The right fixture in the right location. Properly wired and maintained.
Lighting in an industrial or commercial environment isn’t just about brightness. It affects worker safety, productivity, maintenance costs, and energy consumption.
Under-lit areas create safety hazards.
Overlit areas waste energy.
Wrong fixture selection in a classified environment creates explosion risk.
Pro Call Electric approaches every lighting project with the same discipline applied to power systems: design it right, install it right, document it.
From new installation to LED retrofit.
- New area lighting installation: high bay, low bay, canopy, and perimeter area lighting for industrial and commercial facilities.
- LED retrofit and energy upgrade: replacing fluorescent, HID (high-pressure sodium, metal halide, mercury vapour), and incandescent fixtures with LED equivalents.
- Classified area lighting: explosion-proof and flameproof (XP/FLP) luminaires for Class I Division 1/2 and Zone 1/2 hazardous locations — CEC Section 18 compliant.
- Emergency and exit lighting: emergency lighting unit (ELU) and exit sign installation, testing, and maintenance to the Alberta Fire Code.
- Outdoor and parking lot lighting: LED pole-mounted area lighting, controls, and photocell/timer integration.
- Sports and recreational lighting: LED sports lighting for arenas, courts, and outdoor facilities.
- Lighting controls: occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting controls, dimming systems, and building automation integration.
- Photometric studies: light level calculations to verify footcandles meet OSHA/CSA standards prior to fixture selection and layout.
LED upgrades in Alberta industrial facilities typically pay back in 2-4 years.
Converting from HID or fluorescent to LED delivers: Pro Call Electric handles rebate documentation where applicable.
- 40-70% reduction in energy consumption for equivalent light output.
- Significant reduction in maintenance costs — LED fixtures last 50,000-100,000 hours vs. 10,000-20,000 hours for HID.
- Improved light quality — better CRI (colour rendering index), more uniform distribution, and instant start with no warm-up delay.
- Eligibility for Utilities rebates from EPCOR, ATCO, or FortisAlberta (varies by programme).
Explosion-proof lighting where the code requires it.
In areas classified as hazardous (Zone 1/2 or Division 1/2) under CEC Section 18 — including O&G processing facilities, chemical plants, and spray paint booths — only certified explosion-proof or intrinsically safe luminaires may be used.
Pro Call Electric’s team is experienced in classified area lighting selection, installation, and documentation.
We know the difference between a Zone 1 and Zone 2 requirement, and we install fixtures with appropriate certifications (cETLus, cCSAus).
Correct selection, compliant installation, documented delivery.
- In-house electrical design: we calculate photometric requirements and specify the right fixture, not just the cheapest one.
- Classified area expertise: Zone 1/2 and Division 1/2 lighting installed to CEC Section 18.
- CEC-compliant installation: all wiring, branch circuits, and fixture mounting to Canadian Electrical Code standards with permit.
- ISNET and SECOR: approved for industrial and O&G sites.
- LED upgrade experience: dozens of industrial and commercial LED retrofit projects completed in Alberta.
