WAC Lighting WAC-WS-W5318 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the WAC Tao WS-W5318 wall sconce mount to an existing pancake junction box?
Yes. The 18 inch Tao LED sconce runs on 120V AC LED technology with no separate driver or transformer, so it fits on a pancake junction box. The backplate is 6.5 inches long, so make sure the box and any existing mounting holes sit within that footprint.
2) Is the Tao WS-W5318 LED sconce rated for a wet location like an exposed entry wall?
It is wet location listed and IP65 rated, with ETL and cETL listings, so direct rain exposure on an open entry wall or facade is fine. It is also listed for indoor use, so the same fixture can carry over to a lobby or corridor.
3) What dimmer works with the WAC Tao 18 inch LED sconce?
Use an electronic low voltage (ELV) dimmer. The Tao's integrated LED dims smoothly and continuously on ELV control. A standard incandescent or forward-phase dimmer is not the specified control for it.
4) Does the Tao WS-W5318 sconce meet ADA projection requirements for a corridor or egress path?
It is listed as ADA compliant, which matters where the fixture sits in a circulation path or along an exterior walkway. It is also Title 24 and Title 20 compliant for California projects.
5) How big is the 18 inch Tao sconce on the wall, and will it work between narrow window trim?
The fixture measures 18 inches in height by 6 inches in width, on a 6.5 inch backplate. That 6 inch width is the number to check against pilaster or trim clearances; the 18 inch dimension runs vertically up the wall.
6) Can I get the Tao WS-W5318 in 277V for a commercial building?
Standard production is 120V. 277V and 240V versions, along with custom color temperature, are special order options from WAC rather than stock configurations. The stock fixture ships 3000K in bronze.
7) How much light does the 18 inch Tao sconce actually put out, and is one enough for an entry?
1218 lumens from a 15W integrated LED at 3000K, with a flood beam spread. Output is split up and down, so it washes the wall and throws downlight onto the walkway below. For a wide entry drive or a long facade run, plan on multiple fixtures spaced along the wall rather than one.
8) Do I need to order lamps separately for the WAC Tao outdoor sconce?
No lamping to buy. It's a single integrated LED, included, rated for an average 80,000 hours. There is no socket, so the LED is not field replaceable; at end of life the fixture is replaced.
9) I need to match sconces across several buildings. What finish and color temperature does the Tao WS-W5318 come in?
One configuration: bronze finish, 3000K warm white. That keeps a multi-building spec simple since there is no finish or CCT choice to track per order. The Tao collection also comes in a second, shorter size if you need a smaller fixture at secondary doors with the same look.
10) Is the WAC Tao sconce housing going to hold up on a coastal or high-exposure wall?
The housing is gravity cast aluminum with a weather resistant powder finish, in bronze. Cast aluminum plus the IP65 seal is what carries the wet location listing. The glass is a patterned crystal insert that throws an optical pattern rather than a plain diffused wash.
11) Is the Tao LED wall light hardwired or does it plug in?
Hardwired only, 120V. There is no cord or plug, so an electrician makes up the connection at the junction box behind the 6.5 inch backplate.
12) Is the WAC Tao WS-W5318 Energy Star certified?
No, the Tao sconce is not Energy Star listed. For California energy code work it does carry Title 24 and Title 20 compliance, which is usually what gets asked for on residential and commercial permit sets there.
