Ultra-Efficient Wall Pack With Power & CCT Tunable Options

GKOLED — Thu, 27 Oct 2022 09:30:12 +0000

A staple of the lighting professional’s toolkit, the wall pack is a popular fixture used for exterior security lighting in commercial applications. Though the traditional non-cutoff wall pack tends to be the go-to fixture for many projects, many local ordinances have restrictions that limit the amount of spillover light allowed, which requires the lighting contractor to use a wall pack with a full cutoff design instead. With our new Series GKOWPG15 wall pack, we offer a stylish, low-profile alternative that perfectly fits in with the aesthetics of more modern buildings. And, with a fantastic efficacy of over 140 lm/W, the energy savings add up fast.

Key Features

Available in Fixed Power & CCT wattages of 26W, 38W, 65W, 100W, 135W
Available in Tunable Power & CCT wattages of 65W & 100W
Standard CCT of 5000K, available in 4000K and 3000K
Standard 120-277V voltage, 65W & 100W available with 347-480V
Standard 0-10V Dimming Controls
High efficacy of up to 153 lm/W
Hassle-free 5-year warranty

Available in 5 wattages and 3 CCT options, this versatile light also comes with Power & CCT Adjustment Controls on select wattages. This allows the lighting professional to avoid having to keep track of a range of fixed wattage and CCT fixtures in different configurations in more complex installations. Additionally, an optional 120-277V button photocell can add dusk-to-dawn functionality to the fixtures for additional energy savings, and an optional emergency battery backup can provide up to 90 minutes of emergency operation in the case of a power outage.

Why Photocells are important for your Commercial LED Lighting project

GKOLED — Tue, 22 Oct 2019 10:30:33 +0000

GKOLED’s Roadway Lights, Area Lights, Flood Lights, Wall Packs and Dusk to Dawn Lights can help provide additional security and require reliable dusk to dawn operation. These Commercial LED Lights need to reliably turn on when it gets dark, to ensure safety, and turn off when it gets light, to conserve energy. While it is possible to accomplish this by setting light fixtures on a timer, this solution does not account for the natural changes in daylight that occur in inclement weather. Additionally, as we will experience on November 3rd, a timer will not automatically adjust itself for Daylight Saving Time. A much more effective solution is to install a photocell, which will read the amount of ambient light and turn the fixture on or off accordingly.

To provide the dusk to dawn functionality required by many energy reduction and security lighting LED projects, GKOLED offers photocells for the majority of our Commercial Outdoor LED Lighting fixtures, some as an optional add-on and others included by default. To make this convenient for you we can pre-install the photocells at our Chicago facility by request. However, you may choose to install them yourself as our photocells are set to automatically turn a fixture on at 10-20 Lux and off at 60-80 Lux and do not require complicated programming or setup.

We carry two types of photocells for use with GKOLED’s Commercial LED Lights. Twist Lock Photocells are available in 120-277V, 348V, and 480V, accommodating different electrical requirements, and are attached to the exterior of a fixture for simple service and maintenance. Button Photocells are available in a standard voltage of 120-277V, and are installed inside the fixture with only the sensor exposed, resulting in a low profile. As always, for a Risk-Free Trial of any of our Commercial and Residential LED Lighting fixtures, contact us at 516-670-6888 so we can help you determine what LED light would be the best solution for you.
