WAC Lighting WAC-PD-72718 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the WAC Vida PD-72718 pendant be installed on a covered porch or patio?
Yes, within limits. The Vida PD-72718 carries a damp location rating and an IP44 rating, so it is suitable for covered outdoor spots like a porch ceiling, soffit, or breezeway where it won't take direct rain. It is not a wet location fixture, so skip open, exposed overhangs. Indoors it's unrestricted.
2) What dimmer works with the WAC Vida LED pendant?
Use an electronic low voltage (ELV) dimmer or a 0-10V control. The driver is not compatible with standard incandescent or MLV wall dimmers, so if the existing switch leg is a plain forward-phase dimmer it needs to be swapped out. With the right control the 2450 lumen output dims smoothly and continuously.
3) Does the PD-72718 need a separate driver or transformer in the ceiling?
No. The universal voltage driver is built into the canopy, and it accepts 120V, 240V, or 277V, so the same fixture works on a residential 120V circuit or a commercial 277V lighting branch without ordering a voltage-specific version or finding space for a remote driver.
4) Does the Vida PD-72718 meet California Title 24?
Yes. The Vida pendant is listed as Title 24 compliant and Title 20 compliant, which is what a California spec job or multi-family project will ask for. It is ETL and cETL listed for the US and Canada. It is not Energy Star rated.
5) What size canopy does the Vida pendant cover on the ceiling, and how big is the shade?
The ceiling canopy measures 8.44 inches across, which is what you have to work with for covering an existing outlet box or patched drywall. The spun aluminum shade itself is 17.5 inches in diameter and 9.19 inches tall. It's a hardwired ceiling mount, so an accessible junction box is required.
6) Can the LED be replaced in the WAC Vida pendant when it burns out?
No, the LED array is integrated, so there is no socket and no lamp to relamp. It is rated for an average 82,000 hours at 33.5W, which is why WAC sells it as maintenance-free. For a fleet of units, plan on fixture replacement rather than lamp stock.
7) What finishes and color temperature does the 17.5 inch Vida pendant come in?
Three finishes: brushed aluminum (PD-72718-AL), black (PD-72718-BK), and white (PD-72718-WT). All three are 3000K warm white only, so if you're mixing these with other fixtures in the same room, match to a 3000K scheme. The shade interior uses a white polycarbonate diffuser for even spread.
8) Is the Vida pendant bright enough to be the main light over a kitchen island?
One unit puts out 2450 lumens at 3000K with a flood distribution through a white polycarbonate diffuser, so it reads as general downlight rather than a tight spot. Over a standard island, two or three spaced along the run is the usual approach; a single 17.5 inch unit covers a dinette or a small table on its own.
9) Is the Vida PD-72718 suspended on a rod or a cable?
Cable suspension. WAC uses an electrified cable that carries the power, so there is no separate visible power wire running alongside the support. Cable means the pendant hangs plumb and needs a level ceiling plane; it is not a rigid stem fixture and will not hold an angle on a sloped ceiling without the appropriate sloped canopy approach.
10) Is the WAC Vida pendant metal or plastic?
The shade body is spun aluminum, so it's a solid metal fixture. The only polymer part is the white polycarbonate diffuser across the bottom opening that softens the LED array. That matters for commercial lobbies and corridors where a plastic shade would yellow or scratch.
