Industrial lighting poles are necessary for a number of environments around commercial facilities. Parking lots require them for safety purposes and to fulfill legal requirements for minimal lighting levels. Walkways and outdoor break facilities need lighting, and often the most practical means of doing this is to mount fixtures on short industrial lighting poles. This contributes toward minimizing costs on security lighting because shorter poles with lower wattages will often offset the number of high wattage floodlights used to secure a facility. One can use pole mounted lights for the interior of a property, and secure the perimeter with floodlights.
Industrial lighting poles are engineered and manufactured to the highest specifications in the industry. They are specially treated with a systematic process that has been devised to maximize long life and performance. Industrial lighting poles feature a one piece construction with a uniform wall thickness. Manufactured from weldable carbon steel, RLLD industrial light poles feature a 55,000 PSI, and they conform to ASTMA-500 grade C standards. A number of treatment steps are taken to ensure pole lifespan. First, the lighting poles are cleaned with a process known as “wheelabration” at a pressure of 4,000 PSI to remove all dirt, grit, and industrial by products. This creates a condition known as “white metal” that helps powder coating better adhere to the surface of the pole. Any number of finish colors can then be applied. The interior of the pole must now be protected in a similar manner to prevent pollution and salt spray from corroding the pole’s interior. In order to counter these corrosive agents, RLLD Commercial lighting coats the interior of its industrial poles with a rust inhibitive brown steel primer that is fully compliant with ATSMB-117 regulations. In extremely polluted areas of the country, or in facilities located near coastal waterways, we will also galvanize your industrial light poles upon request with a zinc steel allow that provides an extra barrier against corrosion and a better surface for powder coating to adhere to.
The size of the area you will be lighting will in turn determine the height and number of industrial light poles you install. The taller the poles, the larger the area your luminance will extend. This may, however, require more powerful lights. Make sure if you go this route you consult with a lighting specialist first to make certain you have made the most energy efficient selection.
Shorter poles can be either functional or decorative in nature, and can be utilized as both parking lot lights and outdoor park or landscape lights to mount any number of fixture types ranging from HPS, HM and fluorescent. New LED lighting fixtures will soon be emerging on the market to offer even more options for energy efficiency and environmentally friendly lighting. Due to the wide diversity of facilities, RLLD Commercial Lighting supplies poles ranging from 10-50 feet in height. Industrial lighting specialists will help you determine which heights will best match the requirements of your facility based on wind load requirements for your part of the country, square footage of your site lighting design, footcandle minimums of your community, and operating budget for electric costs.
Developing a truly effective industrial site lighting system often requires a great deal of planning and calculation, and this can often delay time to market. Lead time is another factor that frequently frustrates the architect, general contractor, builder, or commercial lighting designer. RLLD Commercial Lighting specialists are here to help solve both problems by making free consultation services available to all clients, and to expedite lead time through rapid drop shipping of industrial lighting poles and fixtures to all parts of the United States.

Tools, all gardeners need them, but which tools to buy? What tools will I really use? A good quality tool will get much more use and will last much longer, than a tool you bought just because it was on sale.
The following is a list of Garden Tools all gardeners should have in their shed:
Wheelbarrow- A tough, lightweight wheelbarrow is a must. A 5-6 cubic foot bin that is made of plastic (I know plastic, yuck) will last 100 times longer and be much lighter than a steel bin. This will enable you to move larger, heavier items with ease.
Rakes – Rakes are essential for good gardening. A leaf rake 24″ or 30″ is standard. I like a metal rake, because it gets through wet, heavy leaves easily. A shrub rake is a great thing to have for getting in between and under bushes. It’s usually only 10″-12″ in width. A hard rake is necessary for grading and leveling soil and mulch.
Shovels- A good strong hand shovel for planting, bulbs, annuals and perennials is a must. Shovels with a cushioned grip are great on your hands and increase leverage. A round point shovel is great for digging holes and shoveling up dirt. A spade or flat edge shovel is a must for edging beds, dividing perennials, etc.
Pruning equipment- Pruning shears are one of the most important tools for all gardeners. Hacking away at a plant with dull tools can do a lot of damage. Hand pruners are great for pruning roses, small shrubs and perennials. Loppers are like hand pruners with long handles for pruning larger diameter branches, large shrubs and small branches on trees. Pruning snips are like extra heavy-duty scissors that are great for cutting flowers. A pole saw is great to have for trimming high branches on trees. It is a saw on one side and a lopper on the other. They usually have a telescopic pole and I recommend one with a lightweight fiberglass pole. This makes balancing easier.
Tank Sprayer- A good 1 or 2 gallon tank sprayer is great for spraying insect, disease and weed control. They usually have a pump pressure spray action. This will enable you to spray larger areas at a time than ready-to-use sprays. Do not use weed control in the same tank as insect and disease control. You run the risk of killing your plants if residue is left in the tank.
Good quality tools like Friskers, True Temper, Radius and Truper will perform well and last for years to come. When it comes to garden tools, quality is the only way to go. They will save you time, money and backaches in the long run.
Lawn Mower-People more now than in recent years are turning to Push Reel Mowers to keep their lawns in manicured condition. They do not require gas, nor electric and they do the job as well as any push behind mower. The technology going into the design and manufacturing of this new breed of mower is far superior than the old type our grand parents and great grand parents used. The Brill Razorcut 38, from Germany only weighs 17 lbs and the blades only need sharpening about every 8 to 10 years. It comes with an optional grass catcher. Sun Lawn makes an equally advanced push reel mower at a higher cost for it’s top model, and Scott’s has had their classic 20″ for a long time.
Choosing your Garden Tools-Always remember to choose tools that are of a higher quality and meet all safety requirements. Gardening and Landscaping can be fun and rewarding but you must always adhere to the manufacturer safety warnings. Prepare yourself with the right tool for the job and you will always enjoy the results of your labor.
