The exterior semi-recessed mount LED wall light is a uniquely configured outdoor luminaire that produces a wide lateral distribution capable of achieving up to 18-foot on-center fixture spacing at only an 18-inch mounting height, resulting in a one-of-a-kind combination of lighting spread and smoothness. Its proprietary precision acrylic single optic is offered in three tailored distributions and supports up to 1500 delivered lumens, with the ability to be mounted in a downward orientation for pathway, building perimeter, and step lighting or in an upward orientation for indirect lighting applications. The sturdy die-cast body achieves an IK10 impact rating and attaches to a recessed backbox, provided standard, which functions both as the integral driver compartment and j-box. Hydrel’s exclusive Flow-Thru technology utilizes a modular design with independently encapsulated LED and driver modules to enhance durability and thermal performance, and the luminaire maintains a 3G vibration rating per ANSI C136.31 along with an ADA compliant profile. It operates with 0-10V dimming or Reverse phase control and is available in static white, Amber 590nm, and additional monochromatic colors, all within a high-quality 90 CRI offering.
The system is DarkSky Approved as a Pedestrian Comfort Luminaire when the LED surface is mounted below 1.2 meters, or four feet, in a downward position, and it carries a BUG U0 rating along with an IP67 environmental classification. Offered in multiple lumen packages, including 1150, 1200, and 1800 lumens, the luminaire supports correlated color temperatures of 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, and 4000K, along with Amber Limited Wavelength, Blue, Green, and Red static output options. As a wet-location listed LED static light source, it is cCSAus certified and provides distributions including Long Forward Throw, Medium Lateral Throw, Medium Forward Throw, Wide Lateral Throw, and Short Forward Throw. The fixture operates at wattages of 12.7 or 21.3 and accepts 120-277 volt input. Every unit is constructed from corrosion-resistant die-cast low-copper aluminum fitted with a proprietary precision high-clarity acrylic micro-optical assembly. All LED options are produced within 3 MacAdam ellipses and maintain a reported L80 life beyond 120,000 hours.
The luminaire supports Short Forward/Wide Lateral (SW), Medium Forward/Wide Lateral (MW), and Long Forward/Medium Lateral (LM) optical choices and can be paired with a standard 12BCK back box with two ½-inch NPT entries on the back, a 12BTM variant with two entries on the bottom, or a 12S version with side entries, all of which ship separately. Intended for optimal pathway and building perimeter illumination, it achieves best-in-class uniformity and spacing criteria and provides visual continuity when used alongside related pedestal or surface-mount Wander luminaires. The zinc-infused durable TGIC thermoset powder-coat finish undergoes a tightly controlled multi-stage process to ensure a minimum thickness of three mils, enabling superior resistance to corrosion, weathering, and extreme climates without cracking or peeling. The luminaire’s wet-location suitability, cCSAus listing, 3G vibration rating, and adherence to DarkSky Pedestrian Comfort criteria reinforce its performance for demanding exterior conditions.
Supporting Buy America(n) Act requirements, the product qualifies as a domestic end product under the FAR and DFARS provisions, meets DOT Buy America regulations, and satisfies all criteria for the Build America, Buy America Act.
