The CSC LED Type 2 Optics accessory is engineered using advanced LED optical lens technology to precisely control beam distribution from compatible WPX wall pack fixtures. Unlike generic diffusers or shields, a Type 2 optical pattern produces a defined asymmetric forward-throw distribution, ideal for illuminating rectangular areas such as walkways, building perimeters, and residential pathways. This controlled pattern maximizes useful light on the ground plane while significantly reducing light trespass and uplight waste.
The optics are manufactured from high-grade, UV-stabilized materials designed to withstand prolonged outdoor exposure without yellowing, hazing, or degrading in performance. Because the lens works in conjunction with the wall pack's existing LED array and efficient LED driver, there is no additional power consumption — you get improved light distribution with zero increase in energy use. This makes it an excellent complement to any homeowner's energy-saving outdoor lighting strategy.
Compatible WPX wall pack fixtures carry full cUL/CSA certification and meet rigorous Canadian electrical safety standards, and this accessory is designed to maintain those certifications when properly installed. The wall pack series is also IP-rated for wet locations, ensuring reliable performance through rain, snow, ice, and humidity — critical for year-round Canadian outdoor use. Additionally, the fixtures supported by this optic are DLC listed, which may qualify homeowners for applicable utility rebate programs in many Canadian provinces.
Installation is straightforward and requires no special tools or electrical expertise beyond what's needed for the base fixture. The optics module is designed to integrate seamlessly with the WPX housing, snapping or fastening securely into place. For homeowners upgrading from older traditional HID or halogen wall packs, pairing a modern LED wall pack with Type 2 optics delivers dramatically improved efficiency, longer operational life, and superior light quality — all while reducing your household's overall energy footprint.
