Commercial Ceiling Mount Vandal Proof Lighting Fixtures By Kimberly Quang At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

In areas where heavy traffic or equipment use can inadvertently break or damage overhead lights, commercial vandal proof ceiling mount lighting fixtures offer a form of lighting whose higher impact and scratch resistance makes them harder to break, dislodge, or tamper with. Commercial ceiling mount vandal proof light fixtures offer schools, public buildings, shopping malls, and indoor apartments and condominiums a long-term, reliable source of lighting that is needs only rare, occasional maintenance. There are four distinct lines of commercial vandal proof ceiling mount fixtures, each consisting of different lamping and design features that differentiate its special value as being optimal for specific environments and/or budgets.

Fluorescent lights combine energy efficiency with vandal proof fixture durability and performance. The commercial grade ceiling mount fixtures ship with 26, 32, or 42-watt compact commercial grade fluorescent lamps included. These ceiling mount vandal proof fixtures come in either white or bronze finishes to match ceiling decor, and they are UL listed for all regions of the United States, including extremely humid areas along the Gulf Coast and extremely dry desert areas in the Southwest. Each fixture includes two forms of tamper proofing. A Torx-head center pin secures the unit itself in place, and slotted Phillips head stainless steel screws fasten the aluminum housing firmly in place to the ceiling. The refractor is made from injection-molded polycarbonate, and is designed for maximum structural strength. Heavy gauge cold rolled steel with high reflectance baked white enamel makes up the reflector and the backplate. These lights are ideal for smaller school districts and civic buildings in small towns on tight budgets.

High-pressure sodium lamps offer a compact, high output form of vandal proof lighting in cramped quarters. As they produce light by passing an arc through sodium gas mixed with other elements, both their lumens per watt output and physical bulb life are the highest producers in our selection of ceiling mounted vandal proof lighting fixtures. The high-pressure sodium fixtures deliver a reliable 24,000 hours of lamp life in almost every situation and lighting environment. Like their fluorescent equivalents, they are designed to optimally perform in damp and wet areas as well as dry regions of the country. We have two models available from which to choose: a low wattage model and a high wattage model. Both come in a similar physical design consisting of die cast aluminum housing with a transparent polycarbonate refractor. Our high-wattage model houses 100 or 150 watt High Pressure Sodium bulbs and is often used for outdoor security lighting. The low wattage model serves as a great overhead source of bright, energy saving light for indoor light ideal for workrooms, warehouses and even garages. All high pressure sodium vandal proof lights come with lamps included, and customers can choose when they order which bulb sizes they desire, or ask one of our experts for a recommended wattage based on fixture placement, usage, and purpose.

Incandescent ceiling mounted vandal proof light fixtures offer commercial establishments a sturdy fixture with a reflector made from die formed heavy gauge steel in white finish with clear polycarbonate refractor. Bulbs are not included with these fixtures, but two 75-Watt A-19 incandescent bulbs with medium base measurements can be ordered in conjunction with these units and installed wherever needed. These are good solid light producers for high ceiling areas where glare and bright light will not present a distraction.

Commercial metal halide lamps in vandal proof ceiling mounted fixtures include the same essential specifications of our other models, but they offer an additional point of value through a quartz restrike option that provides immediate illumination in case of momentary power failure. Our high voltage halide lamps offer 150 or 175 watts of power with a lamp life of 10,000 hours. In situations where the lights do not have to stay on for long hours, but nonetheless produce superior visibility, they offer great benefit. Many commercial clients use halide high-pressure sodium vandal proof lights for adjunct outdoor security lighting. Indoor low voltage equivalents offer the same essential value package with lower wattage and a longer lamp life of up to 15,000 hours.
