Pull the fixture schedule on almost any garden-style apartment complex, medical office building, or light industrial shell, and you will find the same problem near the bottom of the page. Exterior doors, stairs, breezeways, and service entrances get split across three or four bulkhead types. One is 3000K for the residential entries. One is 4000K for the back-of-house doors. A higher-output version goes on the dock wall. Each one is its own line on the submittal, its own carton count, and its own …

Most vapor tight jobs don't get much attention on the drawings, and they still end up causing problems. A food plant scope calls for sealed 4ft linears in the processing room, the dock, and the walk-in. A garage retrofit needs fixtures that survive salt, water, and the occasional bumper. A facility manager wants one fixture on the maintenance shelf instead of four. On most of these jobs, the problem isn't the light output. It's the number of part numbers, the submittal, and getting material on s …

The LRS-O Series is Westgate's field-selectable up-and-down wall sconce platform, built for multifamily and commercial exteriors that need one architectural fixture to cover multiple output levels and CCT calls without a separate submittal for each wattage. Unlike single-wattage decorative sconces that need a distinct SKU for every output level and a separate part number for each color temperature, the LRS-O is built on one platform across all three tiers. One bronze die-cast body, one field-sel …

A two-tone ceiling cylinder shows up on a bid set for a reason. The designer wanted a decorative downlight detail instead of a plain black baffle, usually in a lobby, corridor, hospitality dining room, or a multifamily amenity space where the ceiling itself is part of the design story. Westgate's new CMC-2Tone Series gives an electrical contractor one platform to bid across that whole scope instead of three or four disconnected part numbers, and it is worth knowing the range before it shows up a …

Pickleball and padel courts are going in fast right now, on park district budgets, HOA amenity upgrades, and multi-sport rec facility retrofits, and a lot of that work lands on contractors who have never bid a dedicated court lighting package before. The fixture that shows up on the plans is often a generic area light or flood light spec'd because it was available, not because it fits the court. Westgate's new SFP Series is built specifically for that gap: a two-wattage LED platform engineered a …

Bulkhead fixtures show up on more job types than most contractors give them credit for: apartment breezeways, hotel corridor exits, courtyard perimeter walls, back-of-house doors at retail and restaurant sites. The spec is usually simple, wall-mount, wet-location rated, dusk-to-dawn, but the SKU count behind that simple spec adds up fast once you factor in wattage, CCT, and finish. The Westgate BKH Traditional Bulkhead collapses most of that variation into two base models: a 6/8/10W unit at 850 …

Undercabinet lighting on a commercial job usually comes down to one call made early in the rough-in: run low-voltage tape or pucks that need a remote driver location and a home run back to it, or specify a line-voltage fixture that carries its own driver and lands on a standard branch circuit. The new Westgate's UCLB series is built for the second path. It's a 120V direct-wire linear light bar with the driver built into the fixture body, CRI90 optics, and CCT that gets set at the fixture instead …

One switch on top sets wattage and CCT on the RLB Series, Westgate's new selectable low bay. Pick 80W, 100W, or 120W, all at 140 LM/W, and 3000K, 4000K, or 5000K, on the same platform in black or white. Miss the call before the lift leaves the site, and the fix is a flip of that switch, not a return authorization. Two SKUs, RLB-80-120W-MCTP-BK and RLB-80-120W-MCTP-WH, replace what used to be eighteen part numbers to stock, on a housing that ships IP65, UL listed, on a 1/2 inch hook mount with a …

The FDLO Series ships as a 32.5-inch oval double-ring flush mount with a field-select switch that sets 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, or 5000K on install day. Every finish shares the same 48W DOB driver, IP44 damp-location housing, and 120-degree beam. Miss the CCT call before the corridor ceiling closes up, and the fix is a flip of a switch on install day, not a return authorization. Two kinds of orders keep this series moving: a property management team standardizing corridor lighting across a mu …

A 40W or 60W wall pack over a service door does more than light the door. It casts a glare across the lot and emits more light than a small entry needs. The LMW mini cutoff wall pack line exists for the jobs where a full-size wall pack is the wrong fixture: entryways, alleys, loading docks, pathways, balconies, and small retail bays. It delivers 1300 lumens at 12W in a die-cast housing about the footprint of a large deadbolt plate. Season 2 pricing on the line is now live in the RelightDepot tra …
