LED wall luminaire, as its name implies, allows lights to wash over the wall, and is mainly used for architectural lighting and outline contouring of tall buildings. Because LED light has the advantages of energy conservation, high Luminous Efficiency, abundant colors and long life span, indoor and outdoor adjustable wall light with other light source was replaced with LED wall washer in 2013.
What is LED wall pack lighting? It’s LED wall mount light fixture, also named linear LED flood light. Due to its rectangle shape, some people call it LED strip light, which has similar technical parameters as LED flood light. Compared to the round shape of LED flood light, LED wall pack retrofit uses proof air valve to solve internal and external balance pressure difference of the light and water-proof problem, meanwhile the bar structural heat dissipation system is easier to tackle.
Structural Features
LED wall pack light power supply modules are installed inside the case. The space is limited. In order to save space, some manufacturers weld the pin-style component surface on PCB, which is not acceptable. These pin-style components that are welded on the surface have high chance to fall off because of rosin joint, and lead to certain risks. So socket welding method should be adopted to these components as the best alternative. If you have no alternative but to weld on the surface, you must fix the components with glue or in other ways to provide additional safeguard.
Wall Pack Lights Application
Let’s analyze below the main application of indoor and outdoor wall mount LED light fixtures and the achievable effects of them. LED wall mount through built-in microchip’s control, can be used without controller and achieves dynamic effects such as gradient, hopping, color flashing, random flashing, alternating gradient in small-scale engineering applications. It can also achieve pursuing, scanning and so forth through DMX control.
1. Application Effects
First of all, LED adjustable wall light through built-in microchip’s control, can be used without controller and achieve dynamic effects such as gradient, hopping, color flashing, random flashing, alternating gradient in small-scale engineering applications. It can also achieve pursuing, scanning and so forth through DMX control.
2. Application places
It is because LED high power wall washer, or surface mount led fixture, can have such effects that in 2013 it has been widely applied to individual building, billboard lighting, historic building monuments’ outer wall lighting, greenery landscape lighting, block’s inside light through outside lighting, indoor partial lighting, medical and cultural professional facilities lighting, amusement places such as bar, ballroom lighting. They are usually adjustable exterior wall lights that work as plug in wall lamp. Wall pack light white pure color is the mostly used color temperature.
3. Development trends
Since 2013, LED wall washer has been applied to all kinds of places, such as corporation and enterprises’ building wall brightening, government building’s brightening, historic architectural wall’s illumination, entertainment venues and so on. The range is getting wider and wider, from indoor to outdoor, from partial brightening to full scope lighting. All these are recent improvements and developments.
Nowadays industrial swing arm wall lamp has been popular in lighting engineering. Not long into the future, it will become a part of brightening engineering. That’s why wall packs for sale are getting more and more popular nowadays. For example, a 150 watt led wall pack can replace a 400 watt metal halide, and LED wall pack 400w equivalent is 1000 watt metal halide.
LED wall washer can be narrower or wider, and either high-power LED light source or low power.
Working Requirements
LED extendable wall light’s voltages are 220V AC, 110V AC, 24V DC and 12V DC. When we choose the power supply, we need to pay attention to corresponding voltage. In addition, it has 18V DC and 36V DC. These two transformers are relatively scarce in the market, it’s not easy to match transformers, so generally we use 24V or 12V for low power.
1. Working Temperature
Because wall washer is mostly used outside, this parameter is very important, also has high requirement for temperature. Swing arm wall sconce hardwired safety issue should be considered because of the temperature.
2. Level of Protection
This is an important parameter of wall washer, also an important index of affecting the quality of LED hurdle lamp. We must have strict requirement to it. If using outside, it’s best to ask the water-proof level above IP65. Besides, it also requires relevant pressure-proof, fragmentation-proof, high and low temperature-resistant, burn-resistant and anti-ageing level.
3. IP65
6 stands for preventing dust from going in completely. 5 represents no damage when water flows through.
4. Control Method
Currently there are two control methods for LED wall washer: inside control and outside control. Inside control doesn’t connect the controller outside. Engineers designed the control system inside the wall washer. The degree effect can’t be changed. Outside control connects the controller to the external sources. Its effect can be changed through adjusting main controller’s press key. Usually for large projects, customers require that it changes the effects by itself. So we adopt outside control. Many wall washers support directly DMX512 control system.
5. Light Source
Our LED wall washer adopts 15W and 50W LED as light source. Under this advanced light source, a LED wall pack 1000w equivalent is 2500w metal halide.
6. Specification and Size
One meter is the acquiescent unit length. Because the outer case is pulled out from the high-temperature aluminum profile, the length, width and height can be made according to customers’ requirements (customization).
