Wall Pack Lights

Wall Pack Lights

• If you are a business owner, you might not
  realize it but you probably already have several 
  wall pack lights around your building. This is
  because these are the most common forms of
  exterior lighting seen around commercial
  structures. These lights are all in one units
  that just need to be wired into an electrical
  source for power and you will have a bright,
  flooding light.

• There are some issues with some types of  wall
  pack lights which might or might not affect you.
  That is why when you are making your choices for
  your lights, you should talk to an expert. Armed
  with a lighting schematic of your desired
  illumination around your business, an expert can
  help you to narrow down the many options
  available to find the ones which are the best for
  your specific project. Without the right lights,
  you might put the safety and security of your
  business at risk, and in some communities, you
  could be breaking municipal codes or even the
  law.

• You have invested a lot into your business, and
  you will want it to be safe and secure. The best
  way to do this is to ensure that the exterior of
  your building is well lit on all sides. For this
  purpose, most businesses turn to the
  cost-effective brightness offered by  wall pack
  lights. These lights are easy to install and cost
  effective in price. That makes purchasing them in
  the large quantities required to light all around
  the average commercial business.

• For these bright, exterior lights, you will want
  energy efficient bulbs in the fixtures. This is
  why the most popular options for wall pack lights
  are either metal halide or high pressure sodium
  lights. Both of these are very efficient in their
  operation. If you want to have your lights tied
  into a motion detector, you will not want to
  choose these bulbs, though. This is because high
  pressure sodium and metal halide lights do not
  light up to their fullest brightness immediately
  upon receiving power. Instead, these need both a
  brief warm up and cool down time before and after
  lighting. Most businesses will have separate
  lights with their motion detectors that are
  equipped with either incandescent or halogen
  bulbs, both of which are perfect motion operated
  choices.

• Some places will require that you do not
  contribute to the already problematic light
  pollution. This means that the  wall pack lights
  around your business should not be able to be
  seen above the roof line. The beams from all of
  your lights should be directed downward. In order
  to achieve this effect, you will need zero sight
  line wall packs. Ask a local electrician or
  architect if these lights will adhere to the
  local municipal light codes. If you are unsure,
  seek another expert's advice.
• Choosing this equipment is not difficult to do,
  but if you need assistance in finding the best
  wall pack lights for your home or business, it
  would be best to ask an expert who will help to
  guide you through the steps for the selection of
  these  lights.
