    About Brightness and Light Appearance
    industrial info icon

    Find the right lumen level to brighten your space. Then, compare the way warm, neutral, and cool lighting affect the appearance of everyday objects.

    Gooseneck-Arm Dock Lights

    Image of Product. Side1 orientation. Dock Lights. Gooseneck-Arm Dock Lights, Style B.

    Style B

    Compared to other dock lights that can only adjust vertically and horizontally, these lights bend at any angle to direct light exactly where it's needed. A polycarbonate lens protects the built-in LEDs, so they’ll withstand bumps and knocks during trailer unloading. Thanks to efficient LEDs and a plastic head, these lights stay cool to the touch. A hinge near the mount allows you to swing them out of the way when not in use. Rated for use in wet locations, these lights can handle humidity and moisture. They also meet rigorous safety standards.
    No need for hardwiring—these lights have a standard three-prong plug. A switch on the arm makes turning them on and off a cinch.

    Style B have a full gooseneck arm for precise positioning. Their switch gives you three options: high, low, and off. They cast a neutral white light often found in workspaces.

    Style C

    No hardwiring required—these backup lights plug into a standard outlet. They kick on when the power goes out to light the path toward exits. Their battery generates at least 90 minutes of power in compliance with UL 924 standards for backup lights. A low-voltage disconnect extends the life of the battery by switching it off before it’s fully drained. Direct light where it’s needed by angling the adjustable heads. All have a manual-test switch that lets you verify the battery and heads are working.

    Lights

    Install these lights flush with your ceiling for a smooth look and even lighting. They offer the appearance of can lights without the bulky housing. Held in place by springs, they mount directly into ceiling cutouts in hallways, bathrooms, and rooms with low ceilings. These lights are IC rated to safely dissipate heat, so you can mount them directly against insulation. They’re also ETL listed for wet locations. Use the switch to match the light appearance that matches the other lights in your room.

    Retrofit Kits for Ceiling and Wall Lights

    Upgrade your old fixtures to energy-efficient LED lights. These kits replace the need to maintain hard-to-find-bulbs and ballasts, or replace the entire fixture. They fit inside fluorescent or incandescent fixtures and wire directly to power, so they’re quick to install. Choose a kit that matches your fixture’s shape and size. They come with everything you need to plug in and go. They either include driver circuitry on the circuit board or come with a driver. To install, remove all the old bulbs and the fixture’s wiring.
    Select a light appearance to match your existing lighting. If you’re not sure what light appearance your existing fixtures have, choose a light with a selectable light appearance. Use the switch to adjust its appearance and brightness.

    Replace your fluorescent bulbs or upgrade to LED. These light bulbs are the most common tubular bulbs for fixtures inside plants, warehouses, and offices. Select a light appearance to match your existing lighting. If you’re not sure what temperature you need, choose a bulb with more than one light appearance. You can adjust the temperature with a switch.
    LED—LED bulbs last longer and are more efficient than fluorescent bulbs. You can choose bulbs that work with or without a ballast—some bulbs can do both.
    Ballast Compatible LED— Ballast-compatible bulbs are a quick replacement for fluorescent bulbs, since they work with most instant-start electronic ballasts. Check if your ballast is compatible by selecting a part number and clicking product detail.
    Ballast-Bypass LED—Ballast-bypass bulbs work with sockets that are wired directly to the power source, which cuts down on maintenance. If your fixture has a ballast, you’ll need to remove it.
    Plastic Bulb—Plastic bulbs are shatterproof.
