TCP Lighting LED Wall Pack
What is a wall pack light?
Wall pack lights mount on the outside of buildings and function primarily as security lighting. These lights typically feature a durable exterior to withstand harsh temperatures and weather. Light distributions, or beam angles, differ depending on the type of wall pack used.
| Type of Wall Pack | Light Distribution | Where to Use |
|---|---|---|
| Cutoff | Downward | Small to medium areas |
| Semi-cutoff | Outward and down | Medium areas |
| Non-cutoff | Outward | Large areas |
How do you choose a wall pack?
When deciding which wall pack to choose for your building, consider the type of light distribution you need. Full cutoff lights work well in small areas like narrow passageways. Semi-cutoff fixtures work well brightening entryways and walkways. Non-cutoff, sometimes referred to as forward throw, work well in large areas like entrances, garages, schools, and other public areas.
Also consider the following:
Color temperature determines the color of the white light emitted by the fixture or bulb. For commercial applications, they often range from 3000K-5000K. 3000K provides a warm glow that works well lighting homes and restaurants. 4000K provides a crisp white that works well for task lighting applications. 5000K color temperatures provide a cool white similar to daylight.
Lumens play an important part as they measure the brightness of the fixture. Lumens measures the total amount of visible light emitted by the light source. To properly light a space, make sure you have the right amount of lumens needed. TCP Lighting provides a range of lumen options with their wide selection of wall pack lights.
Lastly, consider any additional features you may need, like a photocell or CCT selectable options. Photocells turn the fixture on once the sun sets and shuts it off once the sun rises again. This helps save energy by only turning the light on when needed.
CCT selectable options allow you to choose the color temperature of your fixture from a set of options. This allows you to decide which color temperature works best in your space.
