Industrial Light Fixtures

Energy Efficient Indoor & Outdoor Industrial Lighting Fixtures Will Save You Money.
Industrial lighting must be able to accommodate a wide variety of needs ranging from commercial warehouse lighting, car lot lighting to area lighting for detailed tasks. Industrial lighting must also light warehouse areas that are light contrasting such as those with and without day lighting. Industrial lighting does have a significant impact on employee safety and productivity, because an inadequately lit area can create eye fatigue and lower morale.

If you have employees assembling printed circuit boards for example, need adequate overhead and task lighting that does not create glare. Warehouse areas require high intensity lights placed on poles or hung from the ceiling as opposed to workstations which may require simple overhead fluorescent lighting. There are different industrial lighting lamps and fixtures depending on the height of the facility.

Save Time with Commercial & Industrial Light Fixtures.
In the industrial workplace, there are many commercial lighting needs. Industrial lighting is not just for factory or warehouse floors. Industrial buildings are also composed of hallways, aisles, offices and computer rooms which may be enormous in size. Large scale industrial lighting is available for each of these areas and also for emergency exit and outdoor wall pack lighting. When you shop for industrial lighting, you will find numerous lighting choices including standard and pulse start halides, energy efficient fluorescent, and lighting which preserve natural colors in the environment while making it more desirable for employees.

It is important to buy high quality lighting. Cheap commercial or industrial pole lights will degrade quickly over time, putting out less and less lumens. Because the degradation occurs over time and the bulbs or lamps keep working, you may not even realize the industrial lighting is not working at maximum efficiency. The best industrial lighting will maintain their close to maximum lumens for the life of the lamps. Therefore, a regular lamp change program should be implemented around average lamp life of the fixture you select. HID lamps and fluorescent lamps offer the most cost effective solutions for commercial industrial lighting applications.

With a better understanding of how industrial lighting impacts productivity, it is easy to improve your lighting standards. Industrial lighting and fixtures from Easy Rack are now designed to save you money while improving the ability of your employees to get the job done right the first time. From that standpoint, industrial lighting contributes to quality control as much as it conserves energy.

Commercial fluorescent lighting fixtures offer warehouses considerable advantage over incandescent lighting fixtures.

What is the main advantage of commercial fluorescent lighting fixtures?
Fluorescent lights last longer and save commercial facilities a great deal of money on replacement costs. Average lamp life and lumens output per watt a highly efficient source of illumination in any fluorescent fixture. Fluorescent lamps generate minimal heat and maintain cooler temperatures in workshops and warehouses where workers cannot safely afford to work in an overheated environment. Reduced energy consumption also adds up over time to savings that exceed the cost of initial purchase.

Do you know how a fluorescent lamp works anyway?
A fluorescent light creates passes an electric arc between tungsten cathodes in a tube filled with a low-pressure mix of mercury vapor and other luminous gases. The arc excites the mercury vapor, which in turn generates radiant energy- primarily in the ultraviolet range. This energy causes the phosphor coating on the inside of the tube to “fluoresce,” converting the ultraviolet into visible light.

What are the electrical requirements for fluorescent lamps?
A high voltage surge must establish an arc in the mercury vapor. Once the arc hits, the gas offers a decreasing amount of resistance. This causes the regulated current to match this drop and increase in intensity. To keep the current under control, and to prevent the lamp from burning out as a result, magnetic or electronic ballasts that provide the required starting voltage and control the subsequent flow of current to the lamp must operate fluorescent lights.

Which is better: magnetic or electronic ballast?
An electronic ballast provides superior current flow regulation. They are more costly, but eliminate flicker for areas that require a slightly higher grade of internal light. Consider investing in electronic ballasts for lights inside executive or manager offices adjacent to the warehouse floor.

Easy Rack carries many varieties of fluorescent Wall Pack Lights and fluorescent Outdoor Floodlights. Read here about specific benefits these commercial outdoor lights provide for safe transit between buildings and enhanced facilities security.

Loading Dock Lights
Commercial fluorescent lights help loading docks maintain clear visibility for 18-wheelers and delivery trucks. Mounted on telescoping or swing arms, fluorescent dock lights are very durable, start instantaneously, and do not require a start up period. They prove their usefulness every time the power is accidentally unplugged or when the electricity goes off momentarily.

Vandal proof Canopy Lights
Fluorescent vandal proof lights commercial fluorescent lights keep parking garages, car washes, storage facilities, warehouses with low ceilings, and other properties clearly visible with a dependable commercial lighting source. They are an excellent and highly cost effective tool for protecting any commercial property and equipment. Their rock solid, vandal proof lenses are difficult for intruders, customers, or employees to disable. Easy Rack provides models in both square and rectangular formats.

The basic purpose of industrial lighting fixtures is to provide safety and accessibility for all employees and customers!

Outdoor industrial lighting fixtures and bulbs from Easy Rack can play a vital role in reducing overhead costs by lowering insurance premiums with security lights, and saving power consumption or energy by using HID or fluorescent light fixtures. Good quality industrial warehouse lighting also is helpful for warehouse workers to navigate through the warehouse safely and to minimize mistakes for not being able to read SKU or part numbers.

The main benefit of industrial lighting equipment is to provide uniform light levels in a specified work area without adversely affecting worker performance in any way. Industrial lighting differs according to the area they cover and glare from the lighting fixtures is a major concern for workers as this could lead to accidents or injury. If the area is small, low bay metal halide fixtures can be positioned above work stations. Industrial lighting fixtures are available with different type light bulbs, wattage, sizes and finishes that can match any kind of industrial lighting condition. For example, high bay commercial fixtures are designed for larger facilities and offer higher wattage's to maintain critical light levels.

There are many Industrial lighting options open to commercial lighting buyers, it is simple to select lighting fixtures, which suit the budget, location, and desired level of expediency. Industrial lighting fixtures can be smooth modern lights, halogen or compact fluorescent, incandescent light bulbs, spotlights, or luminaries offering infinite choice to industrial businesses. Even with commercial warehouse lighting applications, it is often important for workers and customers to inspect the products that enter and leave the warehouse. If color rendering is an important consideration, for example, then metal halide would be an excellent choice due to its ability to render colors as they would appear in daylight. If, on the other hand, you are exploring a commercial outdoor lighting application where sheer efficiency is most important, you might consider a high pressure sodium bulb. While the light tends to be orange gold in color, high pressure sodium bulbs tend to be more efficient and therefore longer lasting than metal halide. High pressure sodium lighting fixtures produce more lumen's per watt than metal halide sources.

Easy Rack offer high bay and low bay industrial lighting fixtures, which are intended to provide quality lighting for different sized offices, industrial warehouse storage or other commercial buildings. High bay fixtures by design emit a more concentrated light with minimal dispersion and are well-matched for taller ceilings. Low bay equipment is much better suited to low ceilings and smaller spaces.

Outdoor industrial lighting fixtures and bulbs are influenced by extreme temperatures. These extreme temperatures can be weather related or environmentally related. Be sure your industrial lighting fixture has zero degree ballast that will perform in extremely low temperatures and that the finish on the fixture will not tarnish and is rust resistant. It is desirable to purchase higher quality industrial lighting fixtures as lower quality fixtures can have bubbles or scratches.

The placement of outdoor lighting fixtures is an equally important factor that should be well planned. Wrongly positioned lighting fixtures can create hot spots. The basic purpose of industrial lighting fixtures is to provide safety and accessibility for all employees and customers as well. Designs and size of lighting fixtures should balance with the purpose both is size and light output. Certain outdoor lights are reasonably effective in safeguarding property, for example, motion-detecting lights can be coupled to security and alarm devices. Whatever type of industrial lighting is used, there is no need to over indulge, as over-lighted places are health hazards and an unneeded waste of funds.

Easy Rack’s commercial and industrial lighting specialists can answer all questions you have about which bulbs and commercial lighting fixtures work best with your specific operations. Call one of our specialists today at 713-553-1122 to find the best information and most affordable industrial lighting fixtures for your building’s security and safe operation throughout all hours of the night.

Commercial warehouse lighting improves productivity and profits!

I manage a large commercial warehouse facility where we manufacture and refurbish pipe and equipment for the petrochemical industry in Texas City. The guys in the shop have asked me to upgrade the lighting as it is very difficult for them to see to do their work on cloudy days and when we work double shifts. The existing lighting consists of high output 8 foot fluorescent strips over the storage racks and a few high bay fixtures over some of the machines. Can you help me brighten this place up?

We would be more than happy to help you update your commercial warehouse and design a new lighting system that will not only improve productivity, save energy, but improve your bottom line. Studies show that good quality task or work lighting is the one of most important factors to promote productivity and safety in the workplace. Whether you are reading the paper or working a DNC machine, good lighting makes the task easier and puts less stain on your eyes.

To properly assist you, we need a few minutes of your time on the phone so that our lighting specialist can learn more about your specific warehouse conditions, dimensions and electrical provisions. From there, our lighting specialist can then formulate a lighting layout, review the photo metrics and provide you an detailed and itemized commercial lighting quote. If you have any CAD drawings that you could email or perhaps digital images of the warehouse, those would be helpful as well.
We look forward to receiving your information and helping you with your commercial lighting project. We can be reached at 713-533-1122 during normal working hours. Thank you for contacting www.easyrack.org for your lighting needs!
