LED Wall Pack Lights
LED wall packs are the primary solution for securing commercial perimeters and illuminating building envelopes. Specifically engineered to replace energy-draining Metal Halide (MH) and High-Pressure Sodium (HPS) fixtures, these commercial-grade LED wall packs provide high-lumen, forward-throw illumination that eliminates dark spots in loading docks, alleyways, and parking areas.
Our collection features rugged, die-cast aluminum housings and shatter-resistant lenses, all IP65 rated to withstand rain, wind, and extreme temperature swings. With Field-Selectable CCT and Wattage, you can standardize your facility’s exterior lighting with a single fixture while adjusting the brightness and color temperature to meet specific safety or municipal "Dark Sky" requirements.
Answer summary: LED wall packs are specified by cutoff classification, mounting height, forward throw distance, glare control, and surrounding site conditions—not lumen output alone.
Wall Pack Lighting Specification Guidance
Proper wall pack performance depends on mounting height, beam cutoff classification, forward throw distance, glare control, and surrounding site conditions. Incorrect fixture selection can result in light trespass, uneven coverage, or non-compliance with local dark-sky ordinances. For a complete breakdown of exterior photometric planning, cutoff types, BUG ratings, and code considerations across area, canopy, flood, and wall-mounted fixtures, reference our commercial site lighting buying guide.
Specification note: Common wall pack failures include excessive light trespass beyond property lines, glare at driver or pedestrian eye level, uneven coverage along building façades, and non-compliance with local Dark Sky ordinances due to improper cutoff selection.
Choosing the Right LED Wall Pack: Cutoff Classifications
The primary difference between wall pack models is how they distribute light. Selecting the right "cutoff" is essential for balancing security needs with local light pollution ordinances.
Selection rule: Specify traditional wall packs where maximum forward throw is required for perimeter security, and full-cutoff wall packs where glare control, light trespass prevention, or Dark Sky compliance is mandated.
Traditional (Non-Cutoff) Wall Packs
These fixtures feature a "borosilicate glass" lens that allows light to throw forward and upward. They are the best choice for high-security areas where you need maximum light coverage across a large parking area or loading dock.
Full-Cutoff (Dark Sky Compliant)
Full-cutoff fixtures are designed with a shielded top, directing 100% of the light downward. These are often required by law in residential areas to prevent light trespass and protect the night sky.
Advanced Features for Commercial Security
Integrated Emergency Battery Backups (EM)
For paths of egress and building exits, we offer LED Wall Packs with Integrated Emergency Drivers. In the event of a power failure, these fixtures switch to battery power to provide 90 minutes of illumination, ensuring your facility remains compliant with Life Safety Codes (NFPA 101).
Adjustable Tilt Wall Packs
When a standard wall pack doesn't offer the right angle, our Adjustable (Rotatable) Wall Packs allow you to pivot the light head. This is ideal for illuminating specific signage, walkways, or architectural features without needing to move the mounting box.
Standardizing with Field-Selectable Tech
To simplify maintenance, many of our fixtures are Wattage and CCT Selectable. This allows a facility manager to keep one SKU in stock that can be adjusted to 3000K, 4000K, or 5000K depending on the specific lighting needs of different building zones.
