Commercial Parking Lot Pole Installation Tips

The installation of commercial parking lot lighting poles is a systematic process that begins with the purely conceptual with the systematic and precise. This process is similar to a flowchart, with every segment depending on the segment before it, and every following segment resting on the foundation of the preceding segment. Each step along the way must be successfully completed without error, or the entire system is severely weakened and rendered ineffective.

Because of the interrelationship between the parts and the whole, the consequences of making miscalculations at any stage(s) of the installation of commercial light poles can be error multiplied by error. Mistakes like this often happen when too many vendors become involved in a project. A design source may not have access to the best commercial light poles, and the actual lighting pole vendor may not be able to seamlessly coordinate installation.

You will save yourself a tremendous amount of time and money when you obtain a turnkey outdoor commercial lighting pole installation from RLLD Commercial Lighting. Our representatives will handle the complete installation as a seamless consultation->design->procurement->installation project from start to finish, being careful to impeccably execute each of the following steps summarized below.

Idea
Your idea begins with inspiration. You visualize an outcome that is both affordable to your budget and satisfactory to your commercial lighting needs. This original idea functions as a “big picture template” that our representatives will respectfully consider as the starting point of the process.

If you consult with one of our commercial lighting pole installers who can preserve the integrity of your initial idea, and expand it according to all logistical, legal, and technically sound principles, you will be much more satisfied and see your new lighting system as something you actually helped participate in creating.

Conceptual Design
Your idea will then be expanded into a conceptual design that provides a visual model of how your lighting system will look after it has been installed. Our many years of experience working in high-end parking lot lighting design ensure you an exceptionally detailed and attractive visual piece upon the completion of this step.

Photometric Calculations
Photometric calculations specify the placement of poles, pole type, and the necessary pole height for optimal quality and quantity of light. These lighting design calculations ensure the technical and functional integrity of the conceptual design and allow us to make any necessary changes to the conceptual design prior to actual equipment purchase. They also help us narrow our focus on fixture procurement before the next stage even begins.

***Please take note of this special fact: RLLD Commercial Lighting uses some of the most sophisticated parking lot lighting design software currently on the market to develop your conceptual design and perform all photometric calculations accurately and expediently.

Fixture Specification
Certain lighting fixtures will work better than others at different heights and in different environments. As part of our turnkey commercial light pole installation service and fixture specification, we identify the types of fixtures you will need, how many we need to provide you, and what customization options you will require for optimal lighting results.

Wind Zone Research
Wherever you are in the United States, you reside within an area designated by the EPA as a “specific wind zone.” This designation refers to the speed of the wind in your area at various elevations. WIND LOAD refers to the ability of a commercial concrete lighting pole or steel light pole to safely withstand the strongest possible winds in your area without collapsing. To install the right commercial light poles, you have to know all the specifics about your particular wind zone, and you have to know how to equivocate the wind load of a pole you may be interested in buying in relationship to the specifications mandated by Federal law.

This is too much research, too much math, and too much time for your staff to cost effectively handle. As a nationwide specialist in commercial lighting pole installs, we already have this data for most parts of the country. If you live in a remote area, we can easily find it.

Local Codes/Lighting Restrictions
Your commercial lighting pole installation is also subject to local regulation. The height and fixture mount on each pole has a direct impact on the direction and intensity of the light. RLLD Commercial Lighting will ensure that you have the best possible poles that produce the best quality and quantity of light within the boundaries of local laws and area lighting restrictions.

Quote
The quote you receive from us will always represent a fair, cost-effective, and accurate estimation of multiple values. First, we build upon your idea in a technically sound manner, researching and detailing all of the technology involved to ensure its longevity, legality, and viability. Secondly, by calculating exactly how much LIGHT you need, we can show you exactly how many commercial poles and fixtures you need without wasting money or time. Consider how much more value you will gain when you receive design, research, technical calculations, equipment, and installation all from the same source. Single source means less wasted time, lower margin for error, and greater opportunity for long term return on investment.

Commercial Parking Lot Lighting

Commercial Parking Lot lights have become increasingly more regulated over the years and require expert knowledge beyond electrical expertise to properly configure and install. For many years, the bulk of regulatory codes mandated foot candle minimums for commercial parking lots lights to produce in order to make certain that parked cars were not obscured in shadows and to provide motorists with enough light to see. Over time, however, more laws were passed to minimize glare that can distract drivers and cause accidents. Then, the most recent round of legislation has now swept the nation from coast to coast, not only mandating that all commercial outdoor parking lot lights not only to produce a certain number of footcandles and a minimum amount of glare, but also more tightly regulating the direction of light itself so as to it to parking areas only without spilling into neighboring streets, homes, and businesses.

To light a commercial parking lot effectively, even with standard luminaires and light poles, often requires the contractor to precisely match features and optics to mandated parameters of a given environment. Additional factors like wind load capacities of poles and the various methods of plotting optimal footcandle levels either require a great deal of time doing math or the assistance of a vendor with access to special charts and software. By coming to us, the designer, builder, or DIY electrical contractor has the ability to save multiple steps and to obtain whatever is necessary to get the job done safely, legally, and effectively.

Expeditious Lead Time on Basic Lighting Fixtures
RLLD Commercial lighting offers over s dozens of competitively priced, standard model commercial parking lot lights. Basic designs for commercial parking lot light fixtures range from cutoff, flood, parabolic design, and aerodynamic models.

RLLD Commercial Lighting adds value to competitive price by providing the fastest lead time in the industry on shipping and delivery of standard commercial parking lot lighting equipment. This further saves time and labor costs by allowing for a quick, seamless installation of all commercial parking lot lighting equipment.

Although standard commercial parking lot lighting case studies represent the mid-range of the price spectrum, they are made with a number of optical advantages that generate precise directional lighting control. This is becoming increasingly important throughout the country as more and more municipalities pass tougher dark sky laws to prevent light pollution in parking lots and commercial centers from spilling into roadways and neighboring homes. By working with a vendor such as RLLD Commercial Lighting architects, designers, builders, and electricians obtain the additional benefit of complimentary, expert knowledge on whether or not a particular luminaire will prove compliant to the standards of the proposed location in any given community.

Specification Grade Commercial Parking Lot Lights
