WAC Lighting 13" Elementum LED Wall Sconce

No. Only the 22 inch and 30 inch Elementum sconces are approved for vertical or horizontal mounting. The 13 inch is mounted vertically, typically flanking the mirror on either side. If you want a fixture running horizontally over the mirror, step up to the 22 or 30 inch length.

No. It runs on 120V AC LED technology with the electronics onboard, so there is no remote driver or transformer to find a home for. It lands on a standard pancake junction box, which matters because the backplate is only 4.5 inches. 277V, 240V, or custom color temperature builds are special order.

It is an ELV fixture, so it needs an electronic low voltage dimmer for the smooth continuous dimming it is built for. A standard incandescent or TRIAC forward-phase dimmer is the usual cause of flicker or drop-out on this one. Spec the ELV dimmer on the job before rough-in.

It is listed as ADA compliant, which is what matters for a wall fixture in a public corridor or restroom. The body measures 13.5 inches high by 4.5 inches wide with a 4.5 inch backplate. For institutional and multi-family work it also carries Title 20 and Title 24 compliance, which California projects will ask for.

Two finishes, Brushed Nickel and Chrome, each in three color temperatures: 2700K, 3000K, and 3500K. The part number tells you which is which. WS-7213-BN and WS-7213-CH are the 2700K builds with no temperature digits in the number; 3000K adds -30 (WS-7213-30-BN, WS-7213-30-CH) and 3500K adds -35 (WS-7213-35-BN, WS-7213-35-CH). Pick one temperature across a whole bathroom or a whole floor of units so the light matches from door to door.

Each fixture puts out 1118 lumens from 13 watts, with a flood beam spread through opal mouth blown glass for diffuse, even light. For a single-sink vanity the usual approach is a pair mounted vertically on both sides of the mirror, which cancels the shadows under the eyes and chin that a single overhead source creates. One fixture beside a small mirror or in a powder room works on its own.

The LED is integrated, not a socketed lamp, so there is no bulb to change. It is rated at 80,000 average hours. For MRO and hospitality buyers that means no relamping cycle on these fixtures, but it also means a failed board is a fixture replacement rather than a lamp swap. Nothing separate to buy at install, the light source ships in the fixture.

Solid aluminum body with an opal mouth blown glass diffuser, finished in brushed nickel or chrome. The aluminum housing plus the IP65 and wet rating is why it tolerates the steam and cleaning chemicals of a commercial bath better than a painted steel fixture with a plastic lens.

No, it is not an Energy Star listed fixture. It does carry Title 20 and Title 24 compliance, which is the requirement that comes up on California residential and commercial permits. If your rebate program specifically requires Energy Star, this fixture will not qualify for it.
