Wall Packs

LED Wall Pack Lighting for Building Perimeters

Wall packs put exterior light on the building itself, making them useful around service doors, walkways and other areas alongside a structure. This collection includes different output levels and housing designs, including cutoff styles. Choose the fixture around its mounting height, the area to be lit and nearby windows or property boundaries.

Direct the light where it is useful

The shape and optics of a wall pack affect how light travels away from the wall. A cutoff design can help limit light above the fixture, while an adjustable model may allow its direction to be set for the installation. Pay attention to the model's distribution rather than assuming all wall packs light the same area. Appropriate positioning can improve visibility beside a building while avoiding unnecessary light toward neighbors.

Compare a retrofit as a complete installation

When replacing an older wall-mounted fixture, consider output and coverage as well as energy use. The new housing may not cover the same wall footprint, and electrical entry locations or mounting arrangements may differ. Check supply voltage, junction-box compatibility and weather sealing. Some models offer selectable color temperature or dimming, but those features should be confirmed for the exact item rather than assumed across the range.

Plan a consistent perimeter

Think about the path a person follows from a parking area to an entrance, not only the brightest point directly below each light. Doors, corners, loading areas and changes in ground level can need different treatment. Use spacing and mounting positions that limit abrupt bright and dark patches. Pole lighting or pathway fixtures may be more suitable for areas too far from the building for wall packs to cover effectively.

Frequently asked questions

What is a full cutoff wall pack?

It is a wall-pack design intended to limit light emitted above the horizontal. Review the model's photometric information and installation orientation. A cutoff label alone does not establish compliance with every local lighting requirement.

Can a wall pack replace a flood light?

Sometimes, but they serve different mounting and distribution needs. Wall packs typically suit building-mounted perimeter lighting; an adjustable flood light may better suit a specific aiming task. Compare actual coverage before substituting.

Do these wall packs include dusk-to-dawn operation?

Control features vary by model. Check whether the selected fixture includes a photocell, accepts an accessory or requires a separate compatible control.

How high should I mount a wall pack?

Use the manufacturer's guidance and the lighting layout. Mounting height affects coverage, brightness at ground level and glare. Avoid treating a single height as appropriate for every output and optic.

Will a higher-lumen wall pack solve a dark corner?

Not necessarily. A corner may be blocked from the fixture's light. Relocating or adding an appropriately aimed fixture can be more effective than increasing output at the existing position.

Can I reuse the old wiring and mounting holes?

Have the installation checked against the new fixture's electrical and mounting requirements. Existing holes, boxes and seals may need changes even when the new light has a similar appearance.
