What are Semi-cutoff LED Wall Pack Lights?

Semi-cutoff LED wall pack lights are versatile lighting fixtures that offer a blend of benefits from full cutoff and forward-throw wall packs. They are designed to illuminate outdoor spaces like building perimeters, walkways, parking areas, and more. The key feature of semi cut off lights is their unique lighting spread: not quite as widespread as a full flood, yet not as focused as a full cutoff. The wall pack light fixtures distribute the light downward and outwards equally.

These lights serve dual roles: providing substantial illumination for security purposes while minimizing light pollution and glare, making them a considerate choice for areas with dark-sky compliance guidelines.

How to Determine Semi-Cutoff LED Wall Pack Lighting is the Best Choice

Selecting the appropriate wall pack lighting depends on a number of factors:

The purpose of the light: If you need a balanced blend of widespread illumination for security purposes and a controlled light throw to minimize light pollution, semi-cutoff lights are an excellent choice.

• Existing lighting setup: If you’re replacing existing wall packs, consider their current wattage, quantity, and performance. If the existing lighting isn’t sufficient, semi-cutoff lights may provide the enhanced coverage you need.
• Mounting height: Semi-cutoff wall packs are typically mounted between 8 and 16 feet high. The mounting height can impact the effective light spread.
• Compliance requirements: If you need to meet dark sky guidelines but also require a broader light spread than a full cutoff fixture provides, a semi-cutoff wall pack can meet these needs. You will also want to check out full cut-off wall packs, which are better at meeting dark sky requirements.

In addition to these considerations, determine the voltage, motion sensor needs, photocells, and color temperature you need. Consult with one of our lighting professionals. We can also make a lighting plan that can help with your decision.

Benefits of LED Semi Cutoff Wall Pack Lights

LED semi-cutoff wall packs have many benefits over HID Wall Packs:

• Energy Efficiency: Like all LED lights, they’re highly energy efficient, offering significant savings on electricity bills.
• Lifespan: These lights have a long lifespan. They require little, if any, maintenance.
• Versatility: Their design strikes a balance between widespread illumination and downward-focused lighting, making them suitable for many commercial lighting needs.
• Instant Light: They turn on and off instantly, making them compatible with motion sensors and photocells. Those installed with dimmable LED drivers make them adjustable when there is no activity in the area.

How to Calculate How Many Semi Cutoff Wall Pack Lights You Need

Creating a lighting plan is the best way to determine how many wall-packed lights you need. The plan should factor in the size and layout of your property, the purpose of the lighting, and any compliance requirements. Our team can assist in creating an outdoor lighting plan that addresses your needs.

Dark Sky Compliant Semi Cutoff Wall Packs

Yes, our semi-cutoff wall pack fixtures are designed to reduce light pollution and glare while providing effective illumination, making them a solid choice for areas requiring dark sky compliance. A better choice would be a full cutoff wall pack, which we can also provide.

Installing Semi Cutoff LED Wall Pack Lights

Installation is an easy process for a certified electrician. After disconnecting power from the existing wall pack and removing it, the new semi-cutoff wall pack is mounted using the provided hardware. The light is then wired, with a line, neutral, and ground wire to complete the installation.
