Factors to consider when selecting LED wall packs

IP ratings: LED wall packs are always meant for the outdoors, so higher IP ratings save the light fixture from dust and moisture ingress. Most of the fixtures come with IP 64 ratings.


Lumens: They provide the exact amount of brightness for the given area, making it visible to our eyes.


Wattage: The operational power use of the fixture is known as wattage. LED wall packs require less amount of power than traditional ones. 


Low maintenance: Compared with traditional light fixtures like HID and HPS, LED wall packs require less maintenance and can operate for more than 50,000 hours. 


Standard certifications: Wall pack lights are UL and DLC listed, making them rebate eligible in many parts of the United States. 


Warranty: Most brand names come with a standard warranty period if the lights go haywire. 


Photocells: Wall packs with an integrated photocell to automatically turn the light on at night and off during the day can be purchased. The feature reduces wasted energy costs while streamlining operation for your lighting needs, all in one simple device.


Motion sensors: Sensors come equipped with light fixtures to detect unwanted intrusions at night hours and keep the premises safe. 

Types of LED wall packs

Forward throw wall packs: These light fixtures throw illumination in any direction and are an excellent choice for general and path lighting.

Semi cut-off: The light fixture comes with a hood that cuts off the uplight and reduces it. For environments with a wide distribution of illumination, this solution will provide just enough light without overly bright or overpowering your surroundings.

Full cut-off: A design directs light downward and eliminates all uplight brightness. Find larger, more traditional designs covering existing footprints or modern slimming options to update your space with adequate illumination.

Lumens (or luminous efficacy) measure a device’s ability to emit visible light, typically measured in lumens per watt (lpw). When shopping around at different retailers, consider both lp ratings alongside watts if they differ from each other by more than 10%. It is vital to make the right choice for the outdoors.
