A wall mounted area light is designed to illuminate a geometric area that is between buildings or adjacent to a building. It is installed to provide a clear view of an area from a distance, enable drivers to clearly see pedestrians and navigate various barriers and obstacles (particularly in the visual periphery), address pedestrians’ visual and perceptual tasks such as detection and identification of tripping hazards and evaluation of personal safety. Wall mounted area lights are also used to serve security lighting which removes potential hiding spaces adjacent to residential or commercial properties, deters criminal activities against persons or property, and facilitates the proper use of other security devices (e.g., security cameras) available on the property. This type of ambient lighting systems is intended to provide comfortable visibility of activity areas in the vicinity of garage doors, parking areas, loading docks, entrances, porches, patios, walkways, driveways, back yards and more.
