RLLD Commercial Lighting offers a comprehensive selection of indoor
and outdoor commercial lighting supplies to contractors, builders, architects,
and designers.All of our lighting
fixtures and accessories are made exclusively in the United States by
established and reputable manufacturers.Our products are either standard commercial grade or specification grade
lighting fixtures, lamps, poles, mounts, and other accessories.This allows the commercial lighting
contractor to rely upon RLLD Commercial Lighting as a single point of
procurement.We have no quotas to
fill with any specific manufacturer or product, and thus enjoy an impartial
distributor relationship with multiple manufacturers.Commercial lighting designers can trust
us to supply them with equipment they need to buy for their clients, not that we
need to sell for ourselves.This gives the contactor more freedom of choice and the client more
options to choose from.
In many respects, you might say that RLLD Commercial
Lighting is a virtual lighting agency.Unlike many competing entities that are entrenched in brick and mortar
and limited to specific geographic regions, we have unlimited supply and
distribution network that stretches from Coast to Coast.We deliberately restrict our offerings
to American-made products, however.We believe in supporting American industry, and we are convinced that
United States still manufacturers the very best commercial lighting supplies
found anywhere in the world.This
allows us to pull stock from a number of key geographic centers and fast track
commercial lighting supply orders in as little as 2 weeks.Contrast this to the industry standard
4-6 week delivery time, and you can clearly see the advantage of working with a
virtual lighting agency whose expedited drop shipping gives the contractor the
power only to propose, but to deliver.
Contractors who operate only in specific areas often encounter parts
shortages at the worst possible times.In regions of the country where light fixture regulations and dark sky
laws suddenly change, the unavailability of the best commercial lighting
supplies can cost a company a bid.Brick and mortar distributors in these areas usually cannot help because
they are limited by the same geography and suffer from the same parts shortage
themselves.Contacting manufacturer
agents on a state or regional level often does little to improve the situation
either.These agents are usually
loyal to one or two major manufacturers and are going to take advantage of the
contractor’s desperation by pushing only the commercial lighting supplies their
representative distributorship is paid commissions and bonuses to source.This limits the proposal to someone
else’s profit margin, and it serves neither the lighting designer nor the client
at the end of the day.
RLLD Commercial Lighting strives to break the proposal free of such
limitations.Not only do we
maintain an impartial stance toward manufacturers during the procurement
process, but before we even invoice a purchase order, we take an active role in
planning, consultation, and systematic site analysis.We offer every commercial lighting
contractor a free photometric analysis of the client’s location.We detail necessary light levels in
order to ensure compliance with mandatory foot candle requirements, and we
recommend locations for fixture placements that will contain illumination within
the boundaries established by dark sky laws and restrictions on glare.This gives the contractor not only the
advantage of being able to pick and choose from any number oftop-brand manufacturers, but it also
cuts the time of fixture selection by more than half.The client has an easy to read, visual
reference at the end of this process which makes winning the final bid a matter
of simple demonstration rather than strenuous persuasion.

wide variety of industrial & commercial lighting fixtures. If you can not
