Commercial Light Fixtures

It is necessary for the commercial electrician, architect, engineer, or outdoor lighting design to work with a multi-manufacture lighting distributor that maintains a non-preferential inventory of commercial lighting fixtures. A great number of commercial lighting fixture distributors represent only one or two manufacturers, and many times they insist that you buy from only those manufacturers when developing your proposal. This limits not only the proposal itself; and it affects your delivery power to larger clients who may require a many different, specialized, commercial lighting fixtures for aesthetic and efficiently functional light. Furthermore, limited proposal power can also affect your ability to address regulatory requirements on foot-candle levels, reflective glare, and light pollution.

Easy Rack offers you a better plan of action. Our inventory features selections from the world’s best commercial light fixture manufactures. This allows you to assess your clients’ needs from every aspect of requirement and then select specific commercial wall pack lighting fixtures appropriately suited to the luminance needs of buildings, property, operations, and energy efficiency. Making these choices often requires an extensive site analysis and consultation with both the client and the manufacturer’s representative.

Commercial Parking Garage Lights

Commercial parking garage lighting is a critical element of facility safety and security. Selecting and installing these commercial parking garage lights requires attention to many details that characterize effective lighting and energy savings. Easy Rack specialists will answer any serious inquires at no charge if you have questions about lighting levels; glare shields, lumens per watt efficiency, and optimal horizontal and vertical foot candle levels. In all honesty, these considerations must be carefully studied first before making any purchase, as not only front-end pricing, but also lamp life and power consumption over long periods of time determine cost effectiveness.

Easy Rack offers you three standard types of commercial parking garage lighting fixtures and a complete line of parking lot lighting kits. We sell High Intensity Metal Halide Fixtures and High Pressure Sodium Lights, and we also furnish a wide range of fluorescent lighting fixtures. Each fixture type offers unique advantages that must be considered in terms of cost, commercial lighting quality, and the size of your parking garage.

Metal Halide Fixtures
Metal Halide commercial parking garage and HID flood lights are the most lamps used in parking garage lighting. Metal Halide fixtures represent a mid-range price point and offer exceptional quality in visual lighting effect and color rendering. However, they have the shortest lamp life (only 10,000 hours) and the lowest lumens to watt efficiency rating.

Nevertheless, of your primary concern is quality, and you have the budget for frequent lamp replacements, metal halide lights will prove an excellent light source for your parking garage.

High Pressure Sodium Fixtures
High Pressure Sodium lights feature highest lumens per wattage output and are the most energy efficient choice for lighting large commercial parking garages with high ceilings. This is because large garages typically have heavy beam supports and other obstructions that pose a potential hazard to drivers. It is important too fully illuminate the front vertical surface of any potential obstructions with HID (High Intensity Discharge) fixtures located at or near the top of the vertical cube.

High Pressure Sodium fixtures represent a very cost effective source of commercial parking garage lighting. Although they rate very low on the color-rendering index, this is normally not an issue in industrial facilities where high lighting levels, minimized replacement costs, and safety are far more important concerns.

They are also the least expensive fixtures in terms of initial purchase price point and are ideal for large corporations requiring dozens, of not hundreds.

Fluorescent Fixtures
In warm climates where cold weather and extremely low temperatures will not affect ballasts during winter, fluorescent commercial parking garage lights offer both an optimal price point and optimal savings on power costs for companies on tight budgets. Fluorescent lights also give you the very best color rendering of any lighting fixture and feature a lamp life of 20,000 hours. Fluorescent lamps are nearly equivalent to high-pressure sodium lights in cost and consume the least amount of power.

In terms of short-term savings on the front end and long term savings on the back end, they are the most economical source of commercial parking garage lighting.

Glare Reduction and Safety
To bring not only the brightest levels of lighting in your commercial parking garage, but also to create the safest possible environment, be sure to talk to your Easy Rack specialists about the many ways we can minimize hazardous glare. High Pressure Sodium and Metal Halide lights can be ordered in cutoff, semi-cutoff, and refractor style designs that will distribute the light evenly down the vertical cube and evenly light your horizontal space with a minimum of hazardous glare.

Glare reduction depends greatly on how you design the parking lot lighting system itself. The size of your garage, the height of the ceiling, the amount and type of vehicle traffic, pedestrian presences, and the architecture of your parking garage (underground, above ground, multi-storied) all represent critical factors that must be carefully balanced so your parking area has the brightest possible light with the least amount of glare.

Make sure that you ask your Easy Rack specialist for a referral to a designer who can help you who can help you find the answers to these questions and install your commercial parking garage lighting system. Also, keep in mind that all three fixtures types can be obtained in good quality, used condition, so you don’t necessarily have to go with the lowest-rated fixtures to save money when you work with Easy Rack.

Easy Rack carries a wide variety of parking lights, athletic and sports field lighting kits, tennis court lighting, material handling equipment, commercial lighting, commercial parking garage lighting equipment, commercial grade Christmas lights, used pallet racks, and modular buildings installed nationwide.

Industrial Metal Shelving, Material Handling Equipment, Mezzanine Storage Systems & Pallet Racking New and Used from Easy Rack.

Easy Rack supplies virtually every form of industrial metal shelving in all shapes, sizes and models. Industrial shelving systems can be custom ordered new or acquired in good, slightly used condition. When you buy used shelving Easy Rack can save you hundreds of dollars on medium to large orders.

Easy Rack offers to industrial and commercial clients a nationwide distribution network that is able to quickly and efficiently ship material handling products. This shipping process includes the dispatching of professional installers onsite whose special skills not only setup metal shelving systems safely, but also configure those systems to make maximum use of horizontal and vertical storage space at your place of business.

Here are a few of the key features and benefits of industrial metal shelving:

Industrial-Steel-Shelving Units
Industrial steel shelving is another term commonly used for open-ended Wide span, or Long span industrial shelving. Long span design creates efficient, compartmentalized storage space out of floor space adjacent to any wall. Long span units are available in sizes of up to 24-gauge and provide excellent, reliable storage platforms for large pieces of equipment, motor parts, or construction materials. They are also very good for chemical storage because they have been especially designed for corrosion resistance.

Steel Warehouse Shelving
There are two primary categories of steel warehouse shelving: open and closed. Open metal shelving allows you to access materials from the side as well as from the front. These shelves are normally taller than wide and can serve as excellent tools for converting unused vertical space into storage area. Closed metal shelving offers the security and stability of cabinetry and can even be folded together like a book. Of course, these units are far better than cabinets or bookcases because their steel construction allows even the smallest units to easily support 450lbs of materials.

Rivet Shelving Units
Rivet shelving is the least expensive of our metal shelf categories, and it is ideal for companies on tight budgets. Rivet shelves allow you to access material from all sides and do not use braces that could obstruct storage access.

Mezzanine Shelving & Decking Systems
Mezzanine shelving systems can literally create floor space out of air space and increase storage area up to 150%. This type of metal shelving should be strongly considered if you are facing an upcoming move. Often mezzanines can create so much extra room they eliminate the need to spend money on relocation.

Pallet Rack Shelving
Just about all materials are shipped on pallets of some kind. As such, metal pallet rack shelves are standards in almost all modern warehouses and an absolute must for warehouses adjacent to a factory. They enable organizations to streamline process flow by keeping materials securely stored on pallets from the time of delivery all the way up till they are used in the manufacturing process.

Looking for new articles on material handling equipment or helpful information on commercial lighting equipment? Easy Rack is a major provider of all types of material handling supplies such as new and used pallet racks, storage racks, ergonomic equipment and industrial lighting supplies.

We can be reached at 888-776-3720 toll free and have regional distribution centers nationwide.

Easy Rack serves commercial and industrial companies of all sizes while keeping the end-user in mind as well. So, when we here from our online customers, we like to share those remarks. Here are just a few testimonials and product reviews we have recently received:

We recently upgraded our security lighting using Easy Rack wall packs light fixtures. I was surprised at how easy they were to install and how much light they produced. The old incandescent lights we replaced are simply no match for these commercial grade fixtures. Our facility is now secure and we expect no problems from vandals going forward. Your company was a joy to work with! - Charles Shumacher

WOW- This new telescopic ladder is the coolest thing since sliced bread. I am a roofing contractor who has a bad back and struggles with a 24' extension ladder everyday. This is a real load off my shoulders and makes me look more professional to the clients. - Cliff Jacobs

Gracious Easy Rack! Sales at my Mexican Restaurant are terrific since installing several of your commercial water cooled patio fans. Since both outdoor fans are self contained, and operate up to eight hours without refilling, I do not have to use garden hoses or worry about someone tripping on them. It has made it much more enjoyable for my customers to drink, eat and relax during the summer months. - Hector Gonzales

The home owner's association wanted me to thank you in helping us with a professional lighting design layout. The decorative pole lights that you recommended have solved our security lighting issues and added a touch of class to our complex. Not one of our association members is unhappy with the look, performance or cost of the commercial metal halide lights! Thanks Easy Rack! - Mark Sheffield

We live in a gated retirement community where several of our close friends use wheelchairs and scooters to get around. Since buying your residential wheel chair lift last month, we no longer struggle getting anyone in and out of our home. In fact, we had the installer spray the wheel chair ramp to match our house trim color and you can hardly see it from the street. Thanks again! - Alice Ramsey

We have been inspired with our new carousel turntable from the day it arrived. Before getting this valuable material handling tool we used to go round and round with shrink wrap to prepare palletized loads for shipment. Now we just forklift the pallet onto the carousel and simply rotate the pallet to bundle the goods for shipment. Thank you Easy Rack for making our job easier! - Carlos Garcia

Loading dock lights minimize freight damage while expediting loading and unloading operations.

Commercial loading docks are the hub of the American trucking industry. This is where trucks are loaded and dispatched with a broad spectrum of industrial good and commodity based products. From perishable produce in refrigerated trucks to industrial equipment in a rail car, they all have one common thread. All these facilities want to ensure that employees have a good working environment and that cargo is successfully delivered to the correct recipient. To accomplish these goals, loading docks must have good quality lighting system, a plethora of material handling equipment and most importantly, durable and efficient dock lighting fixtures.

Loading dock lights minimize freight damage while expediting loading and unloading operations. These adjustable commercial lights provide uniform visibility inside trailers or around dock areas. Easy Rack is a major distributor of top quality UL Approved loading dock lights with a variety of light sources and wattage to meet your needs.

Fluorescent Dock Lights
Fluorescent loading dock lighting fixtures offer energy efficiency and provide a nice light source for small to medium sized trucks. Fluorescent lighting fixtures use a 55-watt lamp which is sold separately. The adjustable arm knuckle joint allows vertical and horizontal positioning of the strut arm.

Incandescent Dock Lights
Incandescent loading dock lights offer good color rendering, a low replacement cost and turn on instantly even in cold environments. This is a good choice for areas where power outages occur since the lamp is instantaneous on. This incandescent loading dock light uses a 90-watt PAR38 lamp which is sold separately. The adjustable arm knuckle joint allows vertical and horizontal positioning.

Halogen Incandescent Lights
Halogen loading dock lighting fixtures typically provide more lumens per watt, offer better energy efficiency, have a longer service life and experiences less light depreciation over the lifetime of the lamp. It is supplied with a 500 watt bulb. This loading dock light also turns on instantaneously making it also a good choice to applications where the light it turned on or off with frequency.

High Pressure Sodium Lights
High pressure sodium loading dock lights offer a much higher light output and a very long lamp life over some of the other light sources. High pressure sodium lights produce a yellowish red color which is not as desirable as an incandescent, halogen or incandescent source. High pressure sodium dock lights typically require several minutes to turn on, and even longer if in a cold environment. Units are supplied with a 50 watt bulb.

Easy Rack serves industrial companies of all sizes while keeping the end-user in mind as well. A great many of our commercial lighting fixtures, warehouse lighting equipment and material handling equipment products such as pallet jacks, ladders, and industrial storage shelving offer equal value both for the home and the commercial facility.

Commercial lighting systems offer a number of clear and tangible enhancements to any commercial or industrial property.

Industrial companies can eliminate the costs of contracted design and installation services by building their own commercial lighting systems. This is not as difficult as it may appear. Since commercial lighting systems serve primarily a practical purpose, operations managers can itemize the major activities that occur in and around their facilities and literally match lighting to worker activity through Easy Rack’s simple, efficient, online inventory and order processing.

The first priority of most industrial clients is heightened security. Commercial lighting systems offer a number of clear and tangible enhancements to any company’s protection of its buildings and employees. The most obvious benefit a better commercial lighting system brings is improved visibility through elimination of all shadows in parking lots and between buildings. Crime simply cannot occur as easily if there are no dark places for intruders to hide. With Easy Rack commercial lighting systems, a company can customize flood lighting by installing half of their floodlights on timers that turn lights on at sundown and off at sunrise. They can save costs by installing the remainder of their floodlights with motion sensors, providing additional lighting only when the system detects and intruder and gives a sudden, bright surprise to unauthorized personnel. Security cameras and guards can see more clearly around the edges of buildings fitted with wall packs and other external lights.

Easy Rack has a wide variety of fixtures custom-engineered to fit on the sides and roofs of many different building types. Adding wall packs to one’s commercial lighting system is a very cost effective way to create a field of light around the entire building and make any attempt at intrusion immediately visible to cameras and guards. Adding glare free parking lot lights to increase visibility between vehicles, and sign lighting at the front entrance adds further security by eliminating any dark areas unauthorized personnel can use to gain access to the property.

Easy Rack’s online inventory contains all necessary fixtures and bulbs to self-design an energy saving, OSHA compliant commercial lighting system from the ground up. Contact us online or by phone at 713-522-1133 with any specific questions or custom design requirements.
