WAC Lighting R2FBR2T-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the WAC Lighting R2FBR2T-1 2 inch housing be installed in a ceiling that already has insulation against it?
Yes. The R2FBR2T-1 is an IC-rated remodel housing, so it can sit in direct contact with ceiling insulation. It is the remodel version, meaning it goes in through a cut opening in an existing finished ceiling rather than being nailed to joists before drywall.
2) Is the WAC FQ 2in recessed housing OK for a bathroom or a covered exterior soffit?
No. The FQ 2in remodel housing carries a Dry location rating only, with ETL and cETL listings. Keep it in dry interior ceilings. For a shower, a vented bath ceiling, or any covered outdoor soffit you need a housing rated wet or at minimum damp.
3) What voltage can I feed the WAC FQ 2 inch recessed housing, and will it run on 277V commercial power?
It accepts 120, 240, or 277 volts, so it drops into a 277V commercial lighting circuit as readily as a 120V residential one. Total wattage is 15W. That multi-voltage input is useful when you are standardizing one housing across a building that has both panel types.
4) What dimmer will work with the WAC FQ 2in recessed housing?
Three control types are supported: 0-10V, ELV, and TRIAC. So you can pair it with a standard forward-phase TRIAC wall dimmer on a residential retrofit, or wire it to a 0-10V control system in a commercial space. Match the dimmer to the protocol you are actually running, since the housing accepts all three but a given circuit should use one.
5) Does the WAC R2FBR2T-1 housing come with the light engine and trim, or do I order those separately?
The housing is just the housing. No bulbs or lamps are included, and the FQ collection offers a separate line of round and square, trimmed and trimless luminaires that mount into it. Budget for the housing plus the matching FQ trim and light module to complete a fixture.
6) Is this a plug-in can or does it need to be hardwired by an electrician?
Hardwired. The WAC FQ 2in remodel housing is a permanent, wired-in installation, not a plug-in or portable fixture, so it needs a branch circuit landed at the housing.
7) Can the FQ 2 inch housing aim light at a wall, or does it only point straight down?
It adjusts. The FQ recessed design gives 35 degrees of vertical tilt and a full 360 degrees of horizontal rotation, with 30 degrees of shielding to keep the source out of sightlines. That combination is what lets a row of these wash a wall evenly from floor to ceiling rather than just downlighting the floor.
8) Should I use a remodel housing or a new construction housing for my 2 inch recessed job?
Go remodel, like the R2FBR2T-1, when the ceiling is already finished and you are cutting a hole and clipping the housing to the drywall from below. Choose a new construction housing when the ceiling is open and you can bar-hang it off the joists before the rock goes up. Both end up looking the same from the room; the difference is entirely how it mounts and when in the schedule it gets installed.
9) Is the WAC FQ remodel housing sturdy enough for a commercial ceiling, and what is it made of?
The body is 20 gauge galvanized steel, which is why it holds its shape during a remodel install where you are working it up through a cut ceiling opening. The galvanizing resists corrosion in interior plenum conditions.
10) Is the WAC FQ 2in housing Energy Star certified for a rebate program?
No, it does not carry Energy Star certification. It is ETL and cETL listed for safety, and rated for dry locations, but if your utility rebate or spec requires Energy Star you will need a different product.
