Commercial Sign Lighting

Many contractors, sole proprietor lighting design consultants, and do it yourself landscapers often fail to include sign lights in their commercial lighting systems.  Many times this is because they misperceive them as an unnecessary expense.  Actually, commercial sign lights are extremely important and a wise investment that brings many returns.  These lights will advertise a brand throughout all hours of the night, making a strong unconscious impression on the minds of passing motorists and pedestrians that see it from the road.  In many industries such as retail and hospitality, the sign is an absolute necessity because it serves not only as a branding tool, but also as a magnet that draws people in.  Commercial sign lighting in these environments has to be energy efficient because fixtures remain on for at least 6-8 hours on the average every night.  Commercial sign lights must also be able to weather the elements without the quality of light degrading over time.  It is also wise to use fixtures that not only compliment the size of the sign, but also match its color scheme and position in order to create a truly seamless fit, as the whole purpose of sign lighting is to highlight the colors and lettering without drawing attention to lighting equipment.

Commercial sign lighting fixtures by RLL Design offer a number of competitive advantages that can help you achieve the three musts of commercial sign lighting: proper distance, correct angle of incidence, and intensity of lighting itself.  This inventory offers a great deal of freedom for both the do it yourself installer and the seasoned veteran of lighting design.  Many signs sit atop buildings on strut supports similar to billboards.  Others mount high on poles, while others resemble monuments in the ground that mark the entrance to a government office, restaurant, hotel, commercial headquarters, or industrial warehouse.  Many industrial companies also brand their warehouse or factory with lettering on the side of the building itself, effectively turning the structure itself into a sign.  Commercial sign lighting here must produce an exceptional vertical foot-candle print without consuming too much energy.  By making a variety of commercial sign light styles and models available, RLL Design allows contractors and business owners to match exact fixtures to the many building types and sign designs found throughout any given community.  Angled reflectors and gooseneck style fixtures come with a variety of accessory mounts so they can be custom mounted to virtually any surface at optimal distance to produce optimal foot-candle levels for clear visibility from roadways and parking lots.  They also feature specially sealed lenses to protect lamps from water and dirt intrusion. 

In order to make commercial sign lighting not only brand competitive, but also cost conscious from the standpoint of obtaining a return on investment, it is essential that you first carefully consider just how much voltage and wattage you actually need to light your commercial sign.  Most do it yourselfers, regardless of experience or knowledge, often overestimate in order to make certain they have adequate levels of light.  This tends to run up a high power bill, and it also often results in a service call to a professional that has to retrofit equipment with a higher energy rating.  With RLLD, this is never a concern.  One of the many benefits both professionals and end users can expect from us is energy savings across the board.   For commercial sign lights that require incandescent-based lamps, we carry low voltage fixtures in models that minimize power consumption during extended hours of use.  Additionally, our experts also look for ways to equip commercial sign lighting fixtures with fluorescent and LED lamps whenever possible. This is a very important service we provide that helps strictly budgeted clients make the most of their dollars.  Organizations such as non-profit entities, small municipality government buildings, and schools can benefit greatly from fluorescent, LED, and low voltage specialty commercial sign lights.

One final benefit that government, corporate, small business, retail, and academic clients can also trust RLLD to deliver is reduced maintenance costs.  Although many commercial sign lighting fixtures are comparatively small and feature sophisticated lamping and wiring technology, precision o-ring sealed lenses protect lamps from dust and water ingress.  Both gooseneck and angled reflector fixtures are protected by a chromate conversion process and polyester powder coat finish to make RLLD commercial sign lights super corrosion resistant.  Commercial designers working in salt air environments, humid climates, and heavily polluted areas can assure their clients that a one time investment in gooseneck or angled reflector sign lights can keep their brand clearly visible and economically lit for many years to come.
