Start with where the light needs to go.
A wall pack is not just “X watts on a wall.” Distribution, mounting height, nearby property, controls, and the existing housing determine whether the fixture solves the application or creates glare and spill.
Full cutoff
Keep the useful light below the fixture
Entrances, perimeters, residential-adjacent sites, projects with spill-light concerns.
Forward throw
Push coverage farther away from the wall
Loading zones, service areas, deeper perimeter coverage, security applications.
Dusk-to-dawn
Automate ordinary nighttime operation
Simple perimeter applications where a photocell is part of the operating requirement.
Adjustable / architectural
Aim or visually integrate the fixture
Projects where direction, facade appearance, or unusual mounting changes the selection.

The beam shape determines whether the output is useful.
A lower-output forward-throw family can outperform a higher-output full-cutoff family when the target is farther from the building—and the opposite is true when spill must be controlled.
Retrofit the existing wall pack
Consider retrofit when the housing, lens/door, mounting, and surrounding wall are still in good condition and the labor savings justify keeping the enclosure. Confirm the internal space, socket/wiring, thermal conditions, photocell, and required listing before choosing the kit.
Retrofit guideChoose a new wall-pack family
Full replacement makes sense when the housing is deteriorated, distribution needs to change, controls need to be integrated, or the project calls for a different architectural profile. Compare the new fixture as a complete system—not just as a wattage replacement.
