Industrial light poles

Industrial Light Poles

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.

Is your house in need of a document storage system

Is Your House in Need of a Document Storage System?

We get the gas bills, the phone bills, bank statements, insurance documents, receipts, pay slips, a work portfolio, a half written novel, they all build up. Many people are drowning in paper, and need proper document storage systems. Do we even know how long we should keep all this paperwork? Most people are hoarders by nature, but surely a year is long enough for most bills and statements. But even a year’s worth takes a lot of space. Most houses are not that large and we do not have a room for a dedicated office, so what can we do? Some people will store a few documents bit by bit, a bit in the kitchen drawer, a bit in the hall cupboard, a bit in under the bed, and a bit in the living room. It is a nightmare to find things if you do this.

But at least one document storage problem has been solved. You can sign up to a list that stops you from getting any junk mail, well except the hand delivered pizza menus, but who doesn’t want them once in a while? Although the general document storage system for junk mail was always the bin. But at least we can save some trees now.

However, that’s beside the point. What can we do about our document storage? Continue scattering our mail around the house? Box it away in your deepest darkest closet. Yes, that has been tried. And do you know what happens? A week or so later you will need to check something so it all comes back out creating mess. You rifle through this box and that file. Sometimes you never find what we are looking for. We all need a personal assistant to sort out our mail and file it by type of bill and by month. Who has the time or inclination to do it themselves? And also, most people do not have the funds for a personal assistant. Either it is time for all houses to be built with office space, or we all need to buy document storage systems, or both.

In fact there are a wide variety of home-friendly document storage systems that you can fit into your home to suit the space you have. And you do not have to have loads of ugly shelving units full of dull-looking box files. Many of the most progressive sellers offer attractive shelving units that take up little space, yet provide a wonderful amount of document storage. The actual documents can be placed in built-in cupboards or free-standing storage boxes, and here there is a wide range of attractive options for materials and colours. There is something for every type of home and style of decoration.

One very successful way to approach document storage boxes in the home is to have attractive, stylish shelving units along a wall. The lower part of the shelving would be in the form of cupboards, and the upper part open shelves. This way, you can store all that pesky paperwork out of sight in the cupboards, and use the upper shelves for your TV, sound system, CDs, DVDs and ornaments.

How appraisers and home inspectors are protected with errors and omissions insurance

How Appraisers and Home Inspectors are Protected with Errors and Omissions Insurance

Home Appraisers and Home Inspectors are important and necessary experts in real estate transactions, but their roles are quite different. Appraisers determine the value of a property, and this information is also used in the estimation of homeowners insurance and real estate taxes. Appraisers inspect a home, its property, amenities and upgrades, and also research other local properties and their values to determine what a home is worth.

Home Inspectors are not Appraisers. Home Inspectors look for defects in a home, or problems which could lead to future repairs for the homeowner. They look for structural problems, in addition to electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling issues that indicate immediate repair needs, or potential future problems. Both fields are vulnerable to law suits, and need to be covered by Appraiser E&O Insurance and Home Inspector E&O Insurance to protect their businesses.

If a lender or buyer has a financial loss that they believe was caused by negligence on the part of the Appraiser, they can sue. Appraiser E&O insurance will protect Appraisers from large financial losses from settlements and legal fees. Even if the Appraiser is not at fault, they can be held responsible. They are especially vulnerable in a volatile economy when values plummet, and attempts are made by owners to regain losses from decreased property values.

Home Inspector E&O insurance is critical for protecting Inspectors because of the nature of their business. If something goes wrong in a home, the homeowner may quickly blame a Home Inspector for not recognizing the potential problem. Home Inspectors may not have been able to foresee a fault in a home despite a thorough inspection, but still be sued by the homeowner. Errors and Omissions insurance can protect the Home Inspector business and its employees from monetary loss.

If an Appraiser or Home Inspector is held responsible for mistakes or oversights, it is essential protection to have coverage with Errors and Omissions insurance. It is even a requirement in some states to have this type of insurance for Home Inspectors and Appraisers, and it guards the business, its owners, employees and subcontractors from losses.

How to avoid having two separate businesses to market even if you offer two services

How to Avoid Having Two Separate Businesses to Market Even if You Offer Two Services

I get a lot of questions from small business owners who have two major problems they solve or two services they offer in one business. I’m not really sure why this is so prevalent?but I have a feeling that it might have to do with the reluctance that a lot of small business owners feel when it comes to paring down their services or target audiences.

I know I’m extra-guilty of this. I’ve been advised to just offer logo design, marketing material design or website design?not all three. But I can’t bear the thought of limiting myself to just one area. I think the three are so intertwined that they all need to be addressed together. Because they’re so intertwined, it’s easy to talk about them together.

But, what if the two things you do aren’t actually directly related?

If you’re trying to market two seemingly separate products or services, then it might be tempting to separate them and create two companies?one to promote service A and another to promote service B. But, along with two companies comes marketing twice, That means two logos, two business cards (and wondering which one to hand out to get the most out of networking events!), two websites (and maintaining and updating two websites) and two newsletter lists to keep in touch with your clients.

Two newsletter lists means at least two articles per month, two mailing lists, two newsletter template designs and the need to format two newsletters in your email program. Then you need to add the articles to your website. That winds up being a lot of work?and that’s just if you’re putting each newsletter out once a month.

How to avoid this extra work

Instead of separating your two (or three) services into different companies, or even separating your lists within one company, work on finding out what your services have in common. After all, you’re offering both products or services, so they must involve a common skill or interest or solve a common problem, right?

I call this exercise «finding the thread.» Take a piece of paper, write down your different services and then draw lines connecting them. These lines are your thread?the single factor that connects all the things you do for your clients.

Try to keep the thread simple?you don’t want the connection to be too obscure or not to make sense to your clients.

The thread is often something that comes as second nature to you. You think that this thread is so important that you may do it without noticing. So, asking some of your clients to help you connect the dots or asking a friend or spouse may help you identify the thread more easily.

Once you have found the thread…

Use it as the basis of all of your marketing materials. Instead of focusing your home page copy on your services, focus on the problem that your clients are facing that can be mended with the thread you offer. Build your logo around the thread (which is also often what makes you different from your competition. Your competitors probably don’t have this same thread holding their services together). Write the articles in your newsletter with an emphasis on the thread instead of just writing about the services you offer. And, sew everything you do together by always concentrating on this thread.

If you focus on finding and talking about the thread that holds all of your offerings together, then you won’t have to separate them into different businesses. You’ll be able to make everything you do make sense for your clients in one package. And, you won’t have to do all of that extra marketing work.
