Commercial Vandalproof Lighting Fixtures

In parts of the city where accidental impact or deliberate criminal mischief can shatter overhead lights. To circumvent these activities ceiling mounted lights or vandal proof lighting fixtures offer a form of lighting whose higher impact and scratch resistance makes them extremely difficult to break, disable, or destroy. Vandal proof, ceiling mount lighting offers libraries, public buildings, academic institutions, shopping malls, and indoor apartments and churches a long-term, reliable source of illumination that requires only occasional maintenance. Most of these commercial ceiling mount lights also feature significant improvements in thermal management and energy conservation as well, making it possible for them to significantly lower your clientʼs light bill.

These three factors, then, represent critical points of value to share with reluctant clients: longer life, impact resistance, and power savings. These attributes make metal halide vandal proof ceiling mount light fixtures ideal for clients who are hesitant to invest in something they truly need to curb the rising costs of operations. Showing an organization documentation of potentially reduced electrical costs, and showing them as well how many years the fixtures can be expected to last without having to be replaced, can often tip the scales in favor of closing the deal. Your clients will see the math clearly laid out on the table, and how the lights will pay for themselves over time.

Residential Landscape Lighting and Design further ensures fixture life not only with vandal proof engineering, but also commercial lighting manufacturer warranties back up in writing. Every canopy mount ceiling light in our inventory is a commercial or specification grade luminaire made in the USA. There are no fixtures, lamps, or mounts from any place overseas. Clients who are tempted to run down to the hardware store and buy vandal proof commercial light fixtures and have the electrician on staff install them donʼt have to shortchange themselves like this. With our equipment, they can be fully assured that a onetime investment will carry itself through the recession and them along with it.

Residential Landscape Lighting and Design offers several distinctive types of commercial vandal proof ceiling mount lights, giving you the freedom to precisely match fixture type to client need. Our lighting experts will help you determine which fixture types, wattages, and lamp options best meet the needs of your client by performing a full photometric analysis of your clientʼs location. This visual is drafted using some of the worldʼs most advanced lighting design software and provides an excellent visual to lay alongside of your proposal. It shows optimal foot candle minimums that have to be generated by the commercial ceiling lights you install, how many fixtures you will need, and what the best lamping options are for those fixtures.

Why not let a commercial lighting designer assist you on your next project? While there is a fee for every analysis, all contractors who buy equipment from us will have that cost deducted in full from the purchase order.

High Bay Lighting Fixtures

RLLD will perform a full photometric analysis of your clientʼs site in order to help you determine the very best fixture types, mounts, and lamps you need to service their requirements. This helps us better determine which high bay lights will best meet the needs of your client. Contractors installing high bay lights in warehouses and factories can find a wide range of fixture manufacture and lamping options through RLLD Commercial Lighting. We are a virtual lighting agency operating nationwide holding multiple representative relationships with major American light fixture manufacturers. Because we are held to know quotas by our manufacturer/partners, we maintain an objective stance toward the many type of High bay light fixture we can equip your proposal with.

Rather than attempting to convince you that a certain manufacturer and model is what you need, we help you find out what lighting levels and optic requirements you need to fulfill first, and then we let you select what is in your best interest from a list of high bay lighting fixtures we recommend.

The advantage this offers the contractor is twofold. First, you have freedom of choice when you work with us and can combine your own expertise in commercial warehouse lighting fixture selection with our expertise in finding the equipment. Because we rely upon a nationwide network of distribution channels, we can find parts in stock when other vendors are suffering from a shortage, and we have earned the respect of manufacturers over the years to the extent that if you need something like high bay or low bay lights shipped ASAP to your clientʼs site, we can almost always get it there in a couple of weeks as opposed to six weeks to 90 days. Even better, the high bay and other light fixtures we sell are exclusively made in the USA and backed in writing by full manufacturer warranties. These are two very important qualities to talk about with your clients to assure them that the money you are recommending they spend is well invested in the best equipment in the world.

We sell high bay lights that are designed for both heavy duty industrial lighting and more detail oriented general, warehouse lighting and task lighting that requires a high color rendering index. RLLD Commercial Lighting offers fluorescent high bays with sophisticated electronic ballasts and exceptional color rendering capability. These fixtures can reduce power bills by as much as 40%, effectively paying for themselves in the process. You may also need fluorescent high bay lights for certain industrial clients, regardless. Metal halide lights may be too bright for some workersʼ eyes, and even if they are not, tend to render color rather poorly. Assembly line work is very tedious and is very hard to ergonomically accomplish under the yellowish tint of high pressure sodium lights. Most manufacturers in these environments are starting to prefer fluorescent high bay fixtures. , they have found fluorescent high bay lights to produce a better, more comfortable illumination that is easier on assembly workersʼ eyes because it is softer, more diffused, and renders color at levels closely approximating natural light.

If you are planning to install a lighting system for a municipal civic center with an outdoor pavilion, we have high pressure sodium lights that will provide excellent lighting for nighttime entertainment and provide the additional benefit of repelling insects. Gyms in academic institutions, churches, and health clubs tend to favor the white light of metal halide high bay lights. If you are looking to install fixtures in one of these places, be sure to mention pulse start metal halide technology which is one of our newest additions to our inventory.

If you have any questions about any of the Focus products we offer, do not hesitate to give us a call at 1-800-239-2939. Our experienced lighting experts are happy to answer any questions you may have, and help you choose the right products for your application.

Commercial Lighting Products

The quality of the commercial or industrial light fixtures that you install for your clients matters now more than it ever has. Because we are now in a recession, companies that invest in replacements or upgrades intend to stretch their dollar as far as it can possibly go. Sometimes a business may have already done a bit of homework on the type of commercial lighting products they require, and may have simply contacted you to do the install. This is all well and good if they have a reputable source of quality products. However, if they plan on buying imported commercial warehouse lights, or going down to the hardware store to obtain retail grade materials at cheaper, they will not fare so well in the long run.

This is because there are problems associated with foreign-manufactured commercial lighting poles and fixtures with retail commercial lighting products. Foreign-made light fixtures may claim to be commercial grade in quality, but may actually not be. And, even if they are, other governments have different technical and quality assurance standards than our own. Even if the fixture is compatible with US-made technology, you have no guarantee of quality assurance. When the product fails, there is often no warranty on the product either, leaving your client in the dark until another invoice is generated and stagnate your clientʼs revenue stream with replacement costs and added labor.

It is far better to invest from the beginning in commercial lighting hardware that will do what they are supposed to do, as declared by the manufacturer and backed up by a warranty in writing. This level of performance and guarantee is best obtained through products made in the U.S.A by reputable American manufacturers who even now are working to improve existing light fixture technology for greater ergonomics, energy savings, safety, and aesthetics.

This is why Residential Landscape Lighting and Design represents only those manufactures who headquarter in the United States AND manufacture their products here in the United States.

No outsourcing is used in the production of this our cycle.

When offer your clients commercial lighting products at this level of quality, you can promise with confidence a number of tangible financial returns on their investment through the proper installation and use of these products.

Improved Safety Results from U.S.-manufactured outdoor lighting fixtures
Parking lots and parking garages are two areas where people leaving work after the sun goes down are often attacked. They are also targets for vandalism and car burglaries frequently occur. Upgrading the lighting system in both of these locations with commercial parking lot lighting products that feature the latest in glare shielding, optical performance, and light directional control will improve visibility foot candle levels in these areas and simultaneously reduces light pollution into surrounding neighborhoods and streets.

Ask one of our experts about having a photometric analysis done of your clientʼs site, and we will show you exactly how this can be done.

Ergonomics
Better interior lights will improve ergonomics and often contribute toward a more positive among employees. Many factories are now using fluorescent lights with electronic ballasts that produce a high level of light and superior color rendering at 40% less. Fluorescent low bays are a favorite commercial lighting product for assembly line work because of the high CRI they offer, making assembly of small parts less a strain on the eyes. Larger warehouses and factories that need high bay lights can also benefit from HID fixtures with pulse start technology. Interior office lights, commercial work lights and ceiling lights can also now be done with low voltage halogen, LED, and fluorescent fixtures that replace incandescent with more comfortable and controllable levels of light and more precise lighting effects.

ROI through Power Conservation
This last point brings us to our next: ROI through lower power bills. The more efficient the commercial lighting products are, the faster they pay for themselves by saving on the electric bill month after month. An added bonus to this is that most energy efficient fixtures enjoy a very long lamp life, so they will certainly be around when the cost of purchasing them has been offset by subsequent savings. RLLD products are intended to put money back into your clientʼs pockets in this fashion and to contribute to nationwide efforts to develop more environmentally technology pursuant to reversing global climate change.

Commercial LEDs

Under Cabinet Lighting

Residential Landscape Lighting and Design furnishes commercial contractors and lighting designers with a comprehensive types of under cabinet lights and under cabinet lighting accessories. Every one of our cabinet lighting fixtures is made in the United States and will be drop shipped to any place in the country. This one source convenience allows architects and builders to rely upon RLLD as the supply house for any task or accent lights in kitchens, displays, cabinets, and work areas. As energy costs continue to skyrocket, many contractors also come to RLLD for innovative power saving technology. Fluorescent under cabinet lights are more sophisticated and energy efficient than ever before. Halogen fixtures emit some of the brightest, glare free light available. Incandescent and xenon fixtures can produce lighting at a luxury level of quality, and LED under cabinet lighting brings both task and decorative lighting fully into the 21st century.

Fluorescent Under Cabinet Lighting
RLLD maintains full inventory of standard commercial grade and specification grade fluorescent under cabinet lighting fixtures. These lights are regulated by electronic ballasts that produce a smoother flow of energy to the lamp and strictly regulate its consumption. This makes fluorescent under cabinet lighting among of the most energy efficient “high voltage” sources of indoor accent and functional illumination. If you are preparing a proposal for a client who has retail grade fluorescent cabinet lights, or who has extremely old fluorescent fixtures, recommend replacing them as soon as possible. Older magnetic ballasts or retail grade fluorescent fixtures manufactured overseas may begin to flicker or render color with a “yellowish” tint that ruins the aesthetics and can even cause headaches. Replacing these inferior and outdated lights with RLLD specification grade under cabinet fluorescent fixtures will significantly improve ergonomic color rendering, aesthetics, and employee comfort. RLLD fluorescent under cabinet lights are also a favorite among builders and contractors working on new apartments, town homes, and condominium communities.

Halogen Under Cabinet Lights
Halogen under cabinet light fixtures create some of the most powerful kitchen lighting solutions on the market. They are fully dimmable, and they provide cooks and hosts full control over brightness levels without detracting from decorative kitchen elements or food preparation. Cooking clubs normally prefer halogen under cabinet lighting for this very reason. If your client prefers an under cabinet puck light, recommend an RLLD low voltage unit. These fully dimmable pucks emit some of the brightest glare free lighting available on the market. This is due to a special frosting on the lens that produces a smooth distribution of bright light throughout the room.

Xenon Undercabinet Lighting
Xenon under cabinet lights provide a luxury level of illumination for residential and commercial clients. The most well known benefit of xenon under cabinet lighting is the combination of bright white light and long bulb life these versatile lamps offer. Xenon under cabinet lamps normally last three times longer than halogen lamps and emit no ultraviolet radiation. For businesses who need puck lights in work areas that are poorly air-conditioned, our low voltage xenon under cabinet puck lights shield workers from excess heat with special heat resistant plastic housing that keeps temperatures to a minimum and helps reduce HVAC costs.

LED Under Cabinet Lighting
Using the world’s most sophisticated lighting technology, LED under cabinet fixtures require only 20% the power required by other forms of light. This is an added value for any business seeking LEED certification, and for the contractor proactive enough to recommend this technology as a key means to obtaining it. Like xenon cabinet lights, LED under cabinet lighting is 100% UV free, but the bulb life of an LED averages around 60,000 hours. LED under cabinet lights provide the very best glare reduction and use only 1-watt of power. Because they diode semiconductors to produce light, neither high voltage nor low voltage under cabinet LED lights require any additional heat shielding or ventilation. RLLD even has LED under cabinet lights with special radial lenses and prismatic covers that brilliantly distribute light over work surfaces, and we just recently added LED illuminated shelves that combine under cabinet lights cabinet shelving itself.

Low Voltage Under Cabinet Lighting
If your client is still a little hesitant to invest in LED kitchen under cabinet lighting for whatever reason, we can still save them an enormous amount of money by fitting incandescent or xenon lamps to low voltage under cabinet lighting strips or puck lighting fixtures. This reduces power consumption and will often extend bulb life up to 8,000 hours. Clients on strict maintenance budgets should be encouraged to go with low voltage under cabinet lights because they will significantly reduce replacement costs. Low voltage under cabinet lights combines brighter illumination with lower bills, and halogen puck lighting designed with aesthetics in mind proves an ideal match for virtually any decorative display in the home, in the office, or even the conference room.
