There are many different types of industries that need industrial lighting.  Manufacturing facilities require specific types of industrial lighting to illuminate their exterior grounds, their indoor shipping and receiving bays, and their production areas.  They are critical to task lighting that workers need to safely operate machinery and assemble parts.

Warehousing and distribution operations need reliable, efficient fixtures characterized by ease of maintenance and long life.  Both vehicle traffic and pedestrian safety depend on these commercial indoor lighting systems for safe and successful inventory control and time-to-market delivery.

Retailers, both in small strip centers, and in the larger shopping malls and factory outlet districts, need the very best parking lot lights, mounts, and poles to ensure the safety of their customers and compliance with regulations that govern both foot candle levels and wind resistance.  Parking garages require special intensities and configurations of lights in order to evenly illuminate winding aisles of up and down drive ramps without creating glare that will blind the eyes of motorists. 

Roadways also require street lights that produce appropriate levels of glare free light so people can safely navigate thoroughfares at night.  Such a roadway can be a city street, a county highway, or it can be a private drive that runs through a corporate office park, municipal district, or college campus.

Industrial lighting equipment varies in function, intensity, and design based upon where this equipment is used.  High bay and low bay lights are used mostly in factories and warehouses to provide illumination for manufacturing and storage areas.  They have also made significant inroads into sports lighting with new metal halide technology that makes them ideal for lighting gymnasiums.

A variety of wall mounted fixtures are needed for outdoor building lighting and security lighting.  Such fixtures can be both decorative and highly energy efficient if manufactured by American companies who stand behind their work and provide multiple size, trim, and color options to match fixture to architecture and intended use.

Floodlights are critical to industrial lighting for security.  A variety of new reflectors and lamps have emerged with the advent of pulse start MH technology.   This new technology features higher light levels, better beam spread, lower power costs, and shorter startup time. 

Parking lot lights rank among the most important types of outdoor architectural lights.  Trusted US Manufacturers create a multitude of intensities and reflector types that can distribute foot candles in many different patterns and levels of intensity appropriate to location and size of the parking lot.  Lighting poles, particularly galvanized steel lighting poles, are often critical to the optimal performance of these fixtures and should also be purchased from American manufacturers through a design-vendor firm such as RLLD Commercial Lighting. 

In order to offer unique and legitimate value to our clients, RLLD must approach industrial lighting from the standpoint both designing and building systems that will address several major concerns at once.  To begin with, these systems must produce the desired amount of light in order to evenly illuminate building exteriors and interiors so that security remains inviolate and working conditions remain safe and optimal for profitable production.  We work very hard to create configurations that produce as much light as possible with as little power as possible.   This balance between luminance and power consumed is called the lumens per watt ratio, and it is the foremost concern of every serious lighting design firm such as ours.  

In all honesty, it is safe to say that the very best commercial & industrial lighting fixtures are American-made luminaires that are engineered with higher lumens per watt ratios.  These lights can be trusted to use only so much power in the performance of their task.  The investment in operating these lights over time will be returned to the organization through the production and profits they assist in generating by creating a safer and more efficient work environment.
