Lighting by Category and Project Type
163 SESCO lines, organized by what you are hanging and where it is going.
These pages are how I organise 163 SESCO manufacturer lines: by fixture type if you already know you need a downlight or a linear run, and by project type if you are lighting a restaurant or a condo tower and want to see which lines belong in that conversation.
Each page explains how to size and specify that kind of fixture, flags the code and rating issues that catch people out in this market, and lists the lines I represent. None of it is a price list. When you know what you want — or when you want a second opinion on something already drawn — send me the schedule.
Specification and architectural
The core of the line card. These are the categories where the fixture is decided by a code, a photometric target or a ceiling condition rather than by how it looks.
Aperture, plenum, glareRecessed Lighting & DownlightsTrimmed, trimless and plaster-in downlights. The fight is usually aperture size, regress depth, plenum clearance and whether the ceiling can take the housing you drew.
Continuous runLinear & Architectural LightingRecessed, surface and suspended linear built to a dimension rather than assembled from standard sticks. Joint conditions, run lengths and lumens per foot.
Built to orderCustom Architectural LightingGeometry drawn from your ceiling plan, custom finishes and materials, modified apertures, made-to-order optics and ground-up fixtures. Which factories actually do it, and what it costs you in weeks.0-10V, DALI, ELVDimmers & Lighting ControlsDrivers, protocols, keypads and sensors specified alongside the fixture, because the flicker call always comes after the fixtures are already in the ceiling.Channel and driverLED Tape & Cove LightingTape, extrusion, drivers and the cove detail itself. Binning across a long run, and the voltage drop that ruins it.H, J and L standardsTrack LightingHeads, rails and monorail. Standard compatibility, circuit load, and where an accent head earns its place over another downlight.
Wet, coastal, corrosionOutdoor & Landscape LightingBollards, step lights, cylinders, in-grades and low-voltage landscape gear specified for salt air, wind load and hurricane counties.
FWC certifiedWildlife Friendly LightingAmber 590-600nm bollards, step lights, cylinders and wall fixtures for Florida coastal property, with full specification and IES photometry.
BeachfrontTurtle Friendly LightingLong wavelength exterior fixtures for beachfront property, and the difference between a fixture that meets FWC guidelines and one that is actually FWC certified.Wind load and EPALight Poles & StructuresWind load, EPA and the ASCE edition mismatch that fails submittals in hurricane counties.RP-8 and BUGRoadway & Street LightingRP-8 criteria, BUG limits, and the 560 nanometre coastal rule that catches out-of-state specifiers.Class of playSports & Area LightingClass of play, spill light at the property line, and why aiming beats badge.OSHA minimumHigh Bay & IndustrialWarehouse, plant and distribution lighting, and the gap between the OSHA minimum and a level people can actually work at.NFPA 101Emergency & ExitEgress illumination and exit signs to NFPA 101, the code Florida enforces through the fire marshal.Class and divisionHazardous LocationClass, division, zone, group and temperature code. Marinas, fuel dispensing and wastewater.FGI and RP-29HealthcarePatient rooms, procedure areas and behavioural health, against FGI and RP-29.By project type
The same lines, grouped by the kind of building. Useful when you are working a whole job rather than one fixture.
Guestroom to lobbyHotel & HospitalityGuestrooms, corridors, lobbies and amenity decks, where the decorative package and the architectural package have to agree with each other.
Low level, high qualityRestaurant & BarDining rooms, bars and back-of-house. Getting a low overall level that still renders food and faces properly, and dims without flicker.
Power allowanceOffice & CommercialOpen plan, private office, conference and circulation, against the energy code power allowance and the glare criteria people actually notice.
Unit type and common areaMultifamily & CondoUnit packages priced by type, plus corridor, lobby and amenity lighting. Rough-in and trim separated so the schedule survives a phased release.Accent ratioRetail StoreTrack, accent, display and case lighting, and the accent-to-ambient ratio that makes merchandise read.Show controlTheatrical & EntertainmentVenues, worship spaces and ballrooms, where show control and building code have to agree.PPF and PPFDHorticultural & GrowPPF, PPFD and photon efficacy, and why lumens are the wrong unit for a grow light.Decorative and residential
The decorative side of the line card, and the rooms it gets specified into.
Scale and stemChandeliersSizing a fixture to a room and a ceiling height, stem and canopy availability, and what a long lead time on glass really means.Island, dining, foyerPendant LightingIsland, dining and foyer pendants. Spacing, mounting height, and confirming finish and stem availability before the schedule is issued.Indoor, bath, outdoorWall SconcesInterior, bath-rated and exterior sconces, and the mounting height and junction box coordination that decides whether they land where they were drawn.Low ceilingsFlush & Semi-Flush CeilingFlush and semi-flush ceiling fixtures for corridors, closets and rooms without the height for a pendant.PortableTable & Floor LampsTable and floor lamps, and how they carry a room the overhead layer cannot.Damp rated, front-litBathroom & VanityDamp-rated vanity lighting, and why lighting a face from the front beats lighting it from above.Wet rated outdoorCeiling FansFans quoted alongside the lighting package, including wet-rated models for exterior use in this climate.Base, shape, CCTLight Bulbs & LampsReplacement lamps in the common bases, shapes and colour temperatures, including matching an existing installation.LayeredKitchen LightingIsland pendants, recessed, undercabinet and the dimmers to run them, planned as one layered scheme rather than four separate purchases.Table proportionDining RoomChandeliers, linear suspensions and sconces sized to real dining rooms and standard ceiling heights.Ambient and accentLiving RoomCeiling fixtures, sconces, lamps and fans for living and great rooms, layered so the room works at more than one time of day.Bedside and ambientBedroomCeiling fixtures, sconces, fans and lamps, and getting a switching plan that works from the door and from the bed.Height and accessFoyer & StaircaseFoyer and stairwell fixtures, and the maintenance access question that should be settled before anything is hung.
