Our LED Wall Packs with Photocells include commercial wall-mounted outdoor fixtures with automatic dusk-to-dawn operation. Photocells turn the lights on at dusk and off at dawn. Available wall pack models vary by wattage, lumen output, voltage, color temperature, distribution pattern, wet-location rating, and IP rating. Depending on the fixture, additional options include adjustable wattage, selectable color temperature, motion sensors, and 0-10V dimming. Selected models carry UL or ETL safety listings, and many are DLC or DLC Premium listed.

Common applications for these fixtures include building security, commercial exteriors, storage facilities, parking perimeters, entrances, walkways, loading docks, service doors, and exterior work zones. They are installed on warehouses, offices, schools, retail buildings, manufacturing facilities, and distribution centers. Wall-mounted configurations provide lighting around nearby ground areas, access points, pedestrian routes, dock doors, storage lanes, and building perimeters. Photocell wall packs are also used when replacing existing metal halide or high-pressure sodium wall packs with LED fixtures that operate automatically from dusk to dawn.

Choosing the Best LED Wall Pack for Your Application

LED wall packs are wall-mounted outdoor lighting fixtures used for commercial and industrial building exteriors, entrances, walkways, loading docks, service doors, storage facilities, parking perimeters, and exterior work zones. They are commonly installed on warehouses, offices, schools, retail buildings, manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, and other commercial properties that need dependable nighttime visibility around the building.

The right LED wall pack depends on the mounting height, wall location, coverage area, light distribution, fixture output, voltage, controls, local glare or light-trespass requirements, and whether the fixture needs to replace an existing metal halide or high-pressure sodium wall pack. A full cutoff wall pack, semi-cutoff wall pack, forward throw wall pack, or photocell wall pack may all be correct in different applications.

Unlike residential outdoor wall lights, commercial LED wall pack lights are built for higher lumen output, wet-location use, long service life, controls compatibility, and reliable operation in outdoor environments. Many models also offer adjustable wattage, selectable color temperature, photocells, motion sensors, or dimming options, depending on the fixture.

Shop LED Wall Packs by Type

Start with the fixture style that matches the building location and lighting objective. A loading dock, walkway, property line, service entrance, and parking perimeter may each need a different wall pack distribution.

Wall Pack Type	Best Used For
Full Flood / Forward Throw LED Wall Packs	Building perimeter security, loading docks, outdoor work areas, and locations where stronger down-and-outward light coverage is needed.
Semi-Cutoff LED Wall Packs	Exterior areas that need a balance of downward light and forward throw while reducing glare and uplight compared with traditional flood-style wall packs.
Full Cutoff LED Wall Packs	Entrances, walkways, building perimeters, and dark-sky-sensitive areas where light should be directed downward with minimal uplight.
LED Wall Packs with Photocell	Automatic dusk-to-dawn operation for building security, storage facilities, commercial exteriors, and perimeter lighting.
400 Watt Metal Halide Equivalent LED Wall Packs	Replacing older 400W metal halide or HID wall packs with LED fixtures that reduce energy use and maintenance.

LED Wall Packs Compared with Other Outdoor Fixtures

LED wall packs are often compared with flood lights, shoebox lights, canopy lights, and older HID wall packs. The best choice depends on where the fixture mounts and what area needs to be illuminated.

Comparison	What to Know
Wall packs vs. flood lights	Wall packs mount directly to exterior walls for entrances, docks, walkways, and building perimeters. Flood lights are adjustable directional fixtures used for signs, yards, facades, equipment areas, and other targeted outdoor locations.
Wall packs vs. shoebox lights	Wall packs are building-mounted fixtures for nearby ground areas and exterior walls. Shoebox lights are pole-mounted area lights for parking lots, campuses, roadways, dealership lots, and larger open spaces.
Wall packs vs. canopy lights	Wall packs mount vertically on exterior walls. Canopy lights mount overhead under covered structures such as gas station canopies, parking garages, covered walkways, and drive-through lanes.
LED wall packs vs. metal halide wall packs	LED wall packs offer instant-on operation, reduced maintenance, lower energy use, and more control options compared with many older metal halide or high-pressure sodium fixtures.

When LED Wall Packs Are the Right Fit

Wall packs are a good choice when the building itself is the mounting surface and the goal is to illuminate the area near that wall. They are not a substitute for pole-mounted area lights, adjustable flood lights, or hazardous-location fixtures.

Use LED Wall Packs When	Review Another Fixture Type When
Building perimeter security is needed around doors, walkways, docks, storage areas, and exterior walls.	Large open parking lots need pole-mounted area lighting. Use LED shoebox or area lights instead.
Wall-mounted lighting is preferred over pole-mounted fixtures or adjustable flood lights.	Precise directional aiming is required for signs, fields, yards, or long-throw coverage. Use LED flood lights instead.
Existing metal halide or HPS wall packs need to be replaced with LED fixtures.	The area requires hazardous-location ratings. Use properly certified explosion-proof or hazardous-location fixtures.
Automatic dusk-to-dawn operation, motion sensing, or dimming is needed.	Local dark-sky or light-trespass requirements prohibit the selected distribution type.
Outdoor durability is required, including wet-location ratings, impact resistance, or weather-resistant construction.	Architectural appearance is more important than security, utility, or work-zone lighting performance.

How to Choose the Right LED Wall Pack

The best wall pack is not selected by wattage alone. Fixture distribution, mounting height, lumen output, wall location, controls, and nearby property conditions all affect the result.

Selection Factor	What to Confirm
Lighting objective	Security, entrances, pathways, docks, service areas, storage facilities, and perimeter lighting may require different output levels and optics.
Distribution type	Choose full cutoff for downward light, semi-cutoff for balanced coverage, or forward throw where wider security coverage is needed.
Lumen output	Compare lumens, mounting height, coverage area, and existing light levels instead of choosing only by wattage.
Mounting height	Many wall packs are mounted around 12-16 feet, but the correct height depends on fixture output, distribution, and coverage goals.
Voltage	Confirm 120-277V, 347V, 480V, or other voltage requirements before ordering.
Controls	Confirm whether the project needs a photocell, motion sensor, dimming, timer, or building automation compatibility.
Glare and light trespass	Review fixture distribution and placement near property lines, windows, roads, walkways, and neighboring buildings.
Outdoor rating	Confirm wet-location rating, IP rating, operating temperature, impact rating, and corrosion exposure for the site.

Tip: If light trespass, glare, dark-sky requirements, camera visibility, or large exterior coverage matters, review fixture photometrics before ordering.

Best Applications for LED Wall Packs

LED Wall Pack Distribution Types

The distribution type determines where the wall pack sends light. Choosing the correct distribution helps control glare, improve visibility, reduce light trespass, and comply with local lighting requirements.

Full Cutoff Wall Packs	Direct light downward with minimal uplight. Best for dark-sky-sensitive sites, walkways, entrances, and areas where spill light must be controlled.
Semi-Cutoff Wall Packs	Provide a balance between downward light and forward throw. Useful where broader coverage is needed but glare and uplight should be reduced.
Full Flood / Forward Throw Wall Packs	Send light down and outward for wider exterior security coverage. Common for perimeter lighting, service areas, and building security.
Dusk-to-Dawn Wall Packs	Include or support photocell operation so lights automatically turn on at dusk and off at dawn.

Voltage, Photocells, Motion Sensors, and Controls

Wall pack voltage and controls should be confirmed before ordering, especially when replacing existing HID fixtures or connecting to an existing photocell, timer, or building control system.

Option	What to Confirm
120-277V	Common for many commercial buildings, warehouses, offices, retail centers, schools, and exterior security lighting.
347V	Common in some Canadian and commercial applications. Verify fixture driver compatibility before ordering.
480V	Used in some industrial facilities and high-voltage commercial electrical systems. Verify the fixture is rated for 480V before ordering.
Photocell wall packs	Automatically turn lights on at dusk and off at dawn. Check whether the building circuit already uses a photocell, timer, or automation system.
Motion sensor wall packs	Increase light output when motion is detected and reduce output when areas are inactive, depending on fixture and sensor configuration.
0-10V dimming	Allows compatible wall packs to integrate with lighting controls, timers, energy management systems, or advanced control strategies.

Specifications and Available Options

LED wall packs are available in multiple wattages and lumen packages, with many models offering wattage and color-temperature adjustability. This allows the installer or facility manager to tune light output after installation, depending on the fixture.

Specification	What to Review
Wattage and lumens	Models range from lower-output entry lighting to high-output security lighting. Compare lumen output and photometric performance, not just wattage.
Color temperature	5000K is common for metal halide replacement and security visibility. 4000K may be preferred for some commercial properties.
Mounting	Wall packs are designed for exterior wall mounting and are often used to replace existing HID wall pack footprints.
Outdoor rating	Select wet-location-rated fixtures with the proper IP rating for rain, dust, and outdoor exposure.
Electrical load	LED fixtures typically reduce amp draw compared with traditional HID wall packs, but site voltage and electrical conditions should be verified before installation.

Our commercial customer installed wattage-adjustable wall packs to light an outdoor court area.

When a Wall Pack Lighting Layout Helps

A wall pack lighting layout can be helpful when the project involves multiple fixtures, long building perimeters, loading docks, parking areas near the building, security-sensitive zones, strict light-level targets, glare concerns, or property-line spill light. Simple one-for-one replacements may only need product selection support, but larger exterior projects should review fixture placement, mounting height, light distribution, and expected coverage.

Request a wall pack lighting layout if the project needs fixture placement, spacing, expected light levels, or coverage review before ordering.

Benefits of Using LED Wall Packs

Energy savings	LED wall packs can reduce energy use compared with metal halide, HPS, and other traditional outdoor fixtures, with actual savings depending on fixture wattage, operating hours, controls, and utility rates.
Reduced maintenance	LED fixtures eliminate routine lamp and ballast replacement common with HID wall packs.
Instant operation	LED wall packs reach usable output quickly without the warm-up delay associated with many HID systems.
Improved visibility	Building-mounted exterior lighting can help reduce dark zones around doors, docks, walkways, and service areas.
Control compatibility	Many models support photocells, motion sensors, dimming, or automated control strategies, depending on the fixture.
Weather-resistant construction	Commercial-grade housings and wet-location ratings help fixtures perform outdoors when selected for the site conditions.
Retrofit-friendly options	Many LED wall packs are designed to replace existing HID wall packs while reducing installation complexity.

Energy Savings and Return on Investment

LED wall packs can reduce operating costs through lower energy use and reduced maintenance compared with many older HID systems.
