The RAB Lighting A22-150/200HSB is a house-side shield accessory engineered for RAB A22 area light fixtures in 150W and 200W configurations. This directional control component mounts directly to compatible area lights to block backlight emission, effectively reducing light trespass and glare on adjacent properties, residential areas, and sensitive boundaries while maintaining full forward illumination across the primary coverage zone.
The shield requires no modifications to the base fixture and does not alter wattage, voltage requirements, or electrical specifications. Its black powder-coated finish coordinates with standard RAB A22 mounting hardware and housing colors. Installation is straightforward on compatible fixture models, with no additional wiring or controls needed. The accessory functions independently of dimming systems or photocell controls that may be present on the host fixture.
This accessory is particularly valuable for commercial properties, industrial sites, and municipal installations where directional lighting control is required by code or design. Typical applications include perimeter lighting at manufacturing facilities, warehouse entrances, parking lot boundaries adjacent to residential zones, and building-mounted area light installations where backward spill must be minimized. Property managers and lighting specifiers use house-side shields to achieve compliance with dark-sky ordinances and local light pollution regulations while maintaining adequate task lighting in primary work areas.
Verify fixture model compatibility and mounting orientation before purchase. The shield is compatible exclusively with specified RAB A22 150W and 200W area light fixtures and may not fit other series or wattage configurations.
