Commercial Electric Lighting fixtures can either be high intensity discharge lights for parking, landscape, and security lighting, or they can be architectural building that minimize power consumption and highly the most important features of buildings without overpowering the aesthetic with too much visible equipment. Having a photometric analysis performed on your client's site first will help you determine which commercial electric lighting fixtures should be purchase, the specific number of luminaires you will need, and where best to mount them to minimize glare and light trespass. Having this analysis done for you by RLLD Commercial Lighting will greatly reduce the problematics and guesswork involved in selecting fixture type, wattages, and manufacturer brand. It also passes on savings to your client who will be much more inclined to accept a proposal that reduces the overall wattage of the system in total and minimizes as well the actual number of commercial electric lighting fixtures used to illuminate the facility.



This is now possible because newly engineered fixture designs have made it possible to produce more lumens with fewer watts. Most of the lights installed in commercial properties these days operate at 250 watts or less. Dark sky laws in many cities now mandate a maximum wattage of no more than 250 watts, so proposing newer fixtures of this type to a client not only offers them the promise of lower power bills, but also ensures compliance with local lighting codes. RLLD Commercial Lighting provides a full selection of HID commercial electric lighting fixtures for every outdoor lighting application.

Parking Lot Lighting

Full cutoff parking lot lights from leading US manufacturers feature the latest improvements in optics and reflector technology. These commercial electric lighting fixtures are engineered specifically with dark sky compliance and energy savings in mind. Combining lower wattage and state of the art, glare free, directional lighting control, these parking lot lights will generate higher footcandle levels with less power. They allow you to both upgrade the quality of lighting in your client's lot and significantly reduce commercial electric bills at the same time.

Landscape and Security Lighting

The best landscape lighting systems normally use both high voltage and low voltage commercial electric lights. The mounting locations and types of luminaires used varies greatly on the terrain and general size of the property, so there is consequently no hard fast set of commercial electric lighting choices to which the landscape lighting designer is limited. A few general rules do apply, however, when it comes to outdoor security lighting. The larger a client's property is, the more it will have dark areas covered by shadows. Floodlights controlled by motion detectors will dispel these areas of darkness if an intruder is sensed by the automated system. They will remain on only long enough to discourage an intruder, and to give security time to respond. This is an excellent way to both protect your client's property and implement a very energy efficient form of commercial electric lighting that only operates when needed.

Parking Garage Lighting

RLLD Commercial Lighting has a wide selection of electric lighting fixtures that are engineered for parking garage lighting. These fixtures are available in HID and fluorescent models and are intended for lighting both horizontal floor space and the vertical cube. The importance of vertical footcandle levels cannot be emphasized enough. Motorists require vertical lighting for proper depth perception and navigation around obstructions such as columns and barricades.

A photometric analysis will quickly reveal potential problem areas in your client's parking garage. The goal to aim for is not to flood the facility with bright light, but rather to create clear contrast between objects, driving lanes, guard rails, parking spots, and other vehicles. By charting out this information first, we can help you create select your fixtures with greater precision and find the best angle of incidence of installing them within the facility.

Architectural Building Lights

Lighting a group of corporate buildings may intimidate your clients if they assume that a large number of commercial electric lighting fixtures will be needed to illuminate the structure. Again, as in the case with landscape lights and parking garage lighting, the number of actual fixtures has less to do with the outcome than the positioning and type of commercial electric lights you install. Fluorescent wall packs, canopy lights, and sign lights can be used to highlight the most important features on a building and provide visibility for pedestrian traffic around the building at night. Many of these low voltage and highly energy efficient commercial electric lights can reduce power costs for your client by as much as 40%.

All of commercial electric lighting products we sell are made here in the U.S.A. As a matter of policy, we work only with major American manufactures on a non-quota, non-partial distributor basis. This means we have the freedom to recommend whatever equipment that is most appropriate to your project without having to show preference to a particular brand or fixture type. Every commercial lighting fixture is backed up by a manufacturer's written warranty. We also refund the cost of your photometric analysis in full at the time of your equipment purchase, and we provide ongoing support over the phone from our team of electrical and commercial lighting design specialists.
