What are LED Wraparound Lights?
LED wraparound lights are low-profile linear fixtures designed to mount directly to ceilings or walls, providing wide, even illumination without the need for a drop ceiling grid. These fixtures get their name from the design of the lens, which "wraps around" the sides of the fixture body to maximize light distribution.
Commonly used in offices, hallways, schools, utility rooms, and light industrial spaces, LED wrap lights are an energy-efficient replacement for traditional fluorescent strip fixtures. Their simple design, ease of installation, and broad light output make them an ideal choice for both new construction and retrofit projects where clean, functional lighting is needed.

Types of LED Wraparound Lights
LED wrap lights are available in several configurations to meet the needs of different commercial and industrial spaces. The right type of fixture depends on the environment, lighting requirements, and installation preferences.
Standard LED Wraparound Lights
These are the most common style, featuring a wraparound acrylic diffuser that provides bright, uniform light. Ideal for offices, hallways, storage rooms, and utility areas.
Vapor-Tight or Sealed Wrap Lights
Designed for wet or dusty environments, vapor-tight LED wraps feature a gasketed, sealed enclosure to protect against moisture, dirt, and debris. Great for utility rooms, parking garages, and light industrial spaces.
Dimmable LED Wrap Lights
Some LED wraps come with 0-10V dimming capabilities, allowing users to adjust brightness levels for energy savings, ambiance control, or task-specific lighting.
Wattage and CCT Selectable Wrap Lights
Select models allow adjustment of wattage (brightness) and color temperature (warm to cool white) at the fixture, giving more flexibility during installation or future changes.
Emergency Backup Compatible Wrap Lights
Certain wrap fixtures are compatible with emergency backup drivers, ensuring continued illumination during power outages for safety and code compliance.
LED Wrap Light Sizes
LED wraparound lights come in a few standard sizes, allowing you to match the fixture dimensions to your space and lighting needs. Choosing the right size ensures even coverage and an efficient layout for your commercial or industrial environment.
2-Foot LED Wrap Lights
Compact and space-saving, 2-foot wrap lights are ideal for small offices, utility rooms, closets, and tight corridors. They offer excellent illumination where longer fixtures would be impractical.
4-Foot LED Wrap Lights
The most popular and widely used size, 4-foot LED wrap lights provide broad, uniform coverage for offices, classrooms, hallways, retail spaces, and general commercial areas. They are a direct replacement for traditional 4-foot fluorescent fixtures.
8-Foot LED Wrap Lights
Designed for large, open areas, 8-foot wrap lights are commonly used in warehouses, long corridors, big box retail stores, and industrial spaces. They deliver wide light distribution with fewer fixture interruptions along the ceiling.
LED Wraparound Light Applications
LED wrap lights are highly versatile fixtures, designed for both commercial and light industrial environments. Their even illumination, low-profile design, and energy efficiency make them a smart choice for a wide range of applications.
Commercial Offices: LED wraparound lights deliver bright, comfortable lighting for open offices, hallways, meeting rooms, and break areas, promoting productivity and a clean, modern look.
Schools and Educational Facilities: Wrap lights are ideal for classrooms, hallways, libraries, and administrative offices, offering even light distribution that supports a focused learning environment.
Retail Stores: In grocery stores, convenience shops, and retail spaces, LED wrap lights help showcase merchandise clearly while maintaining energy-efficient operations.
Warehouses and Storage Areas: For small warehouses, inventory rooms, and supply areas, wrap lights provide consistent, reliable illumination needed for safety and visibility.
Healthcare Facilities: In clinics, medical offices, and healthcare labs, wrap lights offer shadow-free lighting critical for safe work and clear visibility.
Utility Rooms and Mechanical Areas: LED wraparound fixtures are perfect for utility rooms, electrical rooms, and mechanical spaces where durable, low-maintenance lighting is essential.
Garages and Workshops: Wrap lights are a popular choice for both residential and commercial garages, providing strong, even light for vehicle maintenance and workshop tasks.
LED Wrap Light Accessories
We offer a variety of accessories to maximize the performance, flexibility, and installation options of our LED wraparound lights. These accessories help tailor your lighting solution to fit different environments and project requirements.
Surface Mount Kits
Surface mount kits make it easy to securely install LED wrap lights onto drywall or hard ceilings, especially in spaces without a suspended ceiling grid.
Emergency Backup Drivers
Add an emergency backup driver to ensure your LED wrap lights stay illuminated during power outages. These battery systems help meet commercial building safety codes.
Dimming Controls
Compatible 0-10V dimmer switches allow for adjustable brightness, giving users more control over energy savings and lighting comfort throughout the day.
Occupancy and Motion Sensors
Motion and occupancy sensors can automate your lighting system, turning lights on when movement is detected and off after inactivity, maximizing energy savings.
Wire Guards
Wire guards protect the lens and housing of your LED wrap lights, ideal for garages, warehouses, gymnasiums, and other environments where impacts could occur.
Remote Controls
For tunable wrap lights, remote controls allow easy adjustment of brightness and, in some cases, color temperature without needing direct switch access.
Color Tuning Controllers
Where available, color tuning controls allow adjustment of color temperature (warm, neutral, or cool white) to customize the light based on time of day or workspace needs.
Why Upgrade to LED Wraparound Lights?
Upgrading outdated fluorescent wrap fixtures to LED wraparound lights delivers substantial benefits for commercial, retail, and industrial spaces. LED wrap lights offer higher energy efficiency, longer lifespans, and superior light quality, making them a smart investment for both new construction and retrofit projects.
LED wraparound fixtures provide energy savings of up to 50–70% compared to traditional fluorescent models, while also reducing maintenance costs thanks to longer operational life—often 50,000 to 100,000 hours. Their full, even light distribution makes them ideal for areas where both aesthetics and visibility are important, such as offices, schools, garages, and utility rooms.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, widespread adoption of LED lighting across commercial applications could cut lighting energy use in the U.S. by nearly 50%. Upgrading to LED wrap lights is a fast, cost-effective step toward reducing operating expenses, meeting energy codes, and creating a more comfortable indoor environment.
