LED Wall Pack Fixtures

Outdoor LED Wall Pack Lights

If you're in need of high-quality, yet affordable LED wall pack lights, you've come to the right place. 1000Bulbs.com offers a wide selection of LED wall pack lighting that is sure to fit your application. Choose from a variety sizes, lumen outputs, brands, and other features to find the right wall pack to meet your needs. Our selection of LED wall packs also includes DLC rated options for utility rebates where available and full cutoff fixtures that decrease light pollution.

LED wall pack lighting is an excellent solution for outdoor security lighting around building perimeters, walkway, and parking lots. With durable features such as a shatter-resistant polycarbonate or glass lens, die-cast aluminum housing, and either UL listed or IP65 rated for wet locations, these wall packs are designed to protect each fixture from bad weather. Pair with timers or photocells for hassle free bright night time lighting and energy savings during the day without needing to worry about manually turning the fixture on and off.

Color Temperature Options for Wall Pack Lights

Our LED wall pack lights come in a wide range of color temperature options, ranging from 3000 Kelvin up to 6500 Kelvin. 4000 Kelvin or 5000 Kelvin are the most popular and have been shown to increase nighttime visibility. We also offer fixtures with a 2200 Kelvin color temperature to match the appearance of traditional high pressure sodium (HPS) fixtures.

HID vs. LED Wall Pack Lights

HID wall pack lights have higher initial lumen ratings than equivalent LED fixtures and feature an internal aluminum reflector to better direct the light outward. Metal halide and high-pressure sodium lamps are typically omni-directional meaning the light is emitted in all directions: top, sides, and bottom. However, the wall mounted light fixtures are not omni-directional meaning roughly 30% of the lamp's lumen output is lost within the reflector. These types of lamps also lose lumens quickly over time.

Comparatively, LED wall pack lights are designed to have a more directional beam angle than metal halide and high-pressure sodium wall pack fixtures, so no light is lost within the fixture. These fixtures also do not lose lumens in the same way, meaning the brightness stays consistent longer and need to be replaced far less frequently.

Don't let the lumen numbers confuse or discourage you when comparing the different technologies, and don't hesitate to give our lighting experts a call if you have any questions. LEDs are also a good choice for those wanting high efficiency, energy-saving lighting. These low Watt fixtures consume less energy than their HID equivalents and are much more likely to be DLC rated.

How to Install a LED Wall Pack Light

Our wall pack fixtures are designed for hardwire installation meaning they operate directly off of line voltage, typically 120-277V. These light fixtures mount directly to the wall via a junction box. Some of our wall packs have mounting hardware included, so look for that when comparing products to find the right setup for your needs.

Wall pack lights may also include an optional shade that can be installed to better direct the light downward and decrease light pollution. 1000Bulbs.com also offers both rotatable and cutoff LED wall pack lights. Rotatable fixtures feature rotatable light panels that allow you to aim the light directly were you need it, while cutoff fixtures keep light from being lost above the fixture.

If you're ready to upgrade to energy-efficient LEDs but don't want to replace the entire fixture, LED retrofit kits are a good alternative. Most of these kits are essentially LED lights that screw into the existing fixture in place of the HID bulb. They are available as either direct wire bulbs that require bypassing the ballast or as a plug-and-play that operates with the existing ballast. For plug-and-play LED retrofits, be sure to check the spec sheet for a list of ballasts tested and approved for use with the bulb before purchasing.

Pairing Wall Packs with Photocells and Motion Sensors

Any outdoor lighting can benefit from the addition of photocells and motion sensors. LED wall packs lights are no exception, but there are several facts, tips, and tricks that need to be considered before purchasing and adding photocontrols to your lighting system.

If you live in the northern hemisphere, your photocells, also known as dusk to dawn sensors, should face north whenever possible. North-facing light sensors allow for the most balanced on/off schedule based on the arc of the sun. If pointed west, it will turn on and off late and vice versa for east-facing light sensors. Photocells facing the south will be exposed to the most direct sunlight which can burn out the components and cause premature failure. If you want your lights to come on early or late, we recommend pointing the light sensor northeast or northwest, respectfully. The opposite is true south of the equator.

It's important to note, when upgrading to LED, your dusk to dawn sensors must be compatible with LEDs in order to operate properly. If using a conventional photocell, be sure to replace it with one rated for use with LEDs. While conventional light sensors will still work with LED fixtures at first, they will burn out prematurely. The same is true for motion sensors.

LED Wall Pack Light FAQs

Here some of the most common frequently asked questions and answers about wall pack lighting.

What are LED wall pack lights?

• LED wall pack lights are outdoor lighting fixtures designed to be mounted on walls or vertical surfaces to provide illumination for areas like building perimeters, parking lots, and walkways.

How do LED wall packs compare to traditional HID wall packs?

• LED wall packs are more energy-efficient, have longer lifespans, and maintain light output better over time compared to traditional metal halide or high-pressure sodium wall packs.

What are cutoff LED wall packs?

• Cutoff LED wall pack lights are designed so that the majority of the light output is aimed down towards the ground, reducing light pollution. Many areas require cutoff wall packs to meet local Dark Sky requirements. Two are two distinct types: full cutoff and semi cutoff. Full cutoff wall packs direct all light output downwards and have no light spillage, while semi cutoff wall packs allow some light to be aimed upwards above the fixture.

Are LED wall packs durable for outdoor use?

• Yes, quality LED wall packs have rugged, weatherproof housings rated for wet locations and shatter-resistant polycarbonate or glass lenses to withstand harsh outdoor conditions.

Can LED wall pack lights be controlled by sensors or timers?

• LED wall packs can easily integrate with dusk-to-dawn photocells or motion sensors for automated control and additional energy savings by only operating when needed.

Do LED wall pack lights come with photocells, or do they need to be purchased separately?

• Some LED wall packs lights come with integrated (built-in) photocells, however most do not. If the fixture you are looking at does not have an integrated sensor, you will have to purchase the photocell separately. We offer a wide range of photocell options, including stem mount and fixed position. Just make sure that the photocell you choose is designed for use with LED fixtures.

What color temperatures are available for LED wall packs?

• Common color temperature options for LED wall packs include 4000K cool white, 5000K daylight, and selectable CCT models that allow switching between warm and cool tones.
