Put up a light for position testing on the front of the shop.
It’s bright. I like.

Personally, I'd prefer something that directed all of the light downward (below horizontal). Maybe it's actually like that and the photo just makes it look like direct glare, but I know there are a lot of wall packs that shine light outward and upward too, which is annoying and wasteful.

Need more info on the light not just a photo.

I'm thinking maybe the light should be mounted a bit higher on the gable. :headscrat


The picture is of a light from Atlas, which is a standard contractor-grade product. You can find lower quality brands on the internet.
The point of the picture was to show you that the light is more useful when most of it is pointed down and slightly forward.
A traditional wall pack, like the one pictured on your garage will blind you at night when you are pulling in to the garage. That's not a good application for a traditional wall pack.

I agree it needs to be pointed downward. I did two above my garage doors and they still light outward very well. 4000lumen each. The one in the middle is a ring camera, with 2400 lumen motion lights.
