The RAB Lighting A22-150/200HSW house-side shield is a directional light control accessory engineered for RAB A22 150W and 200W LED area lights. This shield mounts directly to compatible fixtures and redirects backlight away from the fixture rear, effectively reducing uplight and light spill toward adjacent properties, residential areas, and sensitive boundaries. House-side shields are essential for compliance with outdoor lighting ordinances, dark-sky initiatives, and neighborhood light trespass regulations in commercial, industrial, and multi-tenant properties where fixture placement near property lines creates potential neighbor impact.
The shield installs without modification to the fixture's electrical performance, wattage, or control capabilities. The white finish coordinates with standard A22 configurations, maintaining visual consistency across the lighting installation. The accessory mounts securely using the fixture's existing mounting hardware, requiring no additional electrical work or reconfiguration. Installation is straightforward for qualified electricians and facility maintenance teams familiar with RAB area light systems.
House-side shields are commonly specified for parking lot perimeters, building facade lighting, yard and grounds illumination, and outdoor area applications where neighboring properties or residential zones require light containment. The shield preserves the fixture's forward and downward illumination while containing rearward light scatter, making it ideal for properties with tight setbacks, shared parking facilities, industrial campuses, and commercial developments subject to local lighting codes or homeowner association restrictions.
Verify fixture model compatibility—this shield is designed specifically for A22 150W and A22 200W configurations—before ordering. The accessory does not affect dimming capability, photocell operation, or any integrated lighting controls on the base fixture.
