Choosing the Best LED Lighting Supply Wall Pack for Your Application

LED wall packs are wall-mounted outdoor lighting fixtures that provide high-quality energy-efficient lighting for commercial and industrial applications. These outdoor lights are ideal to illuminate building exteriors, pathways, parking lots, and other outdoor spaces. They are commonly used for security lighting.

At LED Lighting Supply, we stock various LED wall packs in our U.S.-based warehouses. With UL or ETL certifications and many DLC-listed options for utility rebates, our products meet stringent quality and safety standards.

Here's how to choose the right wall pack for your lighting needs.

Types of LED Lighting Supply Wall Packs

Understanding the types of wall packs available is the first step in selecting the right one:

• Full Cutoff Wall Packs
  • Direct all light downward to minimize light pollution
  • Ideal for areas requiring dark sky compliance or where light spillover is a concern
• Non-Cutoff Wall Packs (Flood or Forward Throw)
  • Distribute light down and outward for maximum coverage
  • Commonly used for security lighting and wide-area illumination
• Semi-Cutoff Wall Packs
  • Blend features of full and non-cutoff designs
  • Provide some forward throw while reducing light pollution by approximately 50%
• Dusk-to-Dawn LED Wall Packs
  • Equipped with photocells for automatic operation, turning on at dusk and off at dawn
• 250W and 400W Equivalent High Output Wall Packs
  • Replace traditional 250W or 400W metal halide or high-pressure sodium fixtures while maintaining equivalent brightness

10 Tips for Selecting the Perfect LED Lighting Supply Wall Pack

1. Assess Your Existing Lighting and Needs

Determine the wattage and placement of current fixtures to gauge your ideal LED replacement wall pack.

2. Evaluate Mounting Height

Higher mounting heights require fixtures with higher lumen output.

3. Select the Appropriate Lumen Output

• 100W equivalent: 3,000–5,000 lumens
• 150W equivalent: 5,000–7,500 lumens
• 250W equivalent: 7,500–15,000 lumens
• 400W equivalent: 15,000–25,000 lumens

4. Choose the Right Beam Angle

Consider full, semi-cutoff, or non-cutoff designs based on desired light distribution and whether you need a dark sky-compliant fixture.

Full cutoff is your best choice for dark-sky compliance, and non-cutoff wall packs are best for security lighting

5. Check Voltage Compatibility

Ensure compatibility with your power supply (100–277V or higher). We offer both 100-277V and 277-480V LED lighting options

6. Motion Sensors and Photocells

Motion sensors and dusk-to-dawn photocells can enhance energy savings. Motion sensors are great for security lighting.

7. Select the Best Color Temperature

• 4000K: Warm, natural white for inviting light
• 5000K: Bright, daylight-like illumination for task areas
• We also have color-adjustable fixtures that allow you to choose the color temperature you want post-installation.

8. Energy Efficiency

Look for DLC-listed fixtures to maximize rebates and savings.

9. Need a Durable Fixture?

Choose IP-rated (for wet locations) and IK-rated fixtures for impact resistance.

10. Lighting Plans Reduce Risk

Use a lighting plan to ensure optimal placement and coverage for your application.
