What Are LED Wall Packs?
LED wall pack lights are exterior fixtures mounted directly to building walls. They provide security lighting, walkway illumination, and building perimeter lighting for commercial properties.
Common Applications
- Building entrances and exits
- Loading docks
- Parking lot perimeters
- Walkways and sidewalks
- Security lighting
- Stairwells and covered areas
Choosing the Right Wattage
| Application | Wattage | Coverage Area |
|---|---|---|
| Doorways/Entrances | 25-40W | 15-20 ft |
| Walkways | 40-70W | 20-30 ft |
| Parking Areas | 70-100W | 30-50 ft |
| Loading Docks | 100-150W | 50-80 ft |
| Large Perimeter | 150W+ | 80+ ft |
Full Cutoff vs Semi-Cutoff
- Full cutoff — Directs all light downward. Required by many dark sky ordinances. Best for most applications.
- Semi-cutoff — Allows some light above the horizontal plane. Good for accent lighting on building facades.
Installation Tips
1. Mount at 12-15 feet for best coverage
2. Space fixtures at 2-3x the mounting height apart
3. Use photocells for automatic dusk-to-dawn operation
4. Consider motion sensors for energy savings in low-traffic areas
5. Ensure proper IP rating (IP65+ for exposed locations)
