As is the case with almost any item sold to consumers, the market for lighting has created a true competition. One type of fixture seems to be doing well in that competitive market: wall mounted lights. Wallpacks especially appear to be in the lead. Such fixtures manage to meet the needs of homeowners, business owners and those who own and operate public or commercial properties.
Inside of a private residence, a wall mounted lights up only one section of a room. In contrast to that, a wallpack on an exterior surface can send beams over a large area. It can be used in places such as a parking garage, along the driveway in a shipping facility, or on the edges of a public tennis court. No fixture attached to some type of long, exposed wire would be suited for use in such a place.
Interior decorators have long appreciated the benefits offered by lighting fixtures that have been designed to go on the wall. Such items do not interfere with a family’s ability to come and go within a particular section of a room. Of course a wall-pack is not the only sort of fixture that can be used in a home, whenever the residents want to limit the interference of their daily activities. Recessed lighting offers the same advantages.
Thus the reader might wonder why wall packs seem to be leading in the competition that has pitted them against one of the other wall mounted lights, notably recessed lighting. Details regarding the installation of each item help to furnish the answer to that puzzle. A wall pack is quite easy to install. It comes as a single unit, not a collection of various parts.
On the other hand, a recessed lighting fixture has numerous parts. The man or woman who is charged with installing such an item must gather together wiring, dimmer switches, trim rings and bulbs. While the trim rings make that fixture almost invisible, once it has been installed, those same elements also make it harder to introduce into a ceiling, at the top of a vertical surface or at the bottom of a cabinet. That process involves a good deal of patching.
Now at one time homeowners felt ready to undertake such a difficult installation process, in order to enjoy some of the other benefits that used to be offered only by traditional wall mounted lights, as well as those that became almost invisible, once put in place. Indeed, for a while such fixtures did offer certain features not found in wallpacks. However, that is no longer the case.
At one time, homeowners could not alter the brilliance of a wall pack’s beam, because it could not respond to the controls of a dimmer. However, the introduction of newer technology has allowed the wall pack to respond to a dimmer’s controls. In addition, similar technology has made it possible for a wallpack to be linked to a sensor. Therefore, it can now be used on exterior fixtures, as a way for detecting the presence of intruders.
Concerns about electrical costs have also influenced consumers to consider traditional wall mounted lights over wallpacks in the past. At one time a wall pack could not be used with a power source that relied on solar power. However, that too is no longer true. Today, a homeowner who wants to save money by utilizing solar power does not have to forgo the conveniences associated with those comprehensive devices that get attached to a vertical surface, i.e. a wallpack.
