Interior Lighting Design & Designers

How does this term apply to the industrial world?
There are three types of facilities arenas in which interior lighting design is necessary: factories, warehouses, and offices. All three arenas require systems to be planned prior to the purchase of any equipment to save on energy costs, contribute to worker efficiency, and to maintain a safe work environment.

Why would an industrial firm need to think about office lighting?
Virtually every facility, no matter how devoted to manufacturing or distribution it may be, has office space of some type. Management and administration requires this separate space to oversee production and to make mission critical decisions about the company.

If we don’t have that many offices, do we need the same type of lighting that non-manufacturing corporations use?
Yes, but you probably don’t need as much because you have less square footage and fewer physical places to light. This can be good news to your pocketbook, and should also motivate you to invest in the photometric plan that will help you save in the long run. In principle, interior lighting design in your office space will follows the same principles as it does in service-oriented companies in the general corporate world at large. Your employees will have comfortable task lighting over their desks and cubes.

How can we save the most money on lighting a few executive and administrative offices?
Let an commercial interior lighting design expert help you determine the areas that really NEED special, high-quality lighting, and which areas really do not.

Foyers should have just enough ambient lighting to look professional to visitors and clients. Meeting rooms and executive office suites ought to have lighting controls that will save electricity by dimming the lights and also be able to create unique emotional states if there is a Power Point presentation or special speaker present.

Break rooms and bathrooms are the places where an architectural lighting designer can show you how to save a lot of money by using less expensive fixtures and using only enough light as is absolutely necessary in non-essential areas.

If we are running a factory, why should we spend extra money on interior lighting design when all we do is manufacture products?
You need it because the success of your manufacturing is contingent on precision, time-to-market, and safe working conditions. The quality of light in the building directly affects all of these things. Without sufficient task lighting, assembly line workers cannot see and consequently work at a noticeably slower pace. Morale tends to be rather negative too when people spend long hours at a time in dark areas.

And just how is interior lighting design so important to safety protocols?
People need certain amounts of light to do certain things. If the things they are doing may hurt them and they cannot see to do them, one major accident can shut your factory down. We are not trying to scare you with information you already know. We have all heard stories about accidents that happened around machines. Go back and look at some of these accidents and you’ll realize that some of them were directly related to poor visibility caused by bad lighting.

Save your company the liabilities and heartache with a photometric plan will show exactly how many fixtures your factory needs, where they ought to be mounted, and how they need to be positioned in order to minimize reflective glare and dispel shadows in hazardous work areas.

What will an industrial interior lighting plan do for my warehouse that general high bay lighting doesn’t already do?
General high bay and low bay lights are standard in almost every warehouse, so by no means do we mean to say here that you should stop using them. However, it may serve your interest better to look at the quality and the age of your current lights. Consider, however, how much you spend on maintaining them and operating them. You may discover that newer, more energy efficient lights engineered with longer lamp life could save money on both power and maintenance cycles.

Is there a way to get new lights and save money on more than just electricity and maintenance?
Yes. In principle, you need more light in areas where forklifts traffic cannot afford to have reflective glare from lights that are too bright or improperly mounted. You need precise levels of task light in packaging areas that cannot afford to be dark because inventory loss is likely to occur in darker areas.

In much of your storage space, break areas, bathrooms, hallways, and less traveled parts of the building, (ie: anything non-essential and non-labor intensive), we may could even reduce your lighting and save you additional money here.

Again, we have to an interior photometric lighting design analysis to see exactly what we can do for you. If you do buy equipment from us after buying the analysis, we refund the cost of the analysis and you end up with better, more efficient equipment and a more productive and safe operation at the end of the day.

What types of savings can RLLD offer its clients?
By investing a reasonable fee in an architectural lighting design plan, you gain significant savings by knowing up front exactly what you need before you mistakenly buy the wrong fixtures or buy too many fixtures. You never need to worry about over lighting an area or under lighting an area. An industrial outdoor lighting design plan is also very flexible—offering you variation in light levels based upon the actual need for light in that area. In certain areas such as warehouse loading docks, you will need brighter lighting for safety. In areas where work is not occurring, you only need general lighting for adequate visibility.

If you buy your industrial outdoor products from us, we will refund the value of the photometric design by deducting it from your equipment purchase invoice. This will also save you money on service charges.

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.
