Custom-Painted Commercial LED Luminaires
Custom-painted commercial LED lighting luminaires, such as bollard lights or wall packs, are an Access Fixtures specialty. Most of our commercial lighting fixtures and poles can be finished in your choice of RAL color. These custom-painted luminaires complement the architectural features of a property, adding a unique design element. Property managers and architects can easily match luminaires with existing features using an RAL color chart.
Specific RAL colors can be selected using the chart on our website or even on websites like Wikipedia. Though colors are as accurate as possible, actual colors will vary due to screen resolution, type of device, etc. Access Fixtures is not responsible for incongruity in color due to monitor variation or color display. The safest option is to purchase a sample chart to see what color best suits what you need to match.
When placing an order for a custom-colored fixture on the Access Fixtures site, simply select the “Custom RAL Color” option and then enter the appropriate RAL color code in the box provided. Always double-check RAL colors to ensure you have selected the correct one.
Please note that the lead time for custom-finished lighting fixtures may vary.
RAL Color Charts
The RAL color chart was designed as a universal color-matching system to define standard colors for paint and coatings in architecture, construction, industry, and road safety. RAL colors allow architects to match colors throughout a project without worrying that the colors will be slightly off. Different companies making different products with the same RAL color code will produce similar results, ensuring compatibility across various materials and products.
Custom Painting Luminaires: Powder Coating
While frequently referred to as custom painting, powder coating is quite different, as it uses no liquids or solvents. The powder coat is applied dry and then heated to convert the powder to a film. Powder coating materials are plastics formulated with plastic resins, pigments, flow agents, and other special ingredients ground into a fine powder. By changing the colors and other elements, the coating creates the desired finish characteristics, including color.
Conclusion
Custom-painted commercial LED luminaires offer a unique and effective way to enhance the aesthetics of any property. With the use of RAL colors, architects and property managers can achieve precise and consistent color matching, ensuring a harmonious design. The durable finish provided by powder coating ensures that these custom-painted luminaires will maintain their appearance for years to come.
