Commercial Lighting

Metal Craft Spinning Custom Commercial Lighting Uses

Industrial and commercial spaces rely on commercial lighting to provide good environments for work, socializing, shopping, and other uses. Commercial lighting appears in a multitude of settings, with different levels of luminescence and focused light for different applications.

The most popular types of commercial lighting use fluorescent or LED systems to illuminate large areas in environmentally efficient and cost-effective ways. These lighting fixtures use reflective panels and energy-saving bulbs to amplify light output without consuming excessive amounts of electricity. This results in longer lifespans, enhanced durability, and better energy savings from your lighting equipment.

Because of all this, navigating the world of commercial lighting can be tricky—with so many options and customizable features to choose from, it can be hard to determine the best solution for you or your client’s needs. For this reason, it’s important to work closely with lighting manufacturers to determine the best course of action for your next lighting project. Some common applications of commercial lighting include:

  • Stores use overhead commercial lighting to create bright, day-like conditions for shoppers
  • Offices use commercial lighting to create environments that maximize productivity—some office lighting even emits vitamin D to boost employee morale
  • Large buildings like schools and government institutions often need different light levels in different areas of their facilities, such as in lobbies, walkways, and halls, depending on the functionality and aesthetic requirements of each area
  • Hospitals require bright lighting to keep medical workers alert and to boost visibility during delicate procedures

About Metal Craft

 Materials We Work With

The versatility of metal spinning allows for work with a wide range of materials essential to commercial lighting manufacturing:

Each material brings specific advantages to commercial lighting applications, allowing manufacturers to match material properties to specific component requirements.

Metal Craft Spinning & Stamping Custom Commercial Lighting Products

Metal Craft has manufactured top-quality lighting and lighting reflectors for over 50 years. We perform both metal spinning and metal stamping on materials ranging from brass, copper, stainless steel, and cold-rolled steel.

We most often use aluminum in our commercial lighting projects. Aluminum’s reflective surface and light weight make it a great candidate for use in industrial lighting.

We also use a variety of tools, including CNC machines, hand lathes, and hydraulic presses to manufacture custom lighting solutions to client specifications. We offer plating, anodizing, and metalizing services depending on the kind of lighting fixtures you aim to create.

We have the capability to provide pieces for both low and high-volume orders as needed. Our engineering department can work with you to design a prototype to ensure that you achieve the project goals you’ve set. We can produce a large selection of shapes including: 

  • Dished
  • Domed
  • Domed with flange
  • Flanged
  • Flanged and flued
  • Flanged, dished, and flued
  • Hemisphere
  • Semi-elliptical
  • Trumpet

If you don’t see the basic shape you have in mind for your part or product in the list above, we have the engineering, design, and tooling expertise to make your custom shape reality, and at the precision tolerances, you require. 

Common Custom Commercial Lighting Fixtures Manufactured By Metalcraft Spinning

We build several varieties of lighting fixtures for our clients, including:

These ceiling fixtures consist of long, tubular bulbs housed in translucent lenses that amplify light output. While many fixtures contain two bulbs, some fixtures can accommodate one, three, or four bulbs as needed. Energy efficient and built to last, tubular fluorescent light fixtures are one of the most common ways to light offices, schools, and facilities that see daily use.

Areas that require softer, more natural lighting, as well as lamps and other small lighting devices, use compact fluorescent bulbs to efficiently provide desired illumination levels. Compact fluorescent bulbs consist of tubes that twist around an axis to make them fit in small spaces. Because of this, they come with many of the same benefits as incandescent bulbs, but they’re safer and more energy efficient than older lighting techniques.

T5 fluorescent fixtures consist of long-lasting fluorescent bulbs that you can hang in troffer and high-bay/high-ceiling settings. They require minimal maintenance and are great for helping you cut down on energy usage. Sometimes, these light fixtures also accommodate LED bulbs, which is becoming more common as technology improves.

LED lights operate by running electricity through a semiconductor and then amplifying the resulting light with reflecting panels. Typically, LED lights group a large amount of these semiconductor–reflector setups together to produce more light. Installing LED lights may require some modifications to your fixtures, but improved energy savings will offset these expenses. LED lighting also lowers your A/C bill as they generate much less heat than other light fixtures.
