The RAB Lighting A22-70/100HSW house-side shield is a precision backlight control accessory engineered for 70W and 100W A22 LED area lights. This fixture-mounted shield eliminates unwanted light spillage directed toward building facades, property lines, and adjacent residential areas—a critical requirement for compliant outdoor lighting in mixed-use and boundary-sensitive commercial environments.
The shield mounts directly to compatible A22 configurations without affecting fixture wattage, electrical draw, or performance specifications. Its white finish matches standard A22 mounting hardware and housing, maintaining visual consistency across your lighting installation. The shield's design preserves the fixture's forward and side light distribution while effectively blocking rearward illumination, making it particularly valuable for perimeter lighting applications where directional control prevents light trespass and glare complaints.
This accessory is essential for commercial properties, industrial facilities, parking areas, and loading zones positioned near residential boundaries or sensitive land uses. Facility managers and lighting specifiers regularly specify house-side shields to achieve code compliance with dark-sky ordinances, reduce neighbor relations issues, and optimize fixture performance in space-constrained or proximity-sensitive installations. Verify A22 fixture compatibility and shield dimensions before ordering to ensure proper fit and performance.
