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.

Street Lighting Poles

Engineers and contractors who install streetlights for municipalities, highway departments, and private thoroughfares need a nationwide vendor they can depend on who can equip them with and concrete street light poles. Because street lights and poles are so heavily regulated, material grade, range of customization, functional delivery, wind load capacity, impact resistance, and aesthetics represent a collective of critical factors that work together to develop a proposal that will award your organization with the bid.

Wind load compliance laws very often the top most consideration for the engineer who is responsible for proposing street lighting poles based on the number of lighting fixtures or flood lights. Before you add any specific line items to your proposal, we recommend you contact Easy Rack for a free phone-based consultation to cross reference wind load regulations against street lighting pole options you may have already discussed with your client. This saves your company a step in having to index this data in house and in turn saves you time and money in fine-tuning the delivery power of your proposal.

Easy Rack adds value beyond compliance by giving you multiple design and material build options for your street poles lights.
We offer contractors the freedom of choice between an enormous variety of concrete and steel street light poles. Both concrete and steel offer respective, advantages and benefits that engineers, architects, and outdoor lighting designers can transfer directly to the client’s table.

Easy Rack Street Lighting Poles are available in a wide range of heights and radius tapers.
Our nationwide warehousing network can equip your firm with street lights that range from decorative poles closely resembling the design and aesthetic of park lighting poles to 50 foot+ industrial concrete street light poles for roadway and highway lighting. We inventory these lighting poles simply because we understand that contractors bid these products on a city-wide level and require a diversity of options in order to accommodate neighborhoods, park areas, retail centers, and business districts.

Concrete and Steel Street Lighting Poles give you choice of material build.
Many towns have begun to replace steel street lighting poles with concrete outdoor commercial lighting poles because of their superior impact and wind load capacity, and also because they can better withstand the elements. We make certain to provide these replacements at affordable price points to the contractor so any retrofitting project can be completely as quickly and painlessly as possible for the consultant and the client alike.

Nevertheless, our inventory favors neither steel nor concrete street light poles from a preferential standpoint, because our commercial lighting specialists are well aware that many residential neighborhoods will specifically request either one or the other, and that they may also want certain diameters, tapers, finish colors to compliment the exterior architecture of homes and landscapes.

Please reference our wide selection of choices in both concrete and steel street light poles that will give your client the freedom of choice and a price point that will enable you to win the bid. Have you considered out pre-packaged outdoor lighting kits?

Easy Rack Street Light Poles Come in A Variety of Geometric Design Models
We offer highly functional, decorative street lighting poles in round, hexagon, octagon, and square geometric designs. Classifications range from light-duty poles to heavy-duty street lighting poles, with taper ratios and installation options ranging from the standard to the highly customized. You can choose from either standard or custom finish options as well in order to make your proposal more aesthetic. This gives you added negotiating power if you are bidding on a high-end project with a resort, country club, hotel, or recreational facility that is looking to light private street with poles that feature maximized yield strength and decorative appeal.

Street Light Poles by Easy Rack are engineered to support the fixtures you need without having to force compatibility with costly customization.
Before you invest in generic street light poles that may have to be fitted with additional mounting accessories that support the fixtures your client requires you to provide, talk to an Easy Rack specialist first and let he or she help you find a decorative outdoor lighting pole to match the fixture and the facility you are bidding to service.

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.

Industrial Light Poles

Easy Rack offers commercial contractors a comprehensive selection of industrial light poles and lighting pole tenons and adaptors. Easy Rack light poles are engineered to withstand high velocity winds, are made from the best carbon steel, and are thoroughly coated with a thermo set, polyester powder coating that enables them to stand up to both extremely cold climates in the North and the hot, humid climates of Southern States such as Florida and Texas.

Easy Rack’s Protective Coating and Warranty Options Give You Strong Competitive Advantage in Tough Bidding Situations.
Easy Rack commercial lighting poles feature two layers of coating, each applied with a highly specialized, proprietary process that will give you a powerful competitive advantage over your competitors. Light poles are first cleansed of by products with high-pressured air compressors, then the powder coating finish is applied at a temperature of 3500 degrees to ensure bonding to the metal. The interior of the pole is then coated with corrosion resistant materials that protect the interior from salt air and industrial airborne by products. These light poles are ensured with a five-year warranty. If your clients want the absolute maximum protection and maintenance free investment, you can also propose additional galvanized protection and a ten year warranty to ensure you win the bid against cheaper, inferior grade proposals you may find yourself in a bidding war against.

Easy Rack lighting poles are built to enhance the visual element of a site just as much as they are designed to withstand high winds and extreme temperatures.
If your clients who want their light poles to blend with either natural surroundings or industrial facilities, you can offer them parking lot lighting poles coated in traditional bronze and green finishes. For more elaborate projects in parks, municipal buildings, airports, country clubs, resort hotels, outdoor shopping malls, and five star restaurants, you can win the bid on a lighting poles system with Easy Rack’s custom colored light pole finishes. Ask your Easy Rack expert who is already familiar with architectural and/or landscaping design who can help you develop a complimentary color scheme to enhance architectural keynotes and natural features.

Light Pole Construction Features and Design Options Give You More Proposal Power
Easy Rack wants to empower each and every contractor we supply with multiple lighting pole design options. Certain features are common to all of our pole designs in order to ensure compliance to ASTMA-500 grade C codes. Easy Rack lighting pole shafts feature a solid one-piece construction from weldable carbon steel that provides a uniformity of wall thickness regardless of pole height or taper. The industrial lighting pole itself mounts on a hot-rolled carbon steel anchor base engineered to meet minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI. This type of base offers a strong competitive advantage over many other base designs, because it actually telescopes the pole shaft and holds it in place with a circumferential welded top and bottom. Easy Rack includes a hot rolled carbon steel bar, anchor bolts, hex nuts, and two flat washers with every light pole in order to make installation easy, safe, and quick for the busy contractor.

Our growing inventory also offers commercial outdoor lighting designers a wide array of light poles in Straight Round, Tapered Round, Straight Square, and Tapered Square designs, as well as a wide range of tenons and adapters that you can use to match equipment to the practical demands of a project and the aesthetic preferences of each individual client.

If you are proposing a sports lighting system for a school, civic center, church, or professional league, propose Easy Rack sports lighting poles and lighting fixtures to your client. Each Easy Rack sports light pole features a pivotal base that is drilled for multiple sport court uses. The base of the pole comes with 2 locks that will prevent unauthorized removal of the pivot bolts. An optional top pole section can be added as well if the client needs to make the light pole higher and eliminate the cost of additional, costly accessories. Ask an Easy Rack specialist about available warranties and special sports lighting metal halide and quartz flood fixture that are an ideal fit for these sports lighting poles.

Soccer Field Lighting Equipment

Easy Rack is a single source depot for soccer field lights, equipment, and poles and mounting arms needed to optimize the visibility of the game itself and keep your field or stadium in full compliance with foot-candle regulatory codes mandated to ensure player safety and reduce light pollution.

The foot candle is the standard of measurement for all athletic sports field lighting equipment. One foot candle is equal to one lumen spread over one square foot of cubic space. Outdoor lighting fixtures and accessories ranging from parking lot lights to sports and security lighting are controlled by government regulations that specify foot-candle minimums. Because foot candles require special equipment to measure, Easy Rack strongly recommends you consult with a lighting specialist who has this equipment in order to ensure your soccer field lights meet with municipal lighting codes and the recommendations of the US Soccer Foundation. Since so many soccer games are played at night, it is necessary to safeguard player safety by having a professional calculate the level of foot candles needed for the size of the field and the number of spectators.

Also, keep in mind that lighting a professional soccer field requires a much greater level of illumination than lighting a recreational field. For instance, if you intend to light a soccer field that is used only for practice without spectators, a field that measures 180’ X 330’ will usually only require 30 foot candles of light. A professional soccer stadium, by contrast, will need more than twice the lighting- approximately 75 foot-candles.

Another factor that is very important to efficient soccer field lighting is precise determination of equipment voltage levels. Fixtures with multi-tap ballasts provide the greatest flexibility for soccer field lighting. Easy Rack sports lights are configured with multi-tap ballasts that produce 120, 208, 240, and 277 volts respectively. We also supply models that are fitted with 480-volt ballast for full-sized professional stadiums.

It is important to work with an Easy Rack specialist who can help you determine the appropriate voltage level for your facility and match the lamp to the ballast. High voltage commercial lighting equipment can be dangerous if guesswork if you substitute guesswork for sound math and engineering advice.

Finally, the material build and height of soccer field lighting poles is a crucial factor in generating optimal illumination for your practice field or stadium. US Soccer Foundation recommendations state that the best poles are made from galvanized steel. You can obtain these outdoor light poles from Easy Rack in a variety of heights and models, and you can also obtain all appropriate mounting accessories, including right angle cross arms that will hold two soccer field lighting fixtures on a single pole.

When properly fitted and ballasted, Easy Rack soccer field lights will also make the game more enjoyable for spectators and reduce potential nuisance to surrounding housing developments. Our metal halide fixtures are equipped with advanced reflector arrays that direct the light toward desired locations along the field and eliminate light pollution that otherwise could shine into the windows of sleeping, next door neighbors. This not only makes the game more enjoyable to people who visit your arena, but it also will minimize neighborhood complaints from those who will certainly be annoyed if your soccer field or parking lot light kits shine into their windows.

Easy Rack stocks a vast inventory of sports lighting packages:
Baseball Field Lighting
Tennis Court Lighting
Football Field Lighting Fixtures
Golf Course & Driving Range Lighting
Rodeo & Horse Arena Lighting

Looking for Commercial Warehouse Lights, Wall Packs, High Bay Lighting or Parking Lot Light Fixtures?

Easy Rack is a major supplier of all types of commercial and industrial lighting fixtures such as wall pack security lighting, industrial high bay fixtures, commercial low bay fixtures, high performance parking lot lighting kits and attractive decorative pole lighting packages.

Wall pack lighting fixtures are designed for security lighting around the perimeter of the buildings, lighting loading docks, storage areas or above entrance doors. Wall pack lights are very efficient lighting sources as most are considered HID or high intensity discharge. This means they use a magnetic or electronic ballast and gas filled light bulb as opposed to a standard incandescent filament style light bulb. The result is considerable more lumen output and lamp life of up to 20,000 hours for some types. High pressure sodium wall packs are the most efficient light source but, produces a orange/white color which is not always aesthetically pleasing. Metal halide wall packs, on the other hand, produce a white light which may be more attractive and appropriate for your security lighting needs.

Easy Rack offers low bay and high bay commercial lighting fixtures, which are intended to provide higher light levels in large warehouses or other commercial buildings. The main difference between low bay and high bay lighting, other than the mounting height, is the light distribution pattern or photometric performance. If you have questions, an Easy Rack consultant can assist you.

We carry both acyclic high bay fixtures and metal high bay fixtures. Acrylic style high bay lights are more decorative in design and provide both up and down lighting when used in relatively dust free buildings. These lights work well in retail establishments or showrooms with a light colored ceiling. Metal high bays are more commercial in design and force all the light in a downward pattern. Since illuminating the ceiling is not desired in most commercial warehouses lighting applications, the metal shroud prevents dust, dirt and oil residue from effecting the fixture performance.

When it comes to parking lot lighting, the commercial lighting designers can assist with all your needs. Easy Rack has taken the mystery out of parking lot lighting for the end user by creating high performance lighting packages that include all the key components. These parking lot commercial lighting solutions include some of the most common pole configurations with one, two, three and four light fixtures per standard. Each unique site lighting package is engineered using common parking lot lighting pole heights such as 15', 20', 25', 30' and 35' poles. And finally, with distribution patterns like Type I, Type II, Type III, Type IV, and Type V, Easy Rack can fine tune your lighting design to perfection. All we need to get started is you to send a drawing of your parking lot to [email protected] and a consultant will design a solution!

Easy Rack has been selling industrial light fixtures, commercial lighting fixtures, parking lot lighting kits and providing all types of material handling supplies and equipment for years. Easy Rack ships nationwide to any major city to our clients. Whether you live in New York City, San Francisco California, Chicago Illinois, Dallas Texas, Philadelphia Pennsylvania, or even Tucson Arizona, Easy Rack can ship your lighting fixture package straight to the job.

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.
