The best way to select the best wall packs for your client is to have RLLD conduct a detailed photometric analysis of your clientʼs building. We have purchased some of the worldʼs most sophisticated lighting design software that will enable us to calculate the necessary foot-candle density around the building, the lumens per watt efficiency required to keep your client in compliance with local lighting codes, and the economic stress relief that more efficient fixtures will have on your clientʼs energy bill.

By calculating these things first, we will help you narrow down the options to the wall packs that most fit the criteria determined by the analysis. The majority of our wall packs are designed with the deliberate intention of creating security lighting or safety lighting around a building. Any industrial client or distribution center you are working for will want to know how these fixtures can keep their facility safe from intrusion and vandalism. Other clients, such as those public centers with a great deal of nighttime pedestrian traffic, are going to need wall packs that illuminate walkways for people to better see. Still other organizations may want simple decorative lighting around the building, and wall packs can provide a very ambient and cost effective lighting source to this effect.

Finding high pressure sodium wall packs is never hard because they appear to be everywhere. However, finding the one that right wall pack for your client may be a different matter altogether. Our staff is always happy to go over the photometric analysis with members of your team and present multiple options for you to pass on to your clients. In this sense, we function as an adjunct consulting service as well as an equipment vendor.

All of our wall packs are energy efficient. The ever popular metal halide lamp can now be obtained in pulse start technology, allowing an MH wall pack to instantly power on whereas in the past it took a few moments to fully illuminate. This enables you to integrate your clientʼs wall packs into motion sensors that will turn on the lights that are attached to the building in addition to the flood lights around the building.

We also sell zero sight line metal halide wall packs. These are sometimes necessary to prevent the beams from your fixtures from being seen above the roof of your building. If you are uncertain as to the nature of dark sky laws in your clientʼs community, do not call city hall. Call us, and we will research local lighting regulations in detail for you.

All wall packs are made in the USA and backed up in full by written manufacturer warranties. Additionally, we obtain our round wall packs from a number of impartial manufacturers, not a single source. This means we have no obligatory quotas to meet and no hidden agendas in what we propose as the best possible fixtures for your client. Our recommendations made objectively and are not based upon preference for a particular manufacturer or style of fixture, but rather on the basis of determining what is best for you and your client.

Because we can obtain so many different types of wall packs from so many sources, you will not have to wait on parts to arrive when you obtain them from RLLD Commercial Lighting. Our special relationships with American manufacturers enable us to have your wall packs drop shipped ASAP directly to your clientʼs location without having to pass through third party distribution channels. This can take as much as a month from standard lead time.

It is also much more easy to use RLLD Commercial Lighting as a streamlined channel through which you can obtain different models, wattages, and lamp options from two or more different manufacturers on a single purchase order.

Commercial wall packs are surface mount light fixtures that install on the sides of a building. Wall packs are manufactured from cast aluminum housing, contain a ballast, a lamp, and a glass refractor lens that distributes illumination. Wallpacks come in both traditional styles as well as more high performance, glare free cut off type wallpack models for dark sky areas.

Most contractors prefer to install 175 watt metal halide wall packs around their clientsʼ buildings. RLLD Commercial Lighting also carries a full range of additional wattages, including the popular 400 watt high pressure sodium wall pack fixture, and specialty wattages in 35, 70, 100, 175, and 250 watts. All RLLD Commercial Lighting wall pack fixtures are manufactured in the USA, and the bulk of these lights have multi-tap ballasts that operate at 120, 208, 277, and 480 volts.

As most contractors already know, commercial wall packs are the most popular outdoor flood lights in commercial lighting today. Several new developments have diversified them now more than ever.

Restrike technology in MH fixtures
With the advent of new quartz restrike technology in round MH wall pack fixtures, you can now wire them to motion sensors and light up the entire wall when a possible intrusion is detected. This can be an invaluable negotiating point for you when you are dealing with a client on a tight budget, such as a non-profit, a school, a church, or a government building. Even though the expenditure of new lights may be a bit overwhelming at first glance, the added security that motion controlled wall packs can offer their building helps buffer the facility against the staggering losses caused by property crime.

Zero site line optics
Another wall pack fixture we are beginning to sell more and more of is the zero site line wall pack. In cities where dark sky laws strictly prohibit illumination from rising above the roof of the building, these fixtures are ideal security lights that simultaneously keep your client in full compliance with lighting regulatory codes. Zero site line high pressure sodium wall packs are made with forward throw optics and solid tops that prevent the light from shining into the sky. You see a great deal of these now in California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado.

If you do are not familiar with the lighting regulations are in your clientʼs community, do not waste time tracking down city officials or attorneys. Ask an expert at RLLD. One of the many consultative support services we perform is lighting code and dark sky research. If you are committed to working with us, we will find out if the full details of the lighting regulations in your clientʼs area and inform you of which wall pack fixtures you can and cannot install on their building.

Fluorescent Lamps
We also have scores of new wall packs with fluorescent lamps intended to slash operating costs for clients on a limited operating budget. Fluorescents are an ideal light source in areas that are very concerned about light pollution. They diffuse the light to softer levels that are easier on the eyes but nonetheless maintain an effective, even spread of illumination around the building.

Each contractor who does business with us also receives a full photometric analysis of the clientʼs site to help determine foot candle requirements, fixture positioning, locations, mounting options, the number of fixtures, and the most appropriate type of lamp to use. The cost of the analysis will be subtracted in full from your purchase order at the time of your equipment purchase.

Also, RLLD gives you access to thousands of commercial fluorescent light fixtures from many different American manufacturers. None of our equipment is made overseas.

As home square footage has increased over the past 40 years, kitchen sizes have also increased. Todayʼs kitchen is more than a food preparation and storage center. It is a hub for social activities that requires both decorative and functional illumination to support the activities of the host and accommodate the sensibilities of guests. Central ceiling lights are no longer adequate for these requirements, so other task and decorative light sources must be installed by the builder in order to fill the room with light and add whatever aesthetic touches are necessary to compliment the environment.

One superb source of decorative home lighting is kitchen cabinet lighting. Kitchen cabinet lights can be installed over the cabinet, under the cabinet, or even inside of kitchen cabinets as general lighting sources. There are a four major cabinet lighting fixture types, each offering a wide range of models to choose from and customization options and accessories that contractors can use to compliment custom interior architecture and complex interior lighting designs.

As much as possible, kitchen cabinet light fixtures should either blend into their surroundings or maintain a low profile so as not to disrupt the surrounding decorating theme. It is also advisable to use kitchen undercabinet light fixtures that are dimmable, as most homeowners want to have control over the levels of light these fixtures produce. Some residents even like to leave their kitchen under cabinet or over cabinet lights on throughout the night, dimmed to low settings, to function as accent nightlights. If the homeowner intends to do this, you should install low voltage fixtures so they can use their lights freely without exorbitant power costs.

Rope Lights
Rope lights over kitchen cabinets are a good way to light kitchen soffits in smaller kitchens, kitchens in lofts, small commercial kitchens in break rooms, and mid-sized homes in suburban areas where livability is preferred above sheik decorum. They can also be installed in very creative ways as under the cabinet lights. LED rope lights are extremely energy efficient and consume a negligible amount of power. They are also inexpensive in terms of front end costs and easy to install.

Puck Lights
If only a portion of the counter under the cabinet needs light, you donʼt want to use rope lights in a series or even linear strips. Decorative puck lights with finishes and fixture designs that compliment kitchen cabinetry and countertops can offer a centered, bright source of down light over countertops.

Puck lights are also great in-cabinet light fixtures which can be used in larger cabinets and pantries to illuminate contents and provide general lighting for cookware, food, and supplies.

Recessed Lights
Recessed kitchen cabinet lighting adds an eclectic design element to kitchen decorum. If you are building a home or office kitchen with an ultra modern theme, you probably want to go with recessed lights or under the cabinet light fixtures. Because they permanently install into the cabinet, they are more unobtrusive and offer a wide range of lamping options as well, including halogen for bright white light and fluorescent for energy efficient lighting.

Linear Lighting Strips
Linear lights are perhaps the most versatile and flexible of all kitchen cabinet lighting fixtures that you can install in both commercial and residential new constructions. Power-saving LED lights strips and fluorescent under cabinet fixtures save business and homeowners money by reducing electrical usage without compromising light levels or quality. Custom linear lighting strips by Phantom can be adapted to any under cabinet or over cabinet surface and can even be installed as cove lights in custom kitchen ceilings.

Linear lights strips can be manufactured with incandescent, fluorescent, xenon, or LED bulbs for various energy saving needs and/or decorative lighting effects.

Accessories
Everything you require for customizing your order can be purchased from Residential Landscape Lighting and Design. Festoon lamps, fuses, replacement lighting bulbs, circuit breakers, connector and terminal kits, and many more accent lighting supplies can be ordered online or from a specialist when you call in.

Improved illumination creates a more positive and focused office environment. It helps improve employee morale, and it contributes to increased productivity. Of course, many businesses may feel that now is not the best time to spend money on a comprehensive overhaul of their interior lighting system. For companies who are hesitant to invest in a completely new interior lighting system, commercial recessed fluorescent lights offer an affordable enhancement to the existing general lighting system that represents a safe-bet investment in a sluggish market place and also helps to reduce liability and improve general safety.

A certain number of foot-candles are needed within a building so people can clearly see what they are doing and where they are going. Pockets of shadow or low levels of light represent areas where employees can injure themselves or suffer from eye strain due to insufficient light. Commercial recessed down lights are an effective source and affordable source of enhanced illumination in these. Reducing the risk of injury or work-related physical stress helps decrease the potential liability for an organization with substandard levels of lighting. Something as simple as installing a few commercial recessed electric lights could potentially qualify a company for reduced commercial liability insurance rates. This depends upon the insurance carrier, of course, and if possible, will probably require some very extensive documentation such as a photometric analysis to show where the improvements have been made.

Recessed electric light fixtures are also an excellent source of accent lighting in commercial interiors. Meeting rooms and foyers are the two most rooms that every company should spend the money to literally put in the best possible light. Recessed electric lighting fixtures in these rooms can be wired to dimmer controls that allow for the light to be set to appropriate levels for different events. Speeches, sales presentations, private meetings, and even video conferencing can all benefit from the flexible and controlled illumination produced by commercial recessed ceiling light fixtures.

To choose fixture specifics such as housings, trims, and lamp types, it is best to first quantify floor and vertical cube space, and to spend as much time as necessary to interface with clients to learn the key activities that represent their business model and what type of light fixtures will best support those activities. This information can then be passed on to an RLLD lighting specialist who can this data using sophisticated design software that generates a comprehensive photometric analysis of the clientʼs interior office space. This photometric assessment depicts a point by point, room by room breakdown of required levels of lighting and optimal locations for general and accent lighting fixture placement. Knowing these two details helps the contractor determine exactly how many recessed electric lighting fixtures are actually needed, and which housings, trims, and lamp types will best meet the requirements of the proposed installation.

For ceilings that cannot be cut due to restrictions in the commercial lease, retrofit recessed light fixtures may be the best way to go. Smaller companies who feel the pain of investing even in a few new ceiling lights can be reassured with the promise of lowering electric bills with low voltage recessed fixtures. Unique interior architecture such as sloped ceilings can also be accommodated with special recessed electrical light fixtures made just for such interiors.

These are just a few examples of the range of options available through RLLDʼs online inventory and supply house. We offer contractors an enormous diversity of commercial recessed electrical lighting lamps, housings, and trims that combine unobtrusiveness with flexibility. All equipment is American made here in the United States and drop shipped directly to the clientʼs location unless otherwise requested. Photometric analysis and adjunct consultation services are free to clients and serious inquirers, and consultations services are available for a reasonable fee for contractors seeking expert advice on an as-need basis.
