Product Specifications
Spec Sheet PDF Form
What materials do you use to manufacture your address
lights?
Housings
have a front piece and back plate. Housing fronts are powder-coated paint-loc
steel. Back plates are aluminum powder-coated gloss white to act as a light
reflector. Number panels are made from non-yellowing white translucent acrylic
laminated with commercial grade exterior signage vinyl.
What are your numbers made of?
Number panels
are made from non-yellowing white translucent acrylic laminated with
computer cut commercial grade exterior signage vinyl characters applied
by us.
What kind of bulbs do your address lights use? Do
you include them?
Yes bulbs
are pre-installed for you in each address light. Large units including
6 inch character units come with (4) 193 wedge-based incandescent bulbs. The
small units come with (2) 655 wedge-based incandescent bulbs.
Do you include a transformer with your address lights?
No. Have
your electrical contractor provide a doorbell transformer of 12, 14 or 16
vac, 8 watt minimum capacity.
What kind of transformer do I need to power your address
lights?
A standard
12, 14 or 16 vac doorbell transformer, rated for an 8 watt minimum capacity
should be used.
Do I have to apply the address numbers?
No. Unless
you order your lights without numbers we always custom apply them for
you. We just need a sequence sheet listing the addresses you need.
Why don’t you use a photo-eye (photoelectric sensor)
to switch the address light on at night and off during the day?
Adding a
photo-eye would raise the cost of the product and adds another piece of circuitry
that could fail. Also, annual electrical cost differences are minimal.
What if we are required to have all exterior lighting
automatically turned off during daylight hours?
You can
hook the address light’s transformer wiring into the same photo-eye controlled
circuit as other exterior fixtures. Or if you have a 12 volt
landscape lighting
system and there are at least 8 watts of capacity still available you can hook
the address light into it.
What if the addresses we need have letters or dashes in them?
No problem. As
long as the total number of characters needed, including spaces,
does not exceed (7) in the 4 inch numbered units or (6) in the 6 inch numbered
units we can make them.
What if my space is limited? Can you make vertical
numbers?
Yes, but
the more characters needed the smaller in height they get. Each character
in a 3 digit address will be 4 inches tall, but a 4 digit address will have
characters under 3 inches in height. This may not meet your local ordinances.
We also charge a $3.00 surcharge per vertical unit.
Installation
Builder Installation Instructions PDF
Do you provide installation services?
No. We
are a manufacturer only.
What kind of transformer do I need to power your address
lights?
A standard
12, 14 or 16 vac doorbell transformer, 8 watt minimum draw is needed. Do
not exceed the maximum voltage of 16 vac.
Do your address lights come with bulbs?
Yes. They
are pre-installed by us.
Do your address lights come with a transformer?
No. For
new construction you will need to have your electrician provide doorbell type
transformers. This
will cost you less than if we supply them. We
do carry a 14 vac plug-in type transformer for retrofitting
existing construction. We can provide
these at an additional cost.
Do your address lights come with mounting hardware?
No. Because
the surface where our lights will be mounted varies we leave the mounting
hardware up to you. Whatever type of hardware you choose make the screws
a ½ inch longer than normal to span the hollow space between the back
plate and the wall.
Can I recess your address lights into a wall?
You can
if they are just sitting in the opening. They are made for surface mounting.
The screws that join the housing front and back plates are on the ends and
must be accessible for maintenance and proper installation.
Can we modify your address lights so they can handle higher
voltages?
No. Our
lights can use a maximum of 16 vac ONLY!

We are developing a large master planned community with

you provide address lights for our project?
Yes. We
routinely fill orders of 100 units or more. We also handle orders, as
needed, for models and phases.

We request
you give us a 4 week lead time. We try to keep our most popular housing
finishes in stock. If you order one of these finishes we can usually
ship the order in 7 to 10 business days.
What product options do you have?
We have
many options including different housing styles, sizes and finishes. We
also have options for the number panels including two fonts and two lighting
choices. Most
of our units hold 4 inch characters, but we have a special address light
that holds 6 inch characters. Our printable form How

option listed.

The housings
come in Hammered Brass, Pewter, Old Bronze, White, Brown and Black. The signage
vinyl used to create the number panels comes in Black and Brown.
Shipping
How will we get our address lights?
We use UPS
Ground to ship your order unless you need something faster. Shipping
charges are added to your invoice.
Can we have the address lights delivered to a construction
trailer?
We discourage
this because of the frequency of getting the shipment back as undeliverable.
We suggest using an established address such as your business office,
model sales office or your superintendent’s home address.
Paying
Do you take credit cards?
Yes, Visa,
MasterCard, Discover and American Express.
Can we pay COD or prepay?
Yes. We
do charge you a fee for COD orders because UPS charges us. At this time
COD charges are $9.00. You must have a check made out to Tollmark Address
Lights for the exact amount and someone must receive the shipment and hand
over the check. UPS will not take cash. We gladly accept prepayments.
What do I need to do to open an account?

and we will fax or email you a credit application. Contact
