Benefits of Galvanized Light Fixtures
 

Economic Benefits

Galvanizing has a lower overall cost compared to other coatings. If you are looking to save money, then you'll want to make sure you switch over to galvanized light fixtures as soon as possible. This can help to save a fortune when you are using galvanized light fixtures in large quantities, ensuring that you keep on track with your budget for any project you are working on.

 

 

Toughest Coating

A galvanized coating has a unique metallurgical structure that gives outstanding resistance to mechanical damage in transport, erection, and service. When compared to other coating and material options, it's much tougher for a range of construction projects. In fact, it's one of the toughest coatings on the market today, allowing you to use it in difficult weather conditions and situations.

Durability

Coating life and performance are reliable and predictable. You'll find that one of the top benefits of galvanized light fixtures is that it's much more durable than regular steel. The coating helps to protect the material, reducing the chance of corrosion. This means you'll be much less likely to need to replace the material in the future.

 

 

Complete Protection

Every part of a galvanized light fixtures is protected, even recesses, sharp corners, and inaccessible areas. No coating applied to a structure or fabrication after completion can provide the same protection. This means that once you install the galvanized steel installation, you don't have to waste time adding further protection to the project.

Less Maintenance

Galvanized light fixtures lasts far longer than other materials and needs less maintenance. This will save you time and resources in the long run, which can be better used elsewhere to maintain your projects and materials.

 

 

Long Life Expectancy

The life expectancy of galvanized coatings on most structural members is typically in excess of 50 years in most rural environments and 20 to 25 years or more with severe urban and coastal exposure.

Hygienic

Galvanized light fixtures has an easy to clean surface. If you are working on a project which will need to be cleaned regularly, you'll find this material is easy to clean and maintain. Especially during the challenging times we all find ourselves in, this is more important than ever.

 

 

Ease of Inspection

Galvanized coatings are assessed readily by eye, and simple non-destructive thickness testing methods can be used. You can easily see if the galvanized light fixture is still in good condition or whether it will need a replacement in the near future. These checks will take just minutes, as opposed to needing to dismantle any type of structure to find out what's going on with your material.

 
Manufacturing of Galvanized Light Fixtures

Step1. Material Selection
The first step involves selecting the appropriate materials for the light fixtures, usually steel or aluminum. The materials are inspected for quality and durability.

 

Step2. Fabrication
The selected materials are cut, shaped, and welded to form the light fixture's structure. This involves precision cutting and welding processes to ensure that the poles are strong and stable.

 

Step3. Surface Preparation
The surfaces of the light fixtures are prepared for galvanization by cleaning and degreasing to remove any impurities, rust, or debris. This step is critical for ensuring proper adhesion of the galvanized coating.

 

Step4. Hot Dip Galvanizing
The prepared light fixtures are immersed in a bath of molten zinc at temperatures around 450°C (850°F). The zinc coating bonds to the surface of the poles, providing corrosion protection.

 

Step5. Inspection
After galvanization, the light fixtures undergo thorough inspection to check for coating thickness, uniformity, and any imperfections. Quality control measures are employed to ensure that the galvanized coating meets industry standards.

 

Step6. Final Assembly
After passing inspection, the light fixtures are assembled with any additional components, such as electrical wiring, and mounting hardware.

 

Step7. Packaging and Shipping
The finished hot dip galvanized light fixtures are packaged and prepared for shipment to their intended destination.

How to choose Galvanized Light Fixtures?

Start by Making a List of the Fixtures You Need.

Make an overall assessment of where you need lighting fixtures in your home, and then list the lighting fixtures you need according to your needs, for example, wall lights, spotlights, floor lights, etc.

Determine the General Style/Design Direction of Your Fixtures.

Use your decorating style as a guide for choosing your light fixtures. Once you've got that figured out, the easiest thing to do is to stick to light fixtures that fit nicely into those style categories and keep the theme going throughout your home. There are certainly ways to make a more eclectic mix work beautifully, but I think for most people, keeping it simple is a key to success!

Pick your Metal Finish.

Choose the right metal finish based on your home's overall style and your preferences. Also note the usage instructions for different metal finishes; for example, polished nickel has warm undertones, while chrome has cool undertones.

Choose Fixtures with Similar “Lines” and “Feels.”

Generally, if you can echo design elements from one fixture to another, that's going to help a ton with a cohesive look. For example, if your dining room chandelier is minimalist with a curvy shape like the one I have in my matte black lighting plan below, you might choose island pendants that are also minimalist and have a bit of a curve to them. The simple pendants I included in that same plan are just that.

 
Tips for Optimal Performance and Longevity
 

Regular Dusting and Cleaning
Soft Cloth or Duster: Gently wipe down surfaces to remove dust.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Refrain from using abrasive or chemical-laden cleaners that could damage finishes.

 
 

Chandelier Cleaning, Lamp Care, Pendant Maintenance
Different fixtures require specific cleaning approaches. Tailor your cleaning routine to the type of fixture:
Chandeliers: Disassemble carefully, clean crystals or glass elements, and wipe down metal parts.
Lamps: Dust shades, clean bases, and check wiring for any signs of wear.
Pendants: Wipe down surfaces and ensure any exposed bulbs are clean for optimal brightness.

 
 

Pay Attention to Bulbs and Wiring
Maintaining your lighting fixtures goes beyond their external appearance. Regularly inspect bulbs and wiring:
Replace Burnt-Out Bulbs Promptly: This ensures consistent brightness and prevents strain on the fixture.
Secure Wiring Connections: Tighten loose connections and replace any damaged wiring promptly.
Turn Off Power: Always turn off the power supply before handling bulbs or checking wiring to ensure safety.

 
 

Addressing Rust and Corrosion
For fixtures with metal components, preventing rust and corrosion is crucial:
Apply Protective Coatings: Consider using protective coatings on outdoor fixtures to prevent rust.
Use Rust Inhibitors: Apply rust inhibitors on metal parts exposed to moisture.
Regularly Inspect for Signs of Rust: Address any rust spots promptly to prevent further damage.

 
 

Seasonal Checks and Adjustments
With changing seasons, it's essential to adapt your maintenance routine:
Outdoor Fixtures: Inspect outdoor fixtures for damage after harsh weather conditions.
Adjust for Humidity: In humid climates, check for signs of moisture damage and address promptly.
Winter Precautions: Take precautions to protect outdoor fixtures from frost and extreme cold.

 

Process of Galvanized Light Fixtures

 

 

Degreasing
Organic surface contaminants, such as oils and some paint, are carefully removed from the steel by suitable preliminary treatment, usually via a caustic solution. Some paints, lacquers and oils may need to be removed prior to arriving at the galvanizing plant.

 

Pickling
After degreasing, the steel undergoes pickling or acid cleaning to remove rust and any mill scale. Hydrochloric acid is most commonly used for this purpose, although sulphuric acid is also used.

 

Fluxing
The acid-cleaned steel article is immersed in a flux solution, containing zinc ammonium chloride, and usually operating at 50-70°C. The flux solution removes any oxide film which forms on the steel surface after acid cleaning, preventing further oxidation before galvanizing and activating the surface. The work is then dried ready for galvanizing.

 

Galvanizing
Prepared items are galvanized by immersion in molten zinc. On immersion in the galvanizing bath the steel surface is completely covered by the molten zinc, which reacts with the steel to form a series of zinc-iron alloy layers. The thickness of these layers is determined principally by the mass of the steel being galvanized. This is an important advantage of the galvanizing process – a standard minimum coating thickness is applied automatically regardless of the operator. To allow formation of the coating the work remains in the bath until its temperature reaches that of the molten zinc, in the range of 445°C to 465°C. The work is then withdrawn at a controlled rate and carries with it an outer layer of molten zinc which solidifies to form the relatively pure outer zinc coating.

Galvanizing Fasteners and Other Small Components Via the Centrifuge Process
Fasteners and small components are loaded into perforated cylindrical steel baskets. After acid pickling and fluxing, baskets are lowered into the galvanizing bath. On withdrawal from the molten zinc, baskets are raised without delay into a centrifuge or 'spinner' and rotated at high speeds for 15 to 20 seconds. Excess zinc is thrown off, providing a smooth, uniform coating and maintaining the integrity of threaded items.

 

Double Dipping Process
Double dipping is a term used to describe the process of galvanizing an item which is longer, wider or deeper than the relevant available bath dimensions. In this procedure, the item is lowered into the bath so that half or more of its 'over dimension' is immersed in the molten zinc. When the galvanized coating has been achieved on the immersed section, the item is withdrawn from the bath and adjusted in handling so that the ungalvanized portion can be immersed in the molten zinc. The coating thickness is the same as the normal galvanizing process – it is not 'double'.

 

Metallurgy of Galvanizing
When the cleaned and fluxed steel surface contacts the molten zinc of the galvanizing bath the protective flux layer is removed leaving a clean steel surface which is immediately wetted by the zinc. This results in a reaction between the zinc and steel and the formation of zinc-iron alloy layers.

 

Coating Formation
Abrasive or heavy loading conditions in service may remove the relatively soft eta layer of zinc from a galvanized surface, but the very hard alloy layer is then exposed to resist further abrasion and heavy loading.

A: Galvanized barn lights, also called gooseneck or farmhouse lights, are outdoor lighting fixtures commonly used to illuminate the exteriors of barns, farmhouses, and other rural structures. They have a distinct design with a long, curved neck extending from the wall or ceiling and ending in a wide shade.

Q: Can you put LED lights in barn?

A: Need to add more light to your barn or farm? Our LED farm lights and LED barn lights are bright, energy-efficient, and far-reaching, making them the perfect solution for all your outdoor and indoor farm lighting needs.

Q: How many lumens does my barn need?

A: The number of lumens needed for barn lights depends on the specific area and purpose of the lighting. Generally, anywhere from 2000 to 10,000 lumens may be required, with higher lumens providing brighter illumination for larger or more demanding tasks.

Q: How big should barn light be over garage?

A: The minimum size we would recommend for a barn light over a garage door is 12”, with this 14” beauty at just the perfect size for these oversized garage doors.

Q: How big should outdoor lights be?

A: Divide the height of your front door by 1/3 and 1/4. Look for a light fixture that measures 1/3 to 1/4 the height of your front door. This will give you ample size so the light fixture won't look diminutive or too big for your house.

Q: How do I choose a light size?

A: Add the dimensions of your room in feet and then convert that to inches, then add or subtract 10% for personal taste. So if your room measures 14 feet by 12 feet, the total of the two sides is 26 feet., meaning an ideal size for your light is 26 inches.

Q: How do you light a pole barn?

A: For example, if you need highly focused lighting in a pole barn workshop, consider using UFO style lights to ensure proper safety and visibility. On the other hand, if you have a larger pole barn used for storage, consider using linear style lights which produce a larger rectangular floor pattern of lighting.

Q: What is a galvanized wall sconce light?

A: A sconce or wall light is a decorative light fixture that is mounted to a wall. The sconce is a very old form of fixture, historically used with candles and oil lamps.

Q: What is an outdoor wall light?

A: Any light designed for you to mount it on an exterior wall is an outdoor wall light. Outdoor wall light fixtures come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They are perfect for providing visibility to pathways and outdoor areas after the sun goes down.

Q: What is the difference between a sconce and a wall light?

A: Essentially, they are a type of light fixture that is affixed to a wall and then wired up to provide light. Unlike traditional lamps or ceiling lights, wall sconces don't take up any floor space or hanging space, and they can be used to create a whole range of lighting effects depending on your needs.

Q: What type of lighting are galvanized wall lights?

A: Galvanized wall lighting is light that's installed on the wall for illumination. There are many types of wall lights to choose from, the most common being recessed lighting, track lighting, uplight fixtures, and sconce lighting.

Q: What is the best material for outdoor wall lights?

A: As you may now have realized, some materials like plastic and aluminum are more affordable than others. However, cheaper materials tend to damage more easily and don't last as long. If you want something that lasts, the best material for lighting fixtures is bronze or brass.

Q: How many lumens do I need for a wall light?

A: Anywhere between 300 to 600 lumens is perfect. Our IP44-rated Oblo Tala Bathroom Wall Light comes in at 520 lumens. What's more, it's protected against splashes and objects greater than one millimetre in size, making it the perfect fixture for your bathroom wall.

Q: What is the best wattage for outdoor sconces?

A: 40 watts is the ideal amount of brightness for outdoor areas at home. 80 watts and lower are dark sky lighting approved.

Q: What are wall lights made of?

A: Wall lights are typically designed to be mounted flush against the wall, with the light source pointing outward. They can be either round or square, and they come in a variety of materials, such as metal, glass, and plastic.

Q: What are the different types of wall lights?

A: There are three types of wall lampsupward, downward, and two-way. Based on the need, you can pick the right one. If you want a light for reading purposes, then you must go for a downward or two-way light. If you want to light up the corridor pathway, then an upward or two-way light is suitable.

Q: What are goose lights?

A: This type of outdoor light fixture displays a particular style arm that is shaped similarly to the neck of a goose, hence the term “Gooseneck.”

Q: What are gooseneck lamps made of?

A: The Gooseneck Tubes are made with a combination of round spring steel and triangle rods in brass, aluminum, or steel materials. When bent to a desired position the Gooseneck tube will hold the bending condition.

Q: How is a gooseneck lamp made?

A: A gooseneck contains a wire with a round cross-section inside, which is shaped like a spring in the shape of a helix. A wire with a triangular cross-section is wound around this, so that the tips of the triangle protrude between the round wires into the inner spiral.

Q: Why is gooseneck better?

A: Gooseneck trailers are more stable due to how they hitch to your vehicle. Rather than straining your bumper, gooseneck trailers attach to the rear axle. A bumper hitch trailer can exert tremendous leverage on the tow vehicle making it harder to recover from a 'swerving' situation.
