Industrial Fluorescent Lighting Recent laws now require all incandescent lights to be replaced no later than 2010. Consequently, industrial fluorescent lights will play an increasingly vital role in future lighting design. Almost every factory, warehouse, and office park will need new architectural area lights, if not a completely new lighting system. We strongly recommend that you urge your clients now to invest now rather than later, because part shortages will most likely arise when many companies wait until the last minute. RLLD Commercial Lighting anticipates and understands that your clients may not want to spend money until we know how long this recession we are facing is going to last. You will overcome their fears when you show them the many benefits that industrial fluorescent light fixtures will provide for their business. By explaining how this evolving technology can actually help them recession-proof their business, you can gain a strong competitive advantage over other contractors. Who out there doesn’t want to invest in longer-lasting, energy efficient equipment whose reduced power consumption and lower maintenance cost will compound savings that pay back the value of the purchase order and potentially generates a revenue surplus? Industrial fluorescent lights last longer than other luminaires.We personally have never encountered a client who enjoys wasting money on equipment replacements. We strongly suspect as well that such clients do not exist. The people we know expect their money’s worth anytime they spend it, and they expect the things they buy to last. Industrial fluorescent lights will prove their value to these cautious clients the minute the lights power on. With superior and more reliable performance than luminaires, these clients will experience a light that is more comfortable to the eyes (generally industrial fluorescent lamps create significantly less glare), and lower electric bills. This is going to be a major turning point for contractors in cities such as Houston, TX. Our city government has recently tightened the belt on LPW codes. Come August 1st when the new law goes into effect, no more than.05 watt will be permitted for every lumen produced. With these changes on the near horizon, it is essential for contractors in Houston and other major cities to propose lamps that will generate more light with less electricity. As a general rule, industrial fluorescent light fixtures feature a LPW and offer the additional benefit of cooler operating temperatures. For warehouses and shipping/receiving centers that are using currently using HID high bay and low bay lights, replacing existing fixtures with fluorescent industrial bay lights can lower the temperature within the building and generate further savings on HVAC cooling costs.Fluorescent lights are found almost everywhere in the world of industry and distribution.Fluorescent industrial lights represent some of the world’s most diversified sources of illumination. You see industrial fluorescent light sources in virtually every indoor and outdoor lighting system. This is especially true in material handling, manufacturing, and shipping receiving companies who have to squeeze every penny on overhead to turn a profit. Because industrial fluorescent lamps render color at only 8 points less than that of natural light, fluorescent low bays are an excellent line item to offer any client that needs a better light source over an assembly line or work area characterized by highly detailed or potentially dangerous tasks. For industrial site lighting, they perform competitively against a large percentage of HID area lights. In our energy and environmentally conscious marketplace, you find everything from industrial fluorescent bollards and decorative landscape lights to powerful fluorescent floodlights linked to motion detectors and advanced alarms. Warehouses commonly use fluorescent wall packs as glare free, economic lighting sources around building perimeters and loading docks. Canopy lights with fluorescent lamps also serve as highly efficient and vandal-proof fixtures for industrial walkway lighting and parking garage lighting.Today’s industrial fluorescent lights feature electronic ballasts that create a quality of light that is higher than ever before.The stereotype many people have of industrial fluorescent lights as headache generators has long since been disproven and overcome and by newer, electronic ballasts that have freed fluorescent light from the flickering and yellowing effects produced by the inferior ballasts of the past. Today’s fluorescents generate a comfortable, white, glare free luminance that is easy on the eyes and fits hand in glove with glare and light pollution regulations. It is important to inform clients about the difference between retail fluorescents that use cheap, magnetic ballasts and more advanced specification grade industrial fluorescent lights with electronic ballasts. The all-American-made, specification quality fixtures we supply to contractors feature only the very best electronic ballasts in a variety of voltages engineered for superior electron flow, power management, exceptional CRI, and photometric delivery power. This represents the highest level of manufacturing and engineering quality in our industry; which is why so many general contractors and builders rely upon RLLD Commercial as their exclusive vendor.
