Industrial Lights & Lighting Products

What should I look for when buying industrial lighting products?
Always keep lighting energy efficiency, lumens output, the number of fixtures needed, and the best lamp types when you are investing in a new lighting system. You must make certain that everything you buy is reliable enough for long-term use in your business environment.

The many different fixture types and lamp options you can get in today’s industrial light products give you the ability to customize your lighting system to the specific applications that run your business. You will get the best results if you confer with an expert who can design a photometric layout of your new system that will act as a guideline for procurement and installation. will ensure the best possible outcome for your operation.

What are some examples of the industrial lighting products you sell?
Large warehouses with high ceilings over twenty feet normally invest in high bay lighting. For buildings with ceilings lower than twenty feet, low bay fixtures work better. Office areas are typically most cost effectively lit with halogen lamps or commercial fluorescent fixtures.

No matter what industrial metal halide high bay lighting products you ultimately decide to purchase, you must make certain that any bay lights or fluorescent fixtures you have installed are easy for maintenance personnel to access if low pressure sodium bulbs or ballasts so need repair or replacement. The quicker the replacement can be made, the lower the labor cost will be.

Keep in mind too that if you invest in lamps that have high-quality energy efficient light bulbs, your maintenance costs will already have been dramatically reduced.

The outside of your building can also benefit from industrial sign lighting products that highlight your company logo and brand. Flood lights controlled by timers or motion sensors can safeguard the perimeter of your property. New parking lot lights poles will increase visibility and safety for employees and guests. For other outdoor lighting needs, a multitude of high intensity discharge lamps, fluorescents, incandescents, and halogens exist as viable lamping options.

What price ranges should I look for?
It is not about money, it is about the integrity of the design and manufacture. When a person invests in commercial-grade products made only in the USA, brightness does not have to cost an arm and a leg. Energy efficient light bulbs & lamps can achieve both the brightness you need and the cost savings that you desire. These commercial lighting fixtures tend to pay for themselves by lowering electrical bills over a period of time.

Are there specific fixture types I should look into?
Newer industrial lighting products are intended to save you money on operations. Some may serve specific applications better than others.

If you need long lamp life and brightness, invest in halogen bulbs. These are incandescent lamps built with a special additive in the bulb that regenerates the filament every time it is lit. Halogens last much longer than traditional incandescents. Unfortunately, halogens create a great deal of heat. If lower your cooling costs is priority, use commercial HID lamps such as high pressure sodium, mercury vapor, or metal halide lights.

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.

Architectural Lighting Projects

Civil engineers, general contractors, commercial electricians, architects, and professional lighting designers will find it much easier to choose architectural lights equipment when they work with RLLD Commercial Lighting. As an impartial vendor that represents multiple manufacturers, we offer small companies and sole proprietors direct access to vendor relationships that would otherwise be out of their reach. These contractors enjoy tremendous freedom of choice when selecting architectural lighting fixtures, poles, mounting options, and accessories because we are an impartial vendor that is not required to fill any quotas for the manufacturers we represent. Because of this, our commercial clients will never be pressured into buying architectural lights from any one particular manufacturer. Rather, our specialists will help each client meet any design challenges and lighting regulation requirements needed to design a site lighting system, and then they will help that client find the best fixtures, lamps, and mounts most appropriate to the needs of the project at hand.

Architectural light experts at RLLD Commercial Lighting have been cross-trained in a number of fields which allows them to strategically balance the major considerations of safety, regulations, aesthetics, and on site security when helping develop school site lighting designs. Foremost in our thinking is the need to help contractors and engineers recession proof their projects by building ROI into the purchase order. We look for ways to increase lumens per watt efficiency by pointing out the best lamps, optic designs, and ballasts for optimal lighting output and stable regulation of current. We also have a rapidly growing inventory of LED architectural outdoor commercial lighting fixtures that stand poised to replace other types of lamps completely in the near future. This revolutionary technology can cut power usage by as much as 80% and offers additional benefits of longer lamp life and maintenance free, environmentally friendly operation.

Dark sky laws strictly control the amount of glare and potential light pollution that can be produced by architectural lighting. In order to avoid violating these codes, it is always a good idea to consult with an RLLD Commercial Lighting design specialist familiar with the laws of a given area. This will both familiarize you with a city, county, or state’s legal requirements, and it will offer you the added benefit of working with an expert who not only knows the facts, but also knows which fixtures which will offer the highest level of compliance combined with optimal performance.

Armed with this information, we can guide the general contractor, designer, civil engineer, and even freelance designer into a whole site architectural lighting design.

Architectural Building Lights
Our team knows which building lights will compliment architectural keynotes without overpowering its facade or shining unwanted glare into other buildings. Building facades are extremely important because they often bear the company brand. Many industrial buildings also paint their logo on the side of their warehouse. Our variety of wall-mounted architectural lights, sign lights, wall packs, and canopy lights makes it possible to keynote each of these building features without light spillage or excessive expense.

Architectural Landscape Lighting
Landscape lighting systems must work to extend the themes established by architectural lights into the general landscape beyond. This creates a sense of unity between human structures and Nature. It can also serve as a form of security lighting, because shadows often pool around building corners or courtyards between buildings. Keeping these areas illuminated minimizes the opportunity for burglars or vandals to approach the building unseen.

Parking Lot Lights
Parking lot lighting systems should be developed per wind load requirements in your area and foot candle minimums required by law. Dark sky laws must also factor into the equation so you can determine which light fixtures will best produce a glare free luminance contained within facility boundaries with no light spillage falling into surrounding streets and neighborhoods.

Parking Garage Lighting
Vertical footcandles are just as important to commercial parking lot lighting as horizontal footcandles are. Evenly distributed vertical light is essential to the depth perceptions drivers rely upon to safely navigate around obstructions within the garage. Determining the balance between vertical and horizontal footcandles usually requires special software that smaller companies may not be able to afford. These companies can gain equal footing with larger firms by letting RLLD Commercial Lighting input data into our software to produce a proposal that reflects mathematical accuracy and precision selection of lamp wattage and fixture placements.

The complexity of architectural lighting systems can quickly add up to a very costly expenditure that is strenuous to the budgets of mid-sized companies and frightening to small companies who are currently being hit hard by the recession. Low voltage equipment and fluorescent fixtures can be used to help many of these entities reduce power costs, and as LED lights continue to emerge, even more energy cost savings can be created by replacing traditional high pressure sodium and Metal Halide fixtures. For the convenience of contractors, licensed DYI lighting designers, and smaller organizations on tight budgets, RLLD Commercial Lighting also custom designs architectural lighting packages that feature of a blend of basic equipment and specialty equipment that can be adapted to any site lighting scenario.

RLLD Commercial Lighting experts stand ready to assist the client and the serious inquirer on a complimentary basis both through online channels and phone-based advisory services. General inquiries can also expect a high level of attention and expertise for a small, reasonable consulting fee. RLLD Commercial Lighting carries a wide variety of industrial & commercial lighting fixtures.

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.
