RLM Lighting Has Come Out of the Barn
The great American architect Louis Sullivan was famous for coining the
phrase “form follows function,” a maxim that defined many of his own
buildings. Essentially, he meant that the shape of an object (or
building) should be based on the function it’s intended to serve.

Beam Spread Basics for Getting Industrial Lighting Where It’s Needed
Industrial settings can pose harsh conditions for light fixtures.
Temperature extremes, corrosive environments and complicated spatial
arrangements can combine to create a need for hardy equipment that can
be adapted to meet a broad range of lighting requirements.

Shining a Light on Occupancy and Vacancy Sensors
If you grew up like I did, in a home where thriftiness was highly
valued, you likely heard the phrase “Turn off those lights!” on a
regular basis. Leaving lights on in empty rooms was seen as a sign of
laziness and wastefulness. Over the past decade, a number of energy
codes have picked up on this message, with mandates for sensing and
controls to help reduce electricity use and the greenhouse gas emissions
that might be related to its production.

How to Ensure Lighting Controls Match the Longevity of Today’s LEDs
I’m currently in the process of planning a kitchen remodeling project
and learning even more about LED lighting in the process. For example,
one of the electricians looking over the room for an estimate noted that
his company pretty much only works with dedicated LED downlights, now –
in other words, fixtures that work with embedded LEDs, rather than more
generic units that would work with LED bulbs – or any other kind of
bulb, for that matter.

Wireless Helps Contractors Work Smarter Not Harder
Lighting impacts virtually every aspect of a building, and as a result,
contractors are always looking for solutions that make lighting control
easier to estimate, faster to install, and more profitable.

Latest Advancements Allow Standalone Area Lighting – No Wires Required
Off-grid lighting products were once restricted to truly off-grid
locations. Old-school lead-acid batteries needed regular maintenance and
the added costs made these fixtures only practical where wiring simply
wasn’t possible, in applications like remote cell towers or other such
locations. That’s changing quickly, though. New all-in-one options
combine high-efficiency LED fixtures with attached solar panels and
lithium-ion batteries, creating affordable new possibilities for
wires-free area lighting installations, even in dense urban locations.
