Wall pack lights help illuminate building entry points, loading zones and perimeter areas. Explore the range of wall pack and flood lighting within Ace Hardware's lighting and electrical department. Options from Lumark, Satco Nuvo and other brands help improve visibility and security around commercial and industrial properties.
LED Wall Packs for Exterior Building Illumination
LED wall pack fixtures mount directly to exterior walls and are designed to cast light downward and outward across entry points, docks and parking areas. As part of our commercial lighting selection, these fixtures often support a property's wall-mounted lighting or security lighting plan, helping improve visibility around entrances and parking areas after dark.
- Wall-mounted design:helps direct light where it's needed without additional poles or freestanding fixtures.
- LED technology:can support lower energy use compared to older HID fixtures such as metal halide wall packs.
- Exterior-grade construction:is designed to help withstand outdoor weather exposure across seasons.
- Configuration options:Wattages typically range from 17 W to 100 W, with some models offered in low-profile wall pack designs suited for tighter mounting spaces.
LED Flood Lights for Wide-Area Outdoor Coverage
When a project calls for broader illumination than a single wall pack can provide, LED flood lights are often selected for parking lots, sports courts and large open building exteriors. High-output models can help illuminate large outdoor spaces from a single fixture, reducing the need for multiple smaller lights.
- High-output beam:can help illuminate large open spaces without multiple fixtures.
- Wide-area coverage:is often used for parking lots, loading yards and recreational areas.
Choosing the Right Fixture for Your Space
Since wall packs and flood lights serve different coverage needs, this table can help you compare fixture types before deciding based on the size and layout of your space.
| Fixture type | Best for | Coverage area |
| Standard LED wall pack | Entry points, perimeters and dock areas | Wall-adjacent zones |
| Low-profile wall pack | Areas with limited mounting clearance | Compact wall-adjacent zones |
| LED flood light | Parking lots, courts and open yards | Wide open-area zones |
Powering and Controlling Your Outdoor Lighting
Getting a wall pack or flood light fixture wired and running smoothly often involves a few supporting parts beyond the fixture itself.
- Electrical boxes:provide the housing needed to safely wire wall pack and flood light fixtures into a building's electrical system.
- Photoelectric sensors:can help lighting turn on automatically at dusk and off at dawn through dusk-to-dawn controls, reducing the need for manual switching.
How Far Apart Should You Install Wall Pack Lights?
Spacing depends on the wattage of each fixture and the mounting height along the wall. Higher-wattage fixtures can typically be spaced farther apart while still maintaining even coverage across a building's exterior. A lighting professional or local electrician can help determine exact spacing based on a property's layout and desired brightness level.
Can You Use Wall Pack Lights Indoors?
Wall pack lights are primarily designed for exterior use and are most commonly installed on outdoor building walls, entry points and perimeter areas. Some industrial spaces may adapt similar fixtures for interior use, but this is not the primary application. For indoor task lighting or workshop needs, work and shop lights may be a more suitable option.
