Steel & Metal Lighting Poles

Contractors that bid jobs in diverse environments and climates frequently encounter problems when proposing specific steel lighting poles, metal parking light kits, pole mounting kits and lighting equipment. We are all aware of Effective Projected Area ratings and how they tend to vary widely in different coastal and regional portions of our nation. Most commercial lighting designers who work in multiple states or on a nationwide basis many times find themselves having to rely on too many vendors to make certain the steel lighting poles they propose are in full compliance with wind resistance ratings. This of course very often complicates the proposal process because the contractor has to deal with too many lighting distributors, all of who have different policies of procurement, shipping, and consultative support.

Let Easy Rack eliminate this hassle by being your one source vendor for all commercial lighting fixtures, steel light poles and metal lighting pole accessories, mounts, fixtures, and design planning expertise. It will empower your bid with parking lot lighting equipment and solutions that will work coast to coast for any factory, warehouse, corporate office, country club, resort hotel, recreational area, car lot, rest area, or truck stop—regardless of climate or inclement weather challenges.

Easy Rack Metal Light Pole Shafts provide minimum yield strength of 55,000 PSI.
This empowers the contractor who is facing strict adherence to ASTMA-500 grade C standards a powerful competitive advantage on the bid, because these outdoor light poles feature a uniform wall thickness that results from its one-piece construction. Each light pole is made from welded carbon steel to give it full-length longitudinal resistance.

Regardless of the regional geography of your client, Easy Rack industrial lighting poles will be able to meet with all wind resistance compliance codes and offer your client a sturdy support for the lighting fixtures they need for safety, security, and optimal decorative lighting output.

Easy Rack metal lighting poles are carefully prepared prior to galvanization and powder coating.
Manufacturing by-products are removed from our steel poles by means of an overhead conveyor system that removes foreign matter from the steel with high powered, compressed air at a rate of 4000 shots per second.

This results a “white metal” condition that makes coating bond more permanently with the pole surface the metal and maximizes the PSI yield it is able to withstand.

Our powder coating process ensures extra finish adhesion and protection.
We then pre-heat the steel light pole surface to 3500 degrees to ensure adherence of powder coat finishes. The metal is then hand coated with either standard green, brown, or custom finish colors, and then it is dried and baked to make them resistant to extreme cold, heat, and humidity.

Contractors that work on a nationwide basis can be confident that these commercial steel lighting poles will work in any environment at the same performance level regardless of rain, sun, shine, snow, or storm.

Internal coating protects the steel against atmospheric conditions in industrial environments and salt air climates.
Easy Rack steel lighting poles are able to withstand 1000 hours of salt spray exposure because of this special form of corrosion resistance. In essence, our coating acts as a super inhibitive primer that prevents pollutants and salt from deteriorating the metal lighting pole interior. This process will keep your proposal fully compliant to ASTMB-117 codes.

Architectural Area Lighting

Contractors will often find themselves working for offices, churches, non-profit organizations, municipal entities, academic institutions, hotels, restaurants, resorts, and country clubs that need a truly customized architectural area lighting system with either very specific elements or highly cost conscious equipment.

In order to satisfy these clients, is necessary for architectural area lighting specialists to work with a vendor who will give them the widest range of line and low voltage equipment options that will in turn help them ensure that their proposal is fully compliant with dark sky and lighting level regulations, meets all practical safety needs, security concerns, decorative concerns, and delivers to the customer a return on investment generated by reduced power requirements and minimal ongoing maintenance.

Easy Rack experts are always willing to answer your questions in order to help you develop your proposal both from an equipment standpoint and a conceptual design perspective. From car dealership lighting to architectural hotel lighting, we are here to help.

Easy Rack recommends that you carefully weigh and balance the four cornerstone elements of exterior architectural area lighting in a fashion that completely speaks to all regulatory codes, client operations budget, and aesthetic factors crucial to creating a truly superior site lighting system.

Parking Lot Lighting
Parking lot site lights have to meet local foot-candle minimums, minimize glare for passing motorists, and avoid shining their lights into adjacent facilities and homes. Working with a specialist familiar with the various footcandle plots made by each fixture type can go a long way in reducing the time it takes for you to prepare your site lighting proposal. Easy Rack’s team of architectural area lighting experts can recommend various mounts and fixture reflectors that will pinpoint the direction of the light and ensure that your clients remain in compliance with local dark sky regulations.

Garage Site Lighting
Vertical footcandle intensity is often the most neglected element in commercial parking garage site lighting design. Vertical footcandle intensity is crucial to safety, as many obstructions rise high into the air and need more than horizontal lighting for the motorist to see.

Easy Rack will help you configure your parking garage or canopy lights in such a way as to balance vertical foot-candle intensity with horizontal footcandle intensity so as to clearly light all possible obstructions within the facility, and to create a well-lit interior without blinding glare. Easy Rack specialists will help you choose from a wide range of MH, HPS, and even canopy lighting fixtures that can create this delicate balance for a critical area in your architectural lighting proposal.

Building Architecture and Area Lighting
Outdoor building lights must accent the building without overpowering it. Different sites can benefit from different fixture types that range from wall mounted architectural lights, roof lights, canopy lights, and wallpacks in a wide range of size, voltage, wattage, and color options. Fixture positioning here is the key to minimizing light pollution, and Easy Rack commercial lighting specialists can help you calculate the optimal angles of incidence for optimum results.

Security Site Lighting
We will help you complete your architectural area lighting proposal with security lights ranging from floodlights, low pressure sodium vapor lights, motion detectors, HID or high intensity discharge lighting fixtures, security flood light fixtures, outdoor wall mount light fixtures, post mount light poles & fixtures, wall pack security light fixtures and outdoor canopy light fixtures. Ask your Easy Rack representative about the many lighting control options we provide that can help you customize each of these security lights to your clients’ specific needs.

Easy Rack offers a wide variety of architectural park lighting, commercial shelving, material-handling equipment, commercial warehouse lighting, used pallet racks, commercial Christmas lighting and modular prefab buildings installed nationwide.

The main benefit of industrial lighting equipment is to provide uniform light levels in a specified work area.

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's 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, wattages, sizes and finishes that can match any kind of industrial lighting condition. For example, high bay commercial lighting fixtures are designed for larger facilities and offer higher wattages 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 lumens 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, warehouses 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 a 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 and most affordable industrial lighting fixtures for your building’s security and safe operation throughout all hours of the night.
