Construction Tips: Lighting Options

There are two main options for providing light to your steel building.  Whether or not you will be running electricity to your building can be a determining factor for what kind of lighting you end up using.  For those who are not using electricity or those who are looking to supplement with natural lighting, skylights are the best option. Skylights provide the opportunity to take advantage of nature’s resources while giving you the ability to walk into your steel building and not have to turn on the lights. This environmentally friendly option can be placed in the roof panels, end wall panels, or sliding doors. While there are several color options, the most common are clear and off-white. Clear skylights allow the most light through while providing the highest level of UV protection.

Electrical lighting options can also be installed in metal buildings. Fluorescent bulbs are commonly used when a large area needs to illuminated or to provide focused light for a workspace. If electrical lighting is used, it is commonly used in conjuction with skylights to reduce energy use.
