Industrial Lighting Design

What are the benefits of industrial lighting design by RLLD Commercial Lighting?
Our commercial photometric plans develop both the functional and aesthetic aspects of your new lighting system. These aspects can be summarized in the following four points.

1. Determine exactly how much light you need in a given area.
2. Find the most energy efficient lamps to produce this light.
3. Find the most decorative fixtures to give your building maximum decorative appeal.
4. Determine where these lights need to be mounted.

How does your industrial lighting design process determine how much light we need?
We look at your building, its age, and its usage to calculate the number of foot candles you will need in specific locations using photometric software. These calculations are based upon blueprints and AutoCAD drawings you provide us with, along with answers to specific questions we ask about your operation.

This data, in turn, is fed into an advanced software platform that generates a point by point diagram of lumen output, showing the range and intensity of your new lighting. See our photometric lighting examples.

Can you be sure that the fixtures you provide are indeed the most energy efficient?
Yes. We use only American-made equipment that is made by the top commercial lighting fixture manufacturers in our industry. These fixtures are engineered for maximum lumens-watt efficiency ratios and feature a variety of new technologies that maximize power conservation, lamp life, and optimal beam spread.

The intention here is to get more light with less power, and, when possible, get more light with fewer fixtures.

What is the importance of decoration to industrial lighting design?
That depends entirely on your business type and facility needs. If you are operating a warehouse, you obviously do not need decorative commercial lighting inside. However, it does help to promote your corporate brand to have some aesthetic appeal on your sign or building frontage. Goosenecks are very good for this, as our a number of other architectural lighting fixtures we can provide you with.

If your facility is service-oriented, then your corporate image is vital to your marketing and sales initiatives. Commercial light systems should support your building architecture and provide an attractive face to the world that will enhance your appeal to investors and clients.

You also want your interior lighting to look good to employees who tend to work better when they are surrounding by an aesthetically pleasing environment.

How do you determine where lights need to be mounted?
Industrial parking lot lighting design software calculates the necessary foot candle plots for each specific work environment and outdoor area of your commercial property. It also calculates the optimal lighting angles that will be required to produce these foot candles. Once these angles are determined, we can show your electrical contractor exactly where to mount and position each fixture we sell you.

What if I want to buy my fixtures elsewhere?
You can do that. We will sell you the industrial office lighting design plan and a list of recommended light fixtures. You can then have your local electrical contractor obtain these lights (or their equivalents) through other channels. However, if you buy the equipment from us, we give you the photometric plans for free, and we can ensure that the fixtures you purchase are indeed the best lights for the job.

Industrial Office Lighting Fixtures

No matter what type of facility you work in, you have office space of some kind in the building. Inside this space, your employees need optimal lighting for comfort and productivity.

If you purchase second-rate industrial office lighting fixtures, you could inadvertently create a negative workspace. To get the most out of your equipment, you will need to consult with experts who can a photometric plan that tell you what commercial lighting products will work best for your particular application. This plan will also show exactly how many fixtures you will need and where your electrician will have to install them.

In previous decades, people often got very tired in the workplace because of poor lighting conditions. Eye strain would cause fatigue because of the poor quality of older generation indoor fluorescent lights. These industrial lights had poor power due to older magnetic ballasts.

Also, the bulbs in those lamps contained a mixture of gases and metals that would shine a slightly yellowish glow on the room that would add to the stress of labor and task as employees work in an increasingly uncomfortable work environment.

If your industrial fluorescent lights are more than ten years in age, you may need to install a new industrial office lighting system for the betterment of your employees. Features that you need to look for in these fixtures are easy maintenance access to bulbs and ballasts.

Also, it is wise to spend a little extra money on the more energy efficient lamps. They will help you save money on operating costs by consuming less electricity, and their longer lamp life will mean fewer bulb replacements and correspondingly lower maintenance costs.

Some ceiling-mounted industrial office lighting fixtures still use the traditional tube shaped fluorescent lights. Wall mounted lights render color much better than their predecessors ever did. You no longer have to deal with that yellowish look to skin and clothing. With yellow light no longer present, eyestrain is gone as well. The brighter light these fixtures emit also helps them to work more productively.

If you choose something other than fluorescent lighting fixtures for your industrial commercial office lighting, but you still want the benefits offered by energy efficient of fluorescent bulbs, you can use traditional lights that require screw-in incandescent bulbs retrofitted with fluorescent replacements.

By replacing these incandescents with compact fluorescent light bulbs, you can lower your energy costs, and, depending upon the number of lights you replace, lower room temperatures in your office. This is due to incandescent lighting’s tendency to wastes so much energy in the form of excess heat. This can affect your air conditioner thermostat and cause your building cooling costs to rise.

Energy savings is the most important thing to think about when you are choosing your industrial office lights. You need the help of an industrial GSA lighting expert who can locate brightest of lights for the least amount of energy used. Call RLLD Commercial Lighting to get started with this process today.
