Security & Exterior Building Lighting

LED Wall Packs & Flood Lights for Security & Exteriors

Exterior building lighting has to do two jobs at once: deter unwanted activity after dark and stay out of the way of neighbours and passing traffic. This collection covers standard, cut-off, slim, mini, and architectural wall packs (8W-120W) plus flood lights up to 500W for larger sites.

How to Choose the Right Fixture

Standard wall packs throw light both up and down the wall face; cut-off (also called "full cut-off" or "dark-sky") wall packs direct all light downward, eliminating uplight and glare — increasingly required by municipal light-pollution bylaws. Slim and mini wall packs suit lower-profile architectural applications where a bulky housing would stand out. Flood lights (15W-500W) are the right choice for larger open areas like building perimeters, storage yards, or sports courts where a wall-mounted fixture doesn't have the reach.

Certifications & Code Compliance

All fixtures include built-in photocells for automatic dusk-to-dawn operation, are DLC listed, and rated for 120-347V input. Dark-sky/full cut-off options in this collection help meet increasingly common municipal light-pollution bylaws in Alberta communities.

Common Applications

• Building perimeter and loading dock security
• Commercial facade and entrance lighting
• Storage yards and outdoor equipment areas
• Multi-family exterior common areas

FAQ

Do I need a dark-sky compliant fixture? Check with your municipality — many Alberta communities now restrict uplight and light trespass for new commercial construction. Our full cut-off wall pack options are built to address this.

What wattage flood light do I need for a storage yard? This depends heavily on yard size and pole height — as a starting point, 100-150W flood lights suit smaller yards under 100ft, while 300-500W units are typical for larger industrial storage areas. Talk to us with your site dimensions for a more precise recommendation.
