RAB Lighting’s Slim17 Wall Pack Packs Power With Field‑Adjustable CCT Flexibility

RAB Lighting’s Slim17 is built around a simple idea: Give installers the options they need at a price point that works for everyday projects. The fixture delivers up to 3,813 lumens in the 30W version and 1,904 lumens in the 15W version, making it suitable for building perimeters, walkways and general security lighting.

Its slim profile and full‑cutoff design help reduce uplight and glare, supporting increasingly popular Dark Sky-friendly initiatives when mounted at the 0° setting. The fixture’s adjustable cutoff—ranging from full cutoff to 90° in 15° increments—gives installers control over light distribution, ensuring illumination goes exactly where it’s needed.

What the Slim17 Brings

One of the Slim17’s standout features is its field‑adjustable color temperature switch. Located inside the fixture, the selector allows users to choose between 3000K, 4000K and 5000K, accommodating a range of project requirements from warm architectural accents to crisp security lighting. This adjustability reduces the need to stock multiple SKUs and helps contractors adapt quickly to client preferences or changing site conditions.

Every Slim17 model also includes an integrated dusk‑to‑dawn photocell, which enables automatic on/off operation. This built‑in control supports energy efficiency and reduces the need for external sensors or additional wiring.

RAB rates this product for 100,000 hours of operation, supported by independent LM‑79 and LM‑80 testing. Higher‑output versions, such as the 40W Slim17FAFC40, deliver more than 5,600 lumens while maintaining similar adjustability and full‑cutoff performance.

This wall pack is well‑suited for:

  • Commercial building exteriors
  • Warehouses and industrial facilities
  • Schools and municipal buildings
  • Walkways and loading areas

Its combination of adjustability, integrated controls and compact form makes it a strong fit for both retrofits and new construction.

Why It Matters

As the lighting market continues to emphasize flexibility and ease of installation, products like the Slim17 reflect a broader shift toward contractor‑optimized design. Field‑adjustable features reduce guesswork, while integrated controls and high efficacy support long‑term energy savings.

In addition, the product line can be used in communities that have implemented building codes centered around curbing light pollution, making it a more versatile product than many other options.
