When meeting with commercial and hospitality property managers, a common theme is that landscape lighting used to illuminate areas like signs, monuments, and trees are frequently broken by vandalism or daily wear and tear from rocks, branches and even weed wackers. When the glass lens breaks, this allows moisture to break the lamp as well as damage or destroy internal components. Because of this, the fixtures often need to be replaced. 

Access Fixtures tested the durability of vandal-resistant LED wall packs in their new video, “Will It Light?” In the video, Access Fixtures team members and lighting specialists dropped a vandal-resistant wall pack with LG LED Modules from the roof of a building. As a control, they also dropped an Epson printer. While the printer shattered immediately, the vandal-resistant wall pack only suffered a small crack and still lights.

Access Fixtures is expanding its line of LED Wall Packs by adding new vandal resistant LED wall packs. The new LED wall packs use traditional and modern designs that architects and designers are familiar with, but instead of using glass on the front of the fixture, the entire fixture is incased in heavy-duty aluminum. Eliminating glass leaves nothing to break, but it means the light engines have to be included in a new way.
