Outdoor Lighting – LED Wall Packs, Flood & Area Lights
Durable and efficient, commercial outdoor lighting improves safety, security, and visibility around your facility. Shop wall packs, flood lights, and area lights to illuminate building perimeters, parking lots, pathways, loading docks, and entrances with long-life LEDs and rugged housings.
DLC Listed
IP65–IP66
0–10V Dimming
Photocell/Motion
120/277V • 347/480V
5–10 Yr Warranty*
Fixtures are available with Type II/III/V optics, cutoff shields for dark-sky sensitivity, and lumen packages sized for small walkways up to large parking lots. Controls-ready drivers support 0–10V dimming, dusk-to-dawn operation via photocells, and motion sensing for energy savings. Expect robust thermal management, surge protection, and UV-stable lenses that maintain output and clarity over time.
Heavy-duty, powder-coated housings and marine-grade hardware resist corrosion in harsh climates, while gasketed, IP65–IP66 seals keep out dust and water. Choose CCTs from warm (3000 K) for neighborhoods to neutral/cool (4000–5000 K) for high-visibility applications. Standard mounting options (wall backplates, yokes, slip-fitters, and pole arms) streamline installation across new builds and retrofits.
What is commercial outdoor lighting?
Weather-rated LED luminaires engineered to deliver uniform illumination and reliability on building exteriors and sites—covering entrances, façades, pathways, and parking areas—while meeting performance, efficiency, and durability requirements for professional installations.

✅ Outdoor Lighting Buying Guide
- Application & Distribution: Match the fixture to the task—area/“shoebox” for parking lots (IES Type III/IV/V), floods for aiming flexibility, wall packs for perimeters, canopy for soffits, bollards/post-tops for paths and plazas.
- Light Levels & Mounting Height: Higher mounting needs higher output and wider distributions. Plan spacing and aiming to avoid dark spots and glare along walks, entries, and lots.
- Wet-Location Protection (IP/NEMA): Choose at least IP65 for rain and wash-downs; NEMA 4X and robust gasketing help in harsh, coastal, or corrosive sites.
- Dark-Sky & Glare Control: Full-cutoff optics, BUG ratings, back-light shields, and forward-throw distributions reduce trespass and skyglow near residences.
- Energy Efficiency: Favor high lumens-per-watt and DLC/Premium listings for lower operating cost and potential rebates.
- Controls: Photocells for dusk-to-dawn, motion sensors with step-dimming for off-hours, and 0–10V/NEMA 3/5/7-pin nodes for networked control.
- Color & Quality: 3000 K for pedestrian-friendly and hospitality, 4000 K for balanced security/clarity, 5000 K for high-visibility tasks; CRI ≥70 is standard.
- Build & Protection: Die-cast housings, powder-coat finishes, impact-resistant lenses (IK), and 4–10 kV surge protection extend life outdoors.
- Electrical & Voltage: Most sites use 120–277 V; large campuses often need 347–480 V drivers. Verify inrush current and breaker sizing.
- Listings & Compliance: UL 1598 for safety, DLC for efficiency incentives, IDA-friendly options where required, and UL 924 if using integral emergency egress.
- Serviceability & Warranty: Tool-less access, replaceable drivers/LED boards, and 5–10-year warranties reduce lifetime cost.
- Mounting & Accessories: Tenon/slipfitter, yoke/knuckle, and pole caps; glare shields, visors, and photocell shorting caps to fine-tune the install.
FAQs About Outdoor Lighting
What types of outdoor lighting fixtures are common?
Typical categories include area/parking lot lights (shoebox), flood lights, wall packs, canopy lights, bollards, and post-tops. Each is optimized for a specific mounting method and beam distribution.
Which IES distribution should I choose?
Type II/III suit walkways and lots at the edge of the pole line, Type IV throws forward for perimeters and building sides, and Type V provides symmetrical coverage for poles located more centrally.
What color temperature works best outdoors?
3000 K feels warm for pedestrian areas, 4000 K balances comfort and visibility, and 5000 K maximizes contrast for security. Check local preferences or light-pollution guidance before selecting very cool CCTs.
How do I control glare and light trespass?
Use full-cutoff optics, select fixtures with appropriate BUG ratings, add house-side/back-light shields, and avoid tilting heads upward. Choose a distribution that matches the site geometry.
Do LEDs handle cold or hot weather?
Yes—LEDs excel in cold climates. Verify the fixture’s operating temperature range. For integral emergency battery options, ensure the pack is rated for your lowest expected ambient.
How many lumens do I need?
It depends on mounting height, spacing, and task. Smaller entries and pathways may use lower-wattage floods or bollards, while 20–30 ft poles over lots typically need medium- to high-output area lights. Photometric layouts provide the most reliable sizing.
What’s the difference between photocells, motion sensors, and networked controls?
Photocells switch on at dusk/off at dawn. Motion sensors brighten when activity is detected and dim otherwise. Networked nodes (NEMA pin) enable scheduling, dimming, and remote monitoring across many fixtures.
Are outdoor fixtures rebate-eligible?
Many are—look for DLC-listed models. Rebates vary by utility; efficiency tiers (e.g., DLC Premium) often qualify for higher incentives.
Can outdoor fixtures provide emergency egress lighting?
Yes. Some luminaires include UL 924 battery backup or can be fed from a life-safety circuit/generator to deliver the required 90 minutes along egress paths. Always confirm with the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
What ratings matter for durability?
IP/NEMA for water/dust, IK for impact, surge protection (kV), corrosion-resistant finishes, and in some pole-mounted cases a 3G vibration rating for roadway environments.
Do I need high-voltage (347–480 V) drivers?
Use them on large campuses and industrial sites with high-voltage distribution. Most commercial buildings use 120–277 V drivers.
Any special considerations for coastal sites?
Specify NEMA 4X or marine-grade finishes, stainless hardware, and sealed optics to combat salt fog and corrosion. Regular rinse-downs extend finish life.
