indoor lighting levels and the consumption of electricity. Lighting control is especially vital to specialty rooms, such as conference rooms, that function in a multi-dimensional capacity. The ability to both control the overall level of light and directly manipulate layers and colors of light is vital to effective presentation and maximizing the potential of any environment used for presentations, audio-visuals, and teleconferencing.

Retailers
Retailers need commercial indoor building lights with the very best CRI to light products on shelves and to showcase anything of importance that has been placed in its own display. They also need multiple layers of light, normally at least two to effectively showcase both their floor space and specific products that are intended to be differentiated from general product selection. It is paramount to do this as cost effectively as possible. Retail profit margins are normally rather slim, so the more you trim a storeʼs overhead on power bills, the more readily they will embrace both the technology and the design you propose.

Hospitality Clients
Hotels, country clubs, restaurants, and resorts require a very specialized approach to commercial indoor lighting. Each location features a variety of buildings whose interior architecture varies on a room per room basis. So many special events occur within each room of every facility that commercial indoor lighting fixtures and lamps have to provide everything from task and general lighting to special decorative and associative aesthetic themes that support the brand of the organization, the activities that normally occur with each area, and a general sense of removal from mundane reality to a higher, superior, and more eclectic realm of activity.

Clients Interested in LEED Certification
You may find a client in any of the four industry classifications above could possibly be looking to obtain LEED certification. Installing the appropriate specification grade indoor fluorescent commercial lights be a major factor in earning points toward such an accreditation. Because high electric bills are very often the result of high temperature created by outdated lighting fixtures, very often the first step in lowering the power costs for these clients is to replace indoor lights that are burning too hot with cooler burning equivalents. Hand in glove with this methodology is also replacing lights with lower LPW with superior LPW efficiency ratings. New commercial fluorescent lighting, induction lighting, and most especially, LED commercial light fixtures and lamps all offer new options never before available to lower overall electric consumption and qualify for points in environmental friendliness and innovation and design as well.

We are able to offer such as sweeping diversity of products and scope support because of the unique relationships we enjoy with American light fixture manufacturers.

Unlike regional distributors who are often bound to quotas and exclusive, binding agreements, we operate nationwide without obligation to sell any particular product at any particular time. This allows us to take a very objective and impartial stance when providing our clients with equipment. In fact, most of our clients already know exactly what lighting products they want for their projects and simply call us to locate the best source, price, and equipment features specific to their needs. This allows us to expand our sphere of service from simply being a distributor of equipment to being an lighting design advisor, consultative partner in the preparation of your proposal.

When you call us, you get a live sales representative on the phone trained in all aspects of commercial lighting who can answer detailed questions about specifications, applications, and customization options.

Sales agents at RLLD Commercial Lighting will take the time to understand the nature of your project in order to pinpoint exactly what fixtures and lamps are ultimately most suitable for your client. Our sales representatives will work with you from conception to analysis, from specification to procurement, maintaining an ongoing dialogue and providing you with a wealth of information you can pass to your clients as they ask questions. We also will conduct a full photometric analysis of any client’s site using advanced lighting design and planning software that we have obtained at great expense. When you order equipment from us, we will deduct the cost of the photometric lighting analysis from the price of the equipment. For select products, we offer turnkey installation services throughout the United States, making us truly a one source supply house, consulting firm, and installation partner to your organization.

Because our reach is nationwide, and because we work in direct partnership with lighting manufacturers all over the United States, we can handle bulk procurement with much greater efficiency and expedition than local or regional brick and mortar vendors.

We can fast track rush orders in as little as two weeks, arranging for the lighting manufacturer to ship equipment directly to your client’s location. Because we do not rely on anyone but the manufacturers themselves for equipment, any retrofits or replacement parts that the manufacturer currently has in stock can be ordered and dropped shipped expeditiously with faster lead time than competing vendors typically can offer. Oftentimes, however, buying a replacement lighting fixture is more economical and profitable than locating replacement parts. As a courtesy, we always try to offer you second and third options to consider so your clients feel like they have more than one option as well and you have more negotiating power at the line item level.

One other thing that differentiates RLLD Commercial Lighting from other vendors is our relentless pursuit of energy saving solutions through power saving equipment, low voltage technology, and new emerging technologies that offer to ultimately transform the entire world of lighting.

We make it a point to offer our fixtures that feature the best energy ratings, highest lumens per watt output, glare shielding, reflectors, and optics. We are fully conscious and aware of the growing trend for municipalities to regulate both power consumption and light pollution. If you operate in more than one city, county, or state, keeping track of the many different laws that apply throughout your sphere of service may pose something of an inconvenience to you. Our specialists will be happy to help you with any research into local parking lot lighting codes to help you save time and focus on preparing an impeccable proposal.

We welcome you to our site and encourage you to contact us us often to participate in our community management program. This program will allow you to receive discounts on products and services, dialogue with experts, receive referrals for new business, and participate in incentive programs for contractors who volunteer testimonials and lighting design suggestions.

Commercial Lighting Energy Saving Tips

The following summary represents the top five reasons to upgrade indoor and outdoor lighting with energy efficient luminaires :

Energy efficient lighting uses less electricity.
This is perhaps the most important benefit your clients will receive from energy efficient lighting. Rising fuel costs have had an effect on the cost of power, and reducing your clientʼs operating costs even by a marginal amount helps buffer them against the recession. Right now is a good time to take stock of all indoor and outdoor lighting luminaires and make a qualitative assessment of their long term value. If they can be replaced with more energy efficient equivalents, then savings on the light bill will pay for the fixtures in a few short years.

Energy efficient lighting minimizes replacement costs.
Luminaires eventually wear out because of thermal stress on the components. The less electricity a fixture uses, the less heat it generates. Reducing heat helps prolong the life of the bulb and minimize replacements. The money saved on luminaire replacement is yet another revenue stream that brings ROI on the equipment investment.

Energy efficient light fixtures are more environmentally friendly.
Incandescent lighting is notorious for producing C02 emissions through its inefficient management of power. It has been estimated that buildings with inefficient lighting systems contribute 40% of the world’s greenhouse gases. Replacing all of these luminaires with energy efficient equivalents would significantly impact the global environment in a positive way.

Energy efficient lighting is essential to LEED certification.
Companies are starting to take LEED certification very seriously. Power conservation is becoming a top priority for new building construction, and is much easier to accomplish when designing the building with LEED certification in mind. Companies in existing buildings, however, may be considerably more difficult due to poor ventilation and outdated wiring and power outlets. Energy efficient commercial lighting alone may not provide enough total points for these facilities to earn an immediate certification, but the money saved on subsequent power bills can contribute funds toward any necessary future remodeling.

Energy efficient lighting helps avoid conflict with lighting regulatory codes.
In some areas of the nation, energy efficient lighting is required under regulatory codes as part of a more comprehensive community push toward sustainability. In other places such as California, state legislation has now stepped in to make power conservation a top priority.
While we have yet to see a standard for regulating energy efficient outdoor lights emerge on the Federal level, we have reason to believe one may be created in the near future with increasing public demand for a comprehensive, national energy policy.
