Housing for Outdoor Security Light

03/24/2009 2:50 PM

I am looking for some kind of housing to use as an outdoor security light application. I don't want the electronics or lamp wiring. What I am finding are housings that are entire lights. I just need a a half circle wall sconce like the type you see on outside of buildings. I cannot "google" the right term to come up with such a thing. Any ideas out there? The one I find appears to be a casting, and is for a particular light, but don't they have any standard things of this sort?

Have you tried "shroud"? As in security light or lamp sun shroud.

Thanks for your input. I'm trying "shrouds" but still not finding it. I'll keep looking. I know these are probably made for the Hubbell lighting companies of the world, and I think it's a diecast aluminum, so I am afraid I might have to tell engineering we need to design one, and pay tooling. Ugh.

I don't need the box for the electrical wiring (junction box), I need the lamp housing itself to put our own lighting into it. But thanks anyway

My suggestion would be to find a complete fixture that is to your liking, then contact the manufacturer to see if "spare parts" can be ordered. Then order the pieces you need.

You will find this very interesting, scroll down as you read and the terminology you seek will become apparent along with a guide of uses.

you can try "luminaire"

that's the terminology that is used for roadway lighting to denote the fixture (housing, reflector, refractor, etc.)

We have about 50 different types of outdoor security light housings (check out www.rabweb.com under "Wallpacks", "Floodlights" and "Area Lights"). If you describe what you need, perhaps we can give you what you want.
