5 Best Locations for LED Wall Pack Lights

Knowing where to place various outdoor lights can help enhance the exterior lighting experience. One of the more common outdoor lights for many spaces is LED wall pack lights.

LED wall packs serve many purposes for commercial and residential areas. For instance, they provide security and safety. These are just two ways wall packs are helpful in these areas.

This blog discusses the best locations where wall packs can enhance lighting, security and more!

Building Exteriors

One of the best locations to place a wall pack is the exterior of a building. Buildings like warehouses and facilities can have dark spots that block visibility around the building. These dark spots can cause safety and security hazards.

Many businesses look for wall industrial lights and other wall lights that can help increase visibility. While other wall lights can be an option, choosing a wall pack light may be a better investment. Wall pack lights offer visibility, safety, and security in the area.

Choose wall packs to improve visibility and enhance safety by decreasing the number of dark spots. An increase in visibility allows security cameras to have clearer images when monitoring the exterior. The increase in illumination also helps people to see better when walking at night.

Parking Garages

Parking garages and parking lots use traditional lighting, incandescent or HID, to brighten up the area. However, these lights are not the best when it comes to lighting. Older lights have a higher energy consumption rate which leads to higher costs in the long run. Older lights also require frequent maintenance checks.

To reduce maintenance and energy consumption, we recommend switching to LED wall packs. LED wall packs are very energy efficient, meaning they use less energy. This increases your energy savings. LED wall packs also require less maintenance, allowing you to use them for longer periods of time.

Using LED wall packs in parking garages decreases the intimidating feeling of parking garages. Higher illumination discourages crime and increases overall appeal.

Walkways

During the night, walkways can become dim and lack the amount of light that is necessary to light the path. Since they use traditional lighting as well, walkways will need to have constant maintenance to fix their lighting. Solar lights are an option that people use too. However, solar lights can have limitations.

To curb these issues, it is important to add an LED wall pack light fixture. LED wall pack fixtures provide focused illumination, helping drivers and pedestrians see where they are going. Since LED lights are a brighter option, they can prevent intruders from entering commercial or residential areas. These wall packs are a great option for leading the way and providing safety throughout the night.

LED wall pack lights are also great for walkways because they can last longer than solar and other lights. LED technology allows the light to last around 25,000 to 50,000 hours. This is much longer than traditional light bulbs. LEDs provide a cost-effective way to save energy while also decreasing the amount of maintenance.

Schools

Without lighting around schools, intruders can walk around and vandalize the area. Bad lighting around schools can also attract animals and other species. The attraction of animals is not beneficial because it can lead to problems infestations, and even attacks.

Schools that do not use LED wall packs tend to increase light pollution. This is where the light points in the wrong direction, deterring animals and humans from experiencing the full night.

For example, residents who live close to the school may see the lights which can affect their sleeping schedule. The light pollution can also cause the animals to get off their regular patterns as well.

To prevent this from happening, it is best to use LED wall pack lights. The LED light is not so bright as it will keep the students or animals awake. However, the lights are big, bright enough to light up the school grounds, so intruders do not feel comfortable.

Having the proper lighting schedules can also solve light pollution issues. By using LEDs, you can schedule the lights to only operate during school hours. Another option is to use the daylight harvesting sensors instead.

By using these newer wall packs, students will have a better time walking around during the darker times of the day.

Parks

During the spring and summer months, parks become very popular. Most people enjoy the warm outdoor conditions with friends and family throughout the night. Unfortunately, public areas suffer from not having the best lighting applications.

Some parks and recreational areas use incandescent and halogen lighting. Over time the lights dim and do not provide the light necessary for the area. They also need multiple maintenance repairs.

Public areas can also have lights that are in the wrong position. This can cause a glare, which causes safety issues and reduces visibility.

This is why LED wall packs are important. You can use them to create a better lighting experience for others in these public spaces. To prevent having to turn on the lights manually, you can choose LED wall pack lights with photocells.

Use photocells to control several lighting functions. For example, photocells with dusk-to-dawn sensors will automatically turn the lights on or off at certain times of the day.

LED wall packs will help to provide the correct amount of light for these public areas. You can adjust these lights to the needs of the public space.

The best locations for LED wall packs are places where visibility is most important. If these places do not have the correct amount of visibility, then other issues can stem from it. You can also see that most traditional lighting applications need frequent maintenance. However, with LED wall packs, you do not need regular maintenance and can worry less about the lights.

Add LED wall packs to your HomElectrical cart to find a variety of lights that will brighten these many locations.
