WAC Lighting WAC-WS-W17222 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the WAC Amherst WS-W17222 wall light be mounted on an existing pancake junction box?
Yes. The Amherst 22 inch lantern uses AC LED technology with no separate driver or transformer, so it mounts directly to a pancake junction box. The backplate measures 9.25 inches, so make sure that much flat wall surface is available around the box. It is hardwired, 120V.
2) Is the Amherst WS-W17222 lantern rated for a wall exposed directly to rain?
It is wet location listed and carries an IP65 rating, so direct rain exposure on an open exterior wall is fine. ETL and cETL listed for both the US and Canada, and it can be used indoors as well.
3) Can this 22 inch Amherst lantern be installed hanging down from the arm, or does it only mount pointing up?
Either way. The mounting method is listed as wall, up or down, so the same fixture works as an upward lantern or inverted below the backplate. The glass panels are clear seeded with an open bottom, which also means relamping access and bug cleanout from underneath when mounted downward.
4) Does the Amherst LED lantern meet California Title 24 for exterior residential lighting?
Yes, the Amherst is Title 24 compliant and Title 20 listed, and it is Dark Sky rated for the downlight-only distribution many jurisdictions require on exterior walls. It is not Energy Star certified.
5) What dimmer works with the WAC Amherst LED wall sconce?
Use an electronic low voltage (ELV) or TRIAC dimmer. Because the LED runs on AC LED driverless technology at 120V, a standard incandescent-only dimmer is not the right control; specify ELV or TRIAC on the job.
6) Do I need to buy bulbs for the WS-W17222, and what happens when the LED fails?
No bulbs to buy. It is a single integrated LED light source, included, with the driver electronics built in rather than a screw base. Rated life is 50,000 hours, and the LED is not field-replaceable like a lamp, so plan on fixture replacement at end of life.
7) How much power does this outdoor lantern draw per fixture for circuit load calculations?
20.4W at 120V per fixture. For a run of exterior wall lanterns on one 15A/120V circuit that is a very light load, which is useful when you are adding sconces to an existing exterior branch circuit rather than pulling a new one.
8) Which size Amherst should I use, and how big is the 22 inch version on the wall?
The WS-W17222 is the largest of the three Amherst sizes, which come in 14, 18 and 22 inch heights. This one stands 22 inches tall and 6.5 inches wide with a 9.25 inch backplate, so it suits tall entries, garage-flanking positions and commercial or hospitality facades. For narrower wall space between a door and a window, step down to the 14 or 18 inch version. There is also a matching lantern pendant in the collection for porch ceilings.
9) What color light does the Amherst put out, and will it match warm white fixtures already on the building?
3000K soft white with a 90 CRI, a flood distribution aimed downward. 3000K reads warm white, so it sits alongside existing 3000K exterior fixtures cleanly but will look noticeably cooler next to 2700K lamps.
10) What finish and materials does the WS-W17222 come in for a coastal or high-traffic exterior?
One configuration: matte black, ordered as WS-W17222-BK, with 3000K output. The housing is aluminum and the panels are clear seeded glass, with the bottom left open.
