RAB Lighting, a pioneer in innovative and smart LED lighting solutions, achieved remarkable recognition this year in the prestigious 2024 IES Progress Report. The Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) accepted an impressive 14 RAB products into this year’s report, doubling the number from Acuity Brands, North America’s largest lighting manufacturer, and matching Signify, another industry giant.
Flying a flag is a straightforward way to show pride, but flag lighting is what lets you leave it up after dark. Done well it keeps the flag visible and recognizable all night. Done badly it leaves half the fabric in shadow, and that reads worse than not lighting it at all.

RAB flood lights are relied upon to illuminate everything from landmarks to loading docks. Their newest line of ultra-economy flood lights, the RAB X22 series, offers an incredible five levels of selectability—providing you with the power to choose what works best for your unique requirements. We may even go so far as to call it the most versatile flood light available on the market today. The X22 series not only gives you the flexibility of controlling beam angle, wattage, CCT, and photocell—it also comes with two mounting options right out of the box. That’s a mind-blowing 144 SKUs in one single flood light! Not to mention, the quality you’ve come to expect from RAB’s outdoor LED products. The X22 series is now available to order at PROLIGHTING, starting at $59.00/each.
RAB Lighting does it again! There’s a new couple in the commercial lighting world: RAB Lighting sensors meet LED lamps to form a dynamic duo now available at PROLIGHTING. RAB has taken a few of their industry-leading motion sensors and combined them with field-adjustable LED PAR lamps to create the best security lighting bundle on the market. These new kits are available with four of RAB’s most popular STEALTH and GOTCHA sensors, with various hood designs and colors for maximized versatility.
In recent months, RAB Lighting has continued to launch a steady stream of new and updated LED products that feature field-adjustable technology. Field-adjustable or field-selectable fixtures are lighting products that use LED technology to allow users to customize color temperature and/or lumen output (wattage). Field adjustability is an emerging trend across most categories of lighting, allowing one SKU to do the work of many. Because different correlated color temperatures (CCTs) work better depending on the space, field-adjustable fixtures are an ideal choice in those situations when you’re uncertain about the color temperature or your needs might change.
Learning how to choose LED recessed lighting starts with understanding the different fixture types, installation options, and applications available. Recessed lighting, also known as downlighting or can lights, is designed to sit flush with the ceiling for a clean, low-profile look. These versatile fixtures can be used in practically any room and are one of the easiest ways to update a residential or commercial space. Today, LED recessed lighting is commonly used in both new construction and LED retrofit applications, with options available for a wide range of ceiling types, layouts, and lighting needs.
When considering an outdoor lighting overhaul, your design will likely include several different types of fixtures. This ‘layered lighting’ look is usually achieved using a combination of flood or area lights, path lights, up lights, downlights, and possibly even spotlights – all of which can enhance the curb appeal of your home or business, highlight architectural features, and increase safety and security. LED flood lights are among the most popular outdoor lighting options in residential and commercial applications; however, with so many options for light distribution, it can be a bit confusing to know the difference and determine which is best for your lighting needs. Our aim is to help you understand how beam spread works so you can be confident you’re choosing the right outdoor light for your project. Beam spread, or beam angle, measures the spread of light (the width of the beam) from a reflected light source.…
Closet lighting can make a storage space safer, easier to use, and more functional. Whether you’re lighting a small reach-in closet or a large walk-in, the right LED fixtures can improve visibility while helping you account for electrical-code clearance requirements around shelves, clothing, and other stored items. In this guide, we’ll cover the basics of LED closet lighting, including fixture safety, color temperature, motion-sensing options, and design ideas using flush mounts, recessed fixtures, puck lights, and LED tape light. Closet Lighting Safety Codes & NEC Requirements The National Electric Code (NEC), which is published every three years by the National Fire Protection Association, sets the rules and guidelines that apply to building regulations in most commercial and residential spaces, including closets and other storage areas. In the 2008 edition of the code, LED fixtures were allowed for the first time. Since then, modern homes have slowly integrated over to LED…
Lighting a warehouse or manufacturing facility is a tall order. These cavernous spaces need a layout that accounts for fixture count, light distribution, color temperature and a list of other specifications. Whether you’re working on new construction or a retrofit, the details decide whether you end up with proper lighting and a return on the investment. This guide covers how to choose LED high bay lighting and how to size it before you buy.
