Wall Mounted Lighting Fixtures. Commercial Area, Security, Accent & Area Lighting Wallpack Lights

By R. Neal

Wall mounted lights perform three important functions integral to effective outdoor commercial lighting. First, they create general lighting for pedestrian around buildings and outdoor structures. General lighting should provide enough visibility to allow people to clearly differentiate between objects and judge distances accurately. Wall mounted lighting also plays a major role in accent lighting. Since many wall mounted fixtures feature highly geometric and decorative designs, they contribute very well to the overall aesthetic of almost any building. Security lighting, although most frequently done with landscape floodlights, also depends to some extend on wall mounted fixtures. Wall mounted flood lights on the corners and sides of large buildings can create a significant deterrent to criminal mischief by keeping main access points clearly visible to security personnel and cameras at all times.

When balanced in the right proportions, these three aspects of wall mounted lighting will work together to create a perimeter of illumination around any structure that creates a safer environment and a better overall aesthetic for the grounds.

General Lighting Fixtures

A Spartan approach is the best approach when it comes to installing wall mounted luminaires for general lighting. Contrary to popular misconception, the human eye does not need a great deal of light to see clearly at night. Scientific studies have proven that actual levels of light are far less important than the ability to see basic shapes, differentiate between objects and shadows, and to judge distance accurately.

Basic fluorescent wall packs are generally all that is required to create an even, glare free field of illumination around most buildings. Fluorescent wall mounted lighting offers several cost effective advantages over incandescent and halogen light fixtures. Fluorescents will last much longer and do not need to be replaced nearly as frequently. They also use far less power and can be left on throughout the night at significantly lower costs to your client’s overall operating budget.

Accent Lighting Fixture

Square and round brick and step lights are ideal luminaires to brighten up stairways and walls around outdoor courtyards and building entrances. Directional accent lights with highly decorative fixture designs are also available when specific lighting effects are desired, or when precise lighting levels around certain structures are necessary. RLLD Commercial Lighting provides a wide selection of square and round wall mounted lights that make an excellent compliment to landscape and path lighting around public facilities, schools, churches, and civic center.

When more intense levels of light are called for, you may need to use larger, more robust fixture. Since these fixtures will present an obvious visual even to the casual viewer, it is necessary to use the most decorative luminaires possible. The more sophisticated fixtures feature aluminum manufacture with a multitude of finish options to compliment the colors of the building. They also feature a variety of mounting options and triple axis directional control that allows them to be pointed in any direction.

In many cases, wall mounted lights play an important role in security lighting. This is particularly true in the industrial community, where buildings are very large and have several access points to the interior of the facility. Every one of these access points represents a point of vulnerability if it is obscured by shadows. Protecting these access points means making them clearly visible to either CCTV cameras or security personnel stationed in the facility. Wall mounted floodlights can be installed with remote sensors that trigger the lights when motion is detected. If the lights need to remain on throughout the night, there are a number of newer HID and fluorescent models to choose from that offer excellent lumens per watt efficiency. These newer lights work well with automatic timers that turn the lights on and off at certain hours.

When installing any kind of wall mounted lights, it is always best to have a photometric analysis of the building(s) performed first. This report will show where problem areas of shadow may potentially arise and help better determine the necessary lumens output and directional angles of incidence required to create the most evenly distributed and aesthetically balanced field of illumination.

Natural Beauty on a Budget – No-Cost and Low-Cost Techniques For Beautiful Skin

By D.S. Braun

Ok, no matter WHAT the ads tell you, the BEST things you can do for your skin are:

1) Drink plenty of water

2) Get enough quality rest

3) Minimize Stress – and don’t STAY stressed – breathe, Meditate, dance, whatever it takes to de-stress (and always remember to laugh!)

4) Good nutrition – you’d think this would be a ‘duh’ – but it really is one of the most often over-looked must-do’s

5) Exercise – yes, exercise – walking, running, aerobics, Yoga – heck I blast my 80s rock and 70s disco while the kids are at school and dance like an idiot while no one is home to watch! No one says exercise has to be boring, ritualized nor uniform. And, dancing has the added benefit of being FUN.

6) Take a quality Multi-Vitamin and Mineral supplement and please don’t forget to supplement with Omega-3 Fish Oils and Flax Oil. You’ll be amazed at the difference in your skin.

7) LOVE YOUR SKIN – ok, this sounds silly, but I’m serious. Thought creates reality. What the mind professes, the body expresses. Love your skin. Massage it, caress it, LOVE IT.

Now, for some no- and low-cost solutions for your skin….

1) Facial massage. Forget the creams for a minute. The single thing (besides general good health) that will benefit your face? Massage. Seriously. Wrinkles? Massage them. Sagging jaws? Massage them. Double chin? Again, Massage. Now, you can do this with your finger tips, with your favorite *rounded end* crystal or even with an electro-acupuncture device. But, bottom line is, massage!

You can combine the following facial exercises with your Skin Care program. Due to the fact that skin responds well to this type of stimulation, you will see results in lines, complexion, tone and elasticity. As an added bonus, this type of massage strengthens the underlying muscles and results in the signs of aging becoming diminished.

Use the balls of your fingertips as well as the palms of your hands. For all exercises, use gentle, but firm, pressure – this is not supposed to hurt!

If you notice that some spots you massage are tender this means you are probably hitting the precise spots. Tenderness will diminish and disappear altogether with time.

Toning around the eyes

Using your favorite Moisturizer or essential oil blend, use your middle fingers to work around each eye simultaneously. Use slight pressure – be gentle with the eye area – and circle the eyes from the inside corner of your eyebrows, following the entire eyebrow, and back around to where you started.

Repeat this circular massage 30-35 times (in one sitting) each day.

This type of stimulation of the facial muscles will tone, relax and increase Circulation to the eye area, which in turn results in diminished signs of aging.

Revitalizing the Eyes

In this exercise, the Acupressure point at the side of your face, approximately 1/4 inch past the outside corner of your eye (this is right on the outer curve of the bone around the eye), is stimulated. The second point to stimulate is directly in line and under your pupil on the top edge of the cheekbone.

This massage can soften lines and Wrinkles in the eye area. Starting with the corner points, press each simultaneously for 3 seconds and then release for a count of three. Do this 30 times and then move on to the point on the cheek bone. Do all of this in one sitting and repeat these sets 3 times a day if possible.

2) Water – yes, yes, I know I spouted off about water before, but it’s important. Internally AND externally. Make SURE you wash your face twice a day – finishing the wash with a cool water rinse. And, when you have a few spare minutes….don’t just hastily put the cleanser on and rinse off – take a couple minutes to massage your face – during the wash and during the rinse.

3) Oxygen – I know this sounds silly, but oxygen is important – as a matter of fact, it’s crucial. So, BREATHE – breathe deep and long. Start by breathing in for a count of 4 and out for a count of four – do this five times. See if you can work your way up to a count of 15 – practice it throughout the day, but do it at *least* once a day. Sun and free radicals aren’t the only things that cause Wrinkles, ya know – stress does too. And what do we do when stressed? We breath more shallow, our heart rate goes up, our digestion stops, our blood pressure goes up and blood is diverted to the limbs from all ‘non-essential’ body systems. Bring the blood and oxygen back – BREATHE. Speaking of oxygen… try to get some fresh air each day too!

We all want to believe the marketing hype – that we can find eternal youth in jars and tubes. But really, the secrets are so much more basic. Good nutrition, exercise, attitude and simple, natural techniques which can improve your health and take years off of your appearance.

Airport Car Rentals

By David Patullo

Have you ever considered the option of renting a car when traveling for personal pleasure or business? In today’s economy, we are constantly focusing on paring down our expenses to only what is truly necessary. However, when you compare cost versus convenience, timed gained, and frustration reduced, renting a car may actually be a big savings in the end! This short article will hopefully provide some valuable information that will allow you to carefully weigh all of your options when planning any type of trip where expectations are high and schedules are restricted.

Choice and multiple options are of paramount importance when engaging in any type of vacation or business excursion. Although airports will greatly differ in size, most all major car rental companies have a presence in them, and offer a wide variety of vehicles to suit the tastes and lifestyle of most any individual or family.

COST is a four letter word… As is the word WAIT. However, you will usually find that those who do not wait until the last minute to reserve a rental car will reap the rewards of a substantial reduction in cost. And LESS is word we can all embrace with a smile! To the point, the earlier you plan in advance can translate into deeper discounts when making a reservation. Allowing the companies themselves the opportunity to better schedule resources further out in the process not only makes their job easier, but reduces their own costs. These reductions are then passed along to you as a reward for being an organized customer! However, in times where last minute trips arise, always be sure to compare and contrast who may be offering special weekend packages or weekly rates.

Picture this scenario: You have just completed a very long flight to your destination. You disembark to a new airport in the middle of an unfamiliar city. After locating the baggage claim and retrieving your belongings, amid hundreds of other passengers who are also just as tired and anxious to begin their respective purposes, you proceed to the bus or taxi stand where you then wait in a long line for anywhere from ten to forty minutes. Upon reaching your accommodations, you go about obtaining not only the typical tourist attraction brochures, but the maps that go with them. From that point on, your options are either to walk or continue to spend more money on continuous fares and tips for public transportation. Think about how much this trip has already cost you, and you have only just begun it!

OR…

After disembarking the plane, you immediately pass the car rental counter, pick up your keys, grab your luggage, and drive away in a vehicle that is yours to take you efficiently and expediently anywhere your trip dictates.

When you evaluate time and money spent in both examples…. You’re making that car rental reservation now, aren’t you? We knew we could depend on you to make the right decision!
