Product: Reversible House Side Shield for Fixtures Up to 150W - Black

The RAB Lighting A17-RHS-S/B reversible house-side shield is an accessory designed to reduce uplight and backlight from area light fixtures up to 150W. This shield mounts directly to compatible RAB area lights and provides directional light control without altering the fixture's electrical specifications or lumen output. The reversible design allows flexible installation orientation to match your specific site conditions and shielding requirements.

House-side shields are essential for controlling light trespass and managing spill light in installations where fixture placement is near property boundaries, residential areas, or light-sensitive locations. By blocking unwanted backlight and uplight, the shield helps maintain consistent illumination on the intended target area while minimizing off-site light distribution. The black finish integrates seamlessly with standard RAB area light configurations.

This accessory is particularly valuable in parking areas, perimeter lighting, commercial properties, and industrial facilities where light pollution control or neighbor considerations matter. Facility managers and lighting designers use house-side shields to meet local lighting ordinances, reduce environmental impact, and improve lighting efficiency by directing available light to where it's needed. The shield is passive and requires no electrical modifications or ongoing maintenance.

Confirm that your area light fixture model and wattage are compatible with the A17-RHS-S/B before ordering. Installation is straightforward and can be performed during fixture installation or retrofitted to existing compatible units. No tools beyond basic hardware installation are required.
