LED Wall Packs

Choosing the Best LED 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 Listed or ETL Listed certifications and many DLC Premium options for utility rebates, our products meet stringent quality and safety standards. Many of our fixtures feature wattage and lumen toggle switch adjustability, allowing you to customize output after installation. Here's how to choose the right wall pack for your lighting needs.

Energy Savings and Return on Investment

Our LED wall packs deliver substantial cost savings through reduced energy consumption. For example, replacing 20 traditional 400-watt metal halide fixtures with 150-watt LED wall packs, which operate 12 hours daily, provides impressive savings.

At $0.13 per kWh, the annual energy savings total $2,847, with total savings of $57,154 over the 20-year LED lifespan. This represents a 73% reduction in energy costs.

Maintenance cost savings add even more value. Over the LED fixture's lifespan, you'll save approximately $8,000 in maintenance costs for the same 20 fixtures. This includes elimination of bulb replacements, ballast changes, and associated labor costs.

Combined with energy savings, the total return on investment typically occurs in under 1 year.

Specifications and Available Options

Our wall packs are available in multiple wattages ranging from 15 watts to 150 watts, with many featuring toggle-adjustable wattage and lumen output. For color temperature, 5000K is our most popular choice and an excellent replacement for metal halide fixtures. 4000K works well for replacing fluorescent lighting. If you can't decide on color temperature, we offer toggle-adjustable fixtures that allow you to select the preferred color temperature after installation.

You can choose between forward throw (no light restriction), full cutoff and semi-cutoff. Full cutoff is the best option for dark sky compliance and facade lighting, where forward throw is the best option for security lighting and pathway lighting. Semi-cutoff is a happy alternative to both of these combined

Motion sensors provide additional energy savings opportunities, while photocells ensure lights turn on and off at appropriate times during the night. We carry all common mounting options for both indoor and outdoor fixtures and can match your existing mounting systems. Since LED fixtures reduce amp load compared to traditional lighting, there's no need to upgrade your electrical panel.

LED Wall Packs Frequently Asked Questions

What Is a LED Wall Pack Light?

LED wall packs are wall-mounted outdoor lighting fixtures that provide energy-efficient illumination for commercial and industrial building exteriors, pathways, parking lots, and security applications. These fixtures mount directly to exterior walls and replace traditional metal halide or high-pressure sodium wall packs with 50-80% energy savings. Most LED wall packs feature IP65 ratings for weather resistance and operate effectively in extreme temperature locations.

How Much Energy Do LED Wall Packs Save Compared to Traditional Fixtures?

LED wall packs deliver 50-80% energy reduction compared to traditional metal halide or high-pressure sodium fixtures. Replacing twenty 400-watt metal halide fixtures with 150-watt LED wall packs saves $2,847 annually in energy costs at $0.13 per kWh. Over the LED's 20-year lifespan, total energy savings reach $57,154 with an additional $8,000 in maintenance cost savings.

What Is the Difference Between Full Cutoff and Forward Throw Wall Packs?

Full cutoff wall packs direct all light downward to minimize light pollution and meet dark sky compliance requirements, making them ideal for facade lighting and environmentally sensitive areas. Forward throw wall packs distribute light both downward and outward for maximum coverage, providing superior security lighting and wide-area illumination. Semi-cutoff designs blend both approaches, reducing light pollution by approximately 50% while maintaining some forward projection.

What Wattage LED Wall Pack Do I Need?

Most commercial applications require 50-watt to 100-watt LED wall packs for standard security and pathway lighting. A 60-watt LED wall pack produces approximately 7,900 lumens and replaces a 175-watt metal halide fixture, while a 100-watt LED replaces 250-watt traditional fixtures. Many wall packs feature toggle-adjustable wattage settings, allowing you to customize output from 50W/75W/100W after installation based on actual lighting needs.

How Long Do LED Wall Pack Lights Last?

Commercial-grade LED wall packs typically last 20+ years with minimal maintenance requirements. Unlike traditional fixtures that require bulb replacements every 1-2 years and ballast changes every 5-7 years, LED wall packs provide consistent light output throughout their lifespan. Most fixtures include 5-year warranties with USA-based support, and the robust construction withstands extreme weather conditions and temperature fluctuations.

What Color Temperature Should I Choose for LED Wall Packs?

5000K color temperature remains the most popular choice for LED wall packs, providing crisp white light that enhances security visibility and effectively replaces metal halide fixtures. 4000K offers a slightly warmer white light suitable for areas transitioning from fluorescent lighting. Many fixtures feature toggle-adjustable color temperature selection, allowing you to choose between 3000K, 4000K, and 5000K after installation.

Do LED Wall Packs Work With Motion Sensors and Photocells?

Many LED wall packs include integrated motion sensors for additional energy savings and automatic security activation. Dusk-to-dawn photocells ensure fixtures turn on automatically at sunset and off at sunrise without manual intervention. These controls can reduce energy consumption by an additional 30-50% in low-traffic areas while maintaining security lighting when needed.

What Certifications Should LED Wall Packs Have?

Quality LED wall packs require UL Listed or ETL Listed certifications for electrical safety and code compliance. DLC Premium qualification ensures maximum utility rebate eligibility and demonstrates superior energy efficiency performance. IP65 ratings provide dust-tight and water-resistant protection for outdoor installations, while IK08 impact ratings ensure durability against mechanical damage.

Why Do Electricians Choose LED Lighting Supply for Wall Pack Projects?

We provide comprehensive project support beyond product sales, including complimentary lighting plans, photometric calculations, and precise energy savings analysis based on your specific installation requirements. Our 15+ years of commercial lighting expertise and experience with 25,000+ completed projects helps contractors select optimal fixture configurations, calculate exact ROI, and ensure proper light levels for security compliance. All products ship from USA warehouses with technical support from experienced lighting specialists who understand installation challenges.

Can LED Wall Packs Be Dimmed?

Many LED wall packs support 0-10V dimming for additional energy savings and light level control. Toggle-adjustable fixtures allow wattage selection between multiple settings (typically 50W/75W/100W) without external dimming controls. Motion sensor-equipped fixtures automatically dim to 20-30% output during inactive periods and brighten to full output when motion is detected, maximizing both security effectiveness and energy efficiency.

What Mounting Options Are Available for LED Wall Packs?

LED wall packs accommodate various mounting configurations including direct wall mount, junction box mount, and conduit entry options for both top and back wiring. Most fixtures include universal mounting brackets compatible with existing wall pack installations, eliminating the need for new electrical work. The reduced amp draw of LED fixtures typically allows direct replacement without electrical panel upgrades, simplifying retrofit installations for contractors.

How Do I Calculate ROI for LED Wall Pack Upgrades?

ROI calculation includes both energy and maintenance savings over the fixture's lifespan. A typical 20-fixture retrofit from 400W metal halide to 150W LED wall packs generates $2,847 annual energy savings plus $400 yearly maintenance savings at standard commercial rates. Total 20-year savings of approximately $65,000 typically provide payback periods under 12 months, making LED wall packs one of the fastest-returning commercial lighting investments.
