What do I look out for when buying wall pack light ?

  1. Damp/Wet Location Rated

This is arguably the most important aspect when shopping for wall pack lights. Since these lights are meant for outdoor use, you need to make sure it can keep water and dust out. Does it have an IP rating? Is it UL/cUL/ETL listed for wet locations? Look for these distinctions when finding the right LED wall pack light for your building.

2. Brightness

The measure of brightness is lumen. Regardless, you’ll need to look at the lumens when shopping for brightness. The bigger the area you need to illuminate, the brighter the fixture must be.

3. Photocell

Does your LED wall pack light have a photocell? This module automates the on/off functionality; it’ll only turn on at night when it’s dark and shuts it off when light is detected. A photocell saves you money on your bill and the hassle of turning your wall pack light on and off manually.

4. Motion Sensor

Depending on how you want to use it, you might want a motion sensor built into your light. Like a photocell, it mechanizes the on/off functionality and saves you money on your power bill while preserving the LED wall pack’s longevity. It will also provide safety to your premises. The difference is it detects movement as instead of the presence of light.

How much energy am I saving?

Traditional wall pack lights use metal halide lighting and comparatively, they rank poorly against LED lighting. MH wall pack lights are highly inefficient because they lose about 30% of its lumens within the reflector. Moreover, most of their output is wasted as heat. Lastly, metal halide wall packs will flicker as they reach the end of their operating life, resulting in eye discomfort. LED wall packs bypass these issues and run at a comparatively low wattage. They have a 130 lm/W efficacy, meaning it has a high brightness to wattage ratio. In turn, you’ll enjoy long term savings like lower electricity bills and long fixture lifespan.

Plan While Choosing Fixtures
Understand the outdoor space and take measurements before choosing the fixtures for adding wall lighting.

  • Size

Don’t go for something that is too large or too small, as it won’t fit the lights properly.

  • Quality

Good fixtures are made of high-quality and weather-resistant materials, and you should count on them always. Don’t cut corners here, they are not easy to replace and the loss of light will be a proble.

  • Colors of fixtures- keep it consistent. 

All black or all white, go with one. Dark Bronze is beautiful . . . until its mixed with white.

  • Color of light

Choose a kelvin that makes sense for your space. Bright white 5000K has a different feel than 3000K warm white light.

How high do I mount my LED wall pack light?

Your mounting height should be based on how bright your LED wall pack light is. You don’t want a fixture that’s meant to light up a loading dock right above your door! The brighter the wall pack, the higher you mount it. The 40W wall pack has a 5000 lm output, which is enough to light up doorways. At 60W/80W, you’ll get an output of 7500 and 10000 lumens respectively, capable of lighting up garage door ports. A 120W unit yields 15600 lumens, which can light up loading docks.
