LED Wall Pack Lights for Real Estate Organizations Resident safety is a priority at virtually every property development in the country and LED wall pack lighting can be a big part of your organization’s plan to help tenants, maintenance, and management personnel (as well as passers-by) feel more safe. How so? Take a look at the photos below and note the difference. They are “before” and “after” shots from Mckee Group’s Storage Facility project, located on the outskirts of Philadelphia.

In the BEFORE image, the alley between storage sites is lit by monochromatic low-pressure sodium discharge bulbs. This is the worst kind of bulb on the market for color rendering index (CRI) - as evidenced by the fact that virtually everything appears yellow (i.e. other colors don’t render very well). Compare that to the second picture (AFTER). Now the real estate is lit by state-of-the-art LED wall pack lighting . The difference is immediately noticeable. Better color rendering and better overall visibility are two of the most tangible benefits of LED wall pack lights.
