Installation of the lighting fixtures

The best way to get the correct amount of light is to ensure that all of the wall pack lighting fixtures are installed at a height of 12 to 18 feet above the ground level. If you intend installing two or more wallpacks, make sure that the difference between each unit is 24 to 36 feet to ensure there is uniformity in light diffusion while ensuring low glaring. The building and lighting regulations in the states differ, thus, it si bets to consult with the local building regulation officers to determine if there are specific guidelines that need to be met.

Light regulations and building codes

The Dark Sky regulations need to be met in the states of Colorado, California, New Mexico and Arizona where there is a high demand for wall pack lighting fixtures that adhere to the zero site line codes and specifications. The specifications include that no light can shine into the sky and lights beams are required to be kept within the buildings. The homeowners and commercial building codes require that most of the lights are directed downwards. Thus, it is best to buy high quality wall pack lighting fixtures which ensure that they adhere to all codes and regulation while providing long term lighting with no breakdowns.

Additionally, florescent wall packs beat any other lamp design when it comes to power saving capabilities.

Selecting the best wall pack lighting solutions
