Wall packs are differentiated by the direction and amount of light they give off, which may be cut off to a certain degree by the shape of the fixture’s casing. A full cutoff wall pack only casts light downward at a narrow angle. The cutoff reduces upward light spill that would otherwise contribute to light pollution, as well as concentrating the light so it does not cast on unintended areas. Full cutoff wall packs are best for washing the sides of buildings in light or directly lighting an entryway or pathway bordering a building.
ILP offers full cutoff wall packs, as well as open face and semi-cutoff fixtures for more expansive illumination. To minimize your contributions to light pollution, opt for their full cutoff fixtures.
ILP’s wall packs are wet location fixtures, meaning their fixtures have sealants and protections against water and moisture damage. This makes them suitable for outdoor locations like parking lots and loading docks where exposure to weather elements is more prevalent.
However, you can use ILP wall packs for any outdoor application, including pathways, entryways, recreational spaces, and more. Ideal applications include pedestrian walkways, multi-use facilities, industrial and storage facilities, parking lots, and schools. ILP’s slim profile wall packs are great for tight spaces like stairwells and hallways, or any place that would benefit from inconspicuous fixtures.
