Industrial Lights & Industrial Lighting

Why should a company work with someone like RLLD to get a photometric design? RLLD Commercial Lighting offers a combination of retail, design, and lighting photometric services.

We have a seasoned design team with over 50 combined years of experience. All of our support staff is domestically based, and all of our products are American made. We have access to the very best industrial light equipment. We can configure an entire system with a firm, total cost and handle shipment to your location as well.

When the equipment arrives, we can also partner and consult with your electrical contractor if any assistance is needed with the installation of our equipment.

What steps are involved in configuring an outdoor lighting system?
Outdoor industrial light must generate adequate lighting levels for safety and perimeter security. It must also be of an appropriate color to respect building architecture.

What steps are involved in configuring an indoor lighting system?
To create an appropriate level of indoor industrial light, we have to do several things. First, we have to determine the type of facility we are lighting. If it is a new facility, we need to get an idea of what the tenants will be using the facility for. If they will be incorporating skylights, we have to make adjustments for a certain amount of natural lighting in the building.

If the client is looking for lighting control, we need to know if they have already hired someone to install the commercial lighting controls, and it helps us to know what types of controls they will be using. If the client is looking to buy equipment first and then look to have industrial light controls installed with the new fixtures, we will help them find a contractor who specializes in this service.

If this is an older facility, then the project is technically classified as a retrofit. Our client will need to supply us with information on their current industrial light levels. A basic light meter can do this, and any local lighting or electrical contractor should be able to come out and provide this reading.

What other materials do you need?
Blueprints of the building are always helpful. If any overhead plans or AutoCAD drawings of the original lighting system are available, those should be sent to us as well.

What features should clients be looking for in terms of light output and energy efficiency?
Indoor industrial commercial light should provide your employees with a feeling of safety in all parts of the building. There should be no dark corridors or corners where a person may feel uncomfortable walking—particularly after sunset. In offices and cubicles, lighting should also be optimized for comfort so employees can perform their tasks without annoyance or eye strain.

For energy efficient lighting, always buy American made products and spend a little more on the newest technology. New technology, although sometimes more costly on the front end of a purchase, is designed to reduce a building’s carbon footprint by using less power consistently over a period of time. This reduction in power consumption means savings that go back into your operations budget.

Volleyball Court Lighting Packages

Because of the rising popularity of private volleyball courts and recreational volleyball courts in neighborhood recreation areas, the floodlights of yesteryear are soon to become outdated and stand to be replaced by sharp cutoff volleyball court lighting fixtures with metal halide or high pressure sodium lamps. Cut-off style fixtures provide a higher level of control of volleyball lighting and minimize light spillage, making them the best choices for schools, churches, YMCAʼs, and even personal backyards in cities with very strict dark sky compliance laws. Cut-off style volleyball court lights also look more attractive than traditional shoebox lighting designs and serve to better compliment building architecture and surrounding landscapes.

RLLD Commercial Lighting offers a wide range of fixture types and lamp wattages for recreational and professional volleyball court lighting and can show you first hand with actual lighting case studies of completed projects. For private courts, we recommend that you consult with an electrician who can install this equipment, as a number of calculations have to be factored into the equation when choosing and installing lights for a volleyball court. The standard court normally measures 60ʼ by 30ʼ, although these dimensions can vary in a number of private settings and special recreational facilities.

Working with a trained expert in RLLD Commercial Lighting will save a contractor a great deal of time doing all the math necessary to make all the necessary adjustments needed to light a volleyball court that deviates in any respect from standard measurements. It is also necessary to take a number of additional factors into considerations as follows:

Pole and Fixture Placement
In most volleyball court lighting systems, it is a good idea to use one double lighting kit on either side of the court. RLLD Commercial Lighting has a number of wooden and steel poles that come in both standard and decorative designs. We also have mounting brackets that can be used to mount one or more fixtures to trees growing near the court.

As a general rule, add approximately 20ʼ to the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the court in order to light both the court and sideline areas.

Fixture Attributes
The sheik cutoff design that characterizes by RLLD Commercial Volleyball court lighting fixtures gives them a strong competitive advantage over other types of fixtures. They present a much less obtrusive, almost low-profile appearance compared to the more bulky shoebox lights that are often used for tennis court lighting. The cutoff design also delivers a qualitative advantage over floodlights because it lights only the volleyball court and sideline areas with minimal light spillage beyond the court itself.

Lamps can be ordered from RLLD Commercial Lighting either in high pressure sodium (good for repelling insects) or metal halide choices (ideal for white light that nears natural light in quality). Contact one of our specialists about the wattage and ballast options that best suit your particular facility.

Fixture Mounting Height
Our diversity of volleyball court lighting poles and mounts makes it simple and quick for contractors to find exactly what they need to position fixtures at exactly the height necessary to avoid blinding the eyes of players and creating light pollution. RLLD Commercial Lighting experts will also help contractors and design professionals determine which poles and mounts can best withstand any high winds in a given part of the country with charts and up-to-date information on EPA codes and requirements.

Quantity and Quality of Light

This helps ensure that glare and light pollution are eliminated for the greater comfort, safety, and enjoyment of the game.

Commercial Lighting Supply Company

How has the Internet changed the nature of commercial lighting supply?
Online commercial lighting suppliers are beginning to offer traditional commercial light fixture distributorships some serious competition. Websites are selling everything from indoor office lights to recessed art lights and kitchen lighting fixtures. It is almost possible to buy anything you want somewhere online—particularly for jobs in the residential marketplace. This is not so easy, though, if you are looking for larger outdoor commercial lighting equipment orders used for large commercial outdoor lighting projects. Larger fixtures and lighting poles have to be transported on larger directly to the project site and require special offloading procedures that the average online commercial lighting supply source cannot provide.

Are there any negatives involved in buying commercial lighting products online?
The average, commercial lighting supply website only offers you an online store with limited information on applications and vague information at best on manufacture and product engineering details. It is like walking through a retail mega chain, or browsing through an 800-page catalogue to navigate some of these sites. This makes it hard to find exactly what your client needs when all you have to work with are short product descriptions, lists of features, and an overseas call center that provides ordering services only. If you need more specific architectural lighting information on the manufacture and application benefits of specific luminaires, mounts, and poles, you will have to find a commercial lighting supply source beyond the limitations of the standard online store.

How is RLLD Commercial Lighting different than other online supply sources?
We are different because we provide you with both products and application-focused design services at affordable cost small and mid-sized contractors who want to stay on top of the competition and forge ahead in troubled times. The fact that our lighting design service offerings consists of building an individual relationship with each client and supporting our online community at every bend in the road makes us unique. We are certain that this is the key to success in any venture, and we have committed ourselves to this new commercial lighting supply process so that our commercial indoor lighting clients can continue to gain a winning edge in today’s marketplace.

How do you supply commercial lighting design services if you operate primarily online?
We provide design services and validate your specifications with sophisticated software that renders models of your client’s location with various options in lighting poles, fixtures, lamps, and mounts. We can use these models to run simulations and forecast performance and efficiency prior to you filling out a purchase order. This also allows us to give you multiple equipment options to choose from.

Such an application-oriented approach to commercial lighting supply works to streamline procurement more directly toward your project, improve your profit margins, and provide you with specification-grade equipment pursuant to winning you the bid.
