LED Wall Pack source

DiamondWash

Well-known member
Looking for suggestions on where to find an affordable yet reliable source for LED wall packs, for the past few months I've been watching some suppliers change or discontinue certain brands either due to availability issues or the brand(s) they represent have gone under. I'm currently looking a brand named GKOLED if anybody has heard of them like always any and all help is appreciated.
 
I bought twelve of the cheapest I could get off of Amazon in 2019. Ten went in self service bays, two in a touchless auto, all are on 24/7 and the only one that failed twice so far has been the entrance to the auto near the undercarriage spray.
 
Just ordered another case pretty impressive they have come a long way and very bright. Easy maintenance where not getting any younger.

I have bought dozens in all lengths. Some have 3 rows of LEDs and some have 2. I have used it under vac Island canopies but would not use in an SS Bay. I have some that burn 24/7 under a canopy and they last a couple of years.
 

Randy suggested this company. I ordered 40 lights, 2 &1/2 yrs ago. Only 1 went out & it was compromised by a leak. However, I did get 8 discontinued, & 6 of em went out. They replaced all 6, even though they didn't have to. Dam good company. Gives volume discount & right now 16% off for Halloween discount. Ha

My bays are around 12-13ft height range so would a 40W - 60W LED fixture be what I'm looking for? before switching to LED we had 175W MH fixtures, so do I need to find a 175W equivalent LED model?
 
Steve it's actually best to call & let them advise you. Thats what they do all day. Switching from MH to LED is gonna save you a $hit ton! Payback will be 1 yr I bet...
Id even check w/ your el3ctric provider. They may offer a rebate. They did in Okla, & payback was like 90 days!! Ha
 
I put one of these on the outside end of my car wash to keep people from camping on the end of the car wash. https://www.parmida.com/products/led-wall-pack-light-26w are they ever bright. I think I've had them up about a year now and they are still going strong. Steve, you've got a lot of different options. I have 8' LED tubes in the bays at my wash, they're going strong and not any failures in over 5 years. My brother uses the LED canopy lights https://www.eledlights.com/collections/led-canopy-lights/Fixture 2 in each bay and it's bright.

My rule of thumb has been LED 1/3 wattage approx of MH replacing - has worked for me.
