Commercial Parking Lot Pole Installation Tips

The installation of commercial parking lot lighting poles is a systematic process that begins with the purely conceptual with the systematic and precise. This process is similar to a flowchart, with every segment depending on the segment before it, and every following segment resting on the foundation of the preceding segment. Each step along the way must be successfully completed without error, or the entire system is severely weakened and rendered ineffective.

Because of the interrelationship between the parts and the whole, the consequences of making miscalculations at any stage(s) of the installation of commercial light poles can be error multiplied by error. Mistakes like this often happen when too many vendors become involved in a project. A design source may not have access to the best commercial light poles, and the actual lighting pole vendor may not be able to seamlessly coordinate installation.

You will save yourself a tremendous amount of time and money when you obtain a turnkey outdoor commercial lighting pole installation from RLLD Commercial Lighting. Our representatives will handle the complete installation as a seamless consultation->design->procurement->installation project from start to finish, being careful to impeccably execute each of the following steps summarized below.

Idea
Your idea begins with inspiration. You visualize an outcome that is both affordable to your budget and satisfactory to your commercial lighting needs. This original idea functions as a “big picture template” that our representatives will respectfully consider as the starting point of the process.

If you consult with one of our commercial lighting pole installers who can preserve the integrity of your initial idea, and expand it according to all logistical, legal, and technically sound principles, you will be much more satisfied and see your new lighting system as something you actually helped participate in creating.

Conceptual Design
Your idea will then be expanded into a conceptual design that provides a visual model of how your lighting system will look after it has been installed. Our many years of experience working in high-end parking lot lighting design ensure you an exceptionally detailed and attractive visual piece upon the completion of this step.

Photometric Calculations
Photometric calculations specify the placement of poles, pole type, and the necessary pole height for optimal quality and quantity of light. These lighting design calculations ensure the technical and functional integrity of the conceptual design and allow us to make any necessary changes to the conceptual design prior to actual equipment purchase. They also help us narrow our focus on fixture procurement before the next stage even begins.

***Please take note of this special fact: RLLD Commercial Lighting uses some of the most sophisticated parking lot lighting design software currently on the market to develop your conceptual design and perform all photometric calculations accurately and expediently.

Fixture Specification
Certain lighting fixtures will work better than others at different heights and in different environments. As part of our turnkey commercial light pole installation service and fixture specification, we identify the types of fixtures you will need, how many we need to provide you, and what customization options you will require for optimal lighting results.

Wind Zone Research
Wherever you are in the United States, you reside within an area designated by the EPA as a “specific wind zone.” This designation refers to the speed of the wind in your area at various elevations. WIND LOAD refers to the ability of a commercial concrete lighting pole or steel light pole to safely withstand the strongest possible winds in your area without collapsing. To install the right commercial light poles, you have to know all the specifics about your particular wind zone, and you have to know how to equivocate the wind load of a pole you may be interested in buying in relationship to the specifications mandated by Federal law.

This is too much research, too much math, and too much time for your staff to cost effectively handle. As a nationwide specialist in commercial lighting pole installs, we already have this data for most parts of the country. If you live in a remote area, we can easily find it.

Local Codes/Lighting Restrictions
Your commercial lighting pole installation is also subject to local regulation. The height and fixture mount on each pole has a direct impact on the direction and intensity of the light. RLLD Commercial Lighting will ensure that you have the best possible poles that produce the best quality and quantity of light within the boundaries of local laws and area lighting restrictions.
