General Product Information

Basic Information

All of our light fixtures are rated as 120-volt, AC. Each fixture comes complete with all hardware required for installation. In order to keep our prices and shipping costs as low as possible, some lights require minor assembly, usually not requiring more than 30 minutes to an hour to complete. Avalanche Ranch Light Company reserves the right to make minor improvements to the products presented on this website in order to better serve the needs of our users. Accordingly, some products, along with their respective specifications, may change over time.

UL Approval

All of our lights are UL Listed for US and Canadian markets, which means that we follow rigid standards developed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL). These standards include: using UL approved parts and components, following prescribed construction and wiring guidelines and having monthly UL tests and inspections. Using UL approved lights is important not only for safety reasons, but also to meet local building codes. Only those fixtures indicated as exterior lights are UL approved for wet locations, which means they can be used either outdoors or indoors. All other fixtures are approved for indoor locations or an outdoor location protected from direct rain (i.e. "a damp" location.) All our fixtures come with a "C-UL Listed" label.

Item Numbers

An item number consists of a product number, diffuser material choice (if applicable), hanging choice (if applicable), and a finish choice. This information must be provided when ordering. Some items have been discontinued, so if you are having trouble finding a light, it most likely was discontinued.

Dimensions

We round dimensions off to the nearest inch. Thus, measurements will vary slightly from what is presented within each product description. We also reserve the right to make minor alterations to a design to improve the light.

  • H - Fixture body height (excluding chain that runs from the fixture to the ceiling, where applicable)
  • W - Fixture body width (excluding shade)
  • D - Diameter of fixture body
  • TM - Top of fixture to center of mounting point for wall fixtures
  • L - Length of fixture for island lights.

Compact Fluorescent (CF) Bulbs

For meeting the latest building code requirements in commercial applications, we can build many of our fixtures to include permanent, hard-wired electronic compact fluorescent ballasts and photometric cells. For the standard compact fluorescent option, we charge an additional $8 per socket, for which we will wire the fixture to use GU24 base compact fluorescent bulbs in 13W, 18W and 26W depending on the fixture. For applications requiring 120V four pin compact fluorescent socket or high power factor 277V ballast, please contact us for a custom quote. For residential applications without special building code restrictions, we recommend using the screw-in compact fluorescent bulbs or the new LED style bulbs, which are now made to replace an A19, B11, C-type or even reflector bulbs without difficulty.
