Challenges Faced by Ohio Retail Center Parking Lot Lighting Project
A small retail center in Ohio on a modest budget contacted RLLD Commercial Lighting seeking a parking lot lighting system that would provide illumination for customer parking, employee parking, and a drive through area for a small restaurant. The parking lot itself was quite small, so poles had to be positioned in a way that did not take up what available space was available for customers of the retail center. Lighting was intended primarily for general illumination with no special...
American made Outdoor Parking Lot Lights Are by Far the Best Luminaires to Offer Your Clients
It is always advisable to use parking lot lights and poles that are made in the United States. American made equipment offers a greater variety of optics and reflectors. These luminaires and poles typically have 3-5 year written warranties (some poles have warranties of up to 10 years) that make domestically manufactured equipment a much better investment for you and your client.
Before purchasing equipment, a careful study of parking lot lighting standards in your clients region should be...
Commercial Lighting Pole Mounts
Commercial lighting pole mounting adapters allow commercial entities and municipalities to customize any decorative or parking lot lighting pole with fixtures that precisely meet both lighting and regulatory requirements in any region of the United States or Canada. Older lighting poles with fixed, pre-configured mounts can only support specific fixtures, and these fixtures may not meet the legal requirement of wind resistance and foot-candle measurement that most cities require for commercial...
Parking Garage Lights
Ideally, commercial parking garage lights should create five foot candles per square foot both horizontally and within the vertical cube itself. While many developers pay very close attention to horizontal foot candle levels, vertical lighting is actually more important. A person looking at a poorly lit column, wall, or oncoming vehicle will not be able to clearly distinguish its boundaries and may also have problems gauging its distance from his or her location. Lighting between parking spaces...

Recessed Kitchen Lighting
Long gone are the days when the single, dim, overhead kitchen light provided illumination to one of the busiest rooms in the house. The modern, multi-functional kitchen is larger than the kitchens of yesteryear. Various lighting options such as recessed kitchen lighting may be required to properly illuminate the many areas of the kitchen that are used.
Kitchens have been more than just kitchens for some time. They're now used as a focal space where homework is done, visiting and entertaining...
Horse Track Outdoor Arena Equestrian Lighting
Outdoor lighting for horse arenas and equestrian facilities are becoming more sophisticated every day. In the old days, horse arenas and outdoor rodeo arenas were lighted with outdoor flood lights, halogen lights or simply mercury vapor barn lights. These forms of outdoor arena lighting did not have the lumen output or performance to properly illuminate arenas, holding pens, stables or horse training areas. In fact, all of these light sources are outdated, ineffective and inefficient. The...
Mall Parking Lot Lighting
Mall parking lot lighting represents a critical component of high retail sales volume. Not only must it provide shoppers with safety, it must also provide optimal visibility. Color rendering should be as close to daylight levels in order to showcase storefront decorations, outdoor displays, and landscaping features that create an aesthetically pleasing environment throughout the general grounds surrounding the mall itself. Metal Halide lamps provide the best lighting source for mall parking...
Commercial Exterior Lighting
Outdoor work, especially during the evening hours, can be unproductive and dangerous, if there are no efficient commercial exterior lighting fixtures to assist with the job. Many business owners look toward their employees to be the workhorses behind every project. Commercial industries rely on the amount of production, and the quality of this production to ensure that the business earns a profit. However, employees, who do not have the proper type of exterior commercial light fixtures to...
Recessed Lighting
There are only a few different types of light bulbs to choose from, and each one is distinctive in terms of the amount of brightness and heat it delivers. But the lighting fixture you use is at least as important as the bulb in shaping the subjective effect the light will have on the area you are illuminating. Recessed lighting fixtures are probably one of the most significant elements of your home lighting design system. There are many different types of recessed lighting fixtures offered by...
