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.

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.

RLLD Commercial Lighting has actual lighting case studies on a wide variety of industrial, commercial and athletic sports field lighting fixture applications. If you can not find what you are looking for call us toll free at 1-866-654-3961 and we will find it for you.

Business Building Lighting

RLLD Commercial Outdoor Lighting knows that Building Lighting contractors are facing some hard times ahead. With the recession getting worsening every month, there is talk of a depression going on everywhere from You Tube to the mainstream media. RLLD Commercial Lighting wishes to remind Building Lighting designers that even during the Great Depression of the 20th Century, many millionaires were made in spite of a worldwide economic crisis and a pending World War. We believe that American entrepreneurs, in the long run, will still have a very bright future, and we believe that our support of the Building Lighting manufacture and the business lighting designer can play a pivotal role in sustaining and moving prosperity forward even in the darkest of times.

That being said, we would like to discuss today the exact role we play in the business lighting world. To start with, we work in two directions to support the American lighting industry on an exclusive basis. As a distributor and vendor, we work only with manufacturers who are American owned and located within the United States. We hold to this policy both out of loyalty to our own country and domestic business partners and out of a sure belief that American made Building Lighting fixtures is still the very best in the world. Working in close partnership with American manufacturers affords us more ready access to thousands of fixtures, mounts, lamps, and accessories that can equip any lighting designer in the country with the exact model, size, and type light needed to fulfill the needs of a municipal, government, military, academic, or commercial client. It also allows us to expedite timely drop shipping of Building Lighting fixtures anywhere in the nation on the turn of dime, eliminating the problematic of foreign invoicing and time delays involved in overseas shipping and warehousing.

We are the only virtual lighting design agency that is able to work so closely with commercial lighting design firms in order to help them develop customized commercial lighting systems and expedite proposals that are both cost sensitive and technologically superior to those of their competitors.

Our sales personnel are also design personnel, and they can answer any question that you as a contractor bring to the table both from a technical standpoint and an aesthetic standpoint.

Furthermore, we have invested heavily in some of the most advanced photometric analysis software available to Building Lighting firms. This suite of programs enables us to take basic data regarding your client’s site and facility and generates from it a sophisticated, detailed, and visually compelling photometric analysis that you can both use to design your clients system on a point-by-point basis and then later lay alongside your proposal on your client’s table. These photometric analyses make fixture selection more precise and cost-effective for Building Lighting contractors. They detail all necessary foot candle levels mandated by local lighting laws (which research for you), document where fixtures need to be placed, and recommend optimal mounts to best control the direction of lighting and the minimization of light pollution.

These Building Lighting design services are free to any client or serious inquirers, and they can be obtained on an as need basis by others for a reasonable fee. We will also help recession proof your clients with the latest and most sophisticated energy saving outdoor lighting fixtures.
