Although wall packs have been in use all over the residential and commercial establishments some produce more light than the others while consuming the same energy levels. Understanding the input and output power usage is important. The input power measurement is in watts while the output power is measured as lumens. When it is mentioned that some wall packs have higher efficiency it means that the technology used is able to generate more lumens per every watt. This is considered a more efficient and energy conserving fixture than any other wall pack light.
While selecting a wallpack is not just the lumens per watt but the quality, maintenance and purpose of lighting requires consideration. If you are not sure about the right wallpacks and other fixtures to buy, seek the advice of illuminations specialists. By reduction in the total energy consumption can lead to lower energy bills and the wall packs. This is turn means that selecting a wallpack with the right bulb is equally important. When calculating the amount of energy utilized for powering on the HID, metal halide and fluorescent light fixtures require the power generated by the ballast.
Different lighting devices and fixtures emit a range of light. And the quantity of light is measured by lumens while the electricity for the lamp is calculated in watts. Some wall packs and light fixtures produce more lumen than others while consuming a varied range of electricity. In some cases, the ballast in the wall pack affects the output and brightness of light. The most common expression that you must have heard while purchasing wall packs is ‘Lumens per watt’ which means the amount of output of light that you get after consumption of a specific amount of electricity. The efficiency of a wall pack or any other light fixture is measured by the more lumens that the fixture can produce per watt of energy consumed.
Depending upon the age of the lamp, the lumens reduce production of light; the initial lumens/watt is the amount of light produced initially by the wallpack. The fluorescent wall pack only needs 80% less power than an incandescent light while giving the same lumens. Many states have different regulations that put a limit on the watt per sq. ft.
Thus, it is important for a contractor to check out the client’s requirement, type of wall pack being used and the wattage needed.
Used in commercial establishments for a long time, metal halide wall packs are more efficient now than ever before. Additionally, linear fluorescent HB fixtures along with the wallpacks have made inroads into the areas where lights are needed for a longer period. Metal halide HB luminaires do no require reflectors while reflectors tend to dim or lose their refractive abilities when they get dirty and in areas with high chemical production.
