WAC Lighting 26" Fiction LED Indoor and Outdoor Wall Light WS-W11926

Yes. The 26-inch Fiction LED sconce is rated for wet locations and carries an IP65 rating along with ETL and cETL listings, so it can go on an exposed exterior wall that takes direct rain. It is also approved for indoor use, so the same fixture can be used in a covered entry or interior stairwell to keep one part number across a project.

The driver is built into the fixture and accepts universal input, 120V, 240V or 277V. That means the same sconce works on a 120V residential circuit or a 277V commercial lighting branch with no external driver or transformer to mount. It is a hardwired fixture, so it needs a junction box and a licensed connection, not a cord and plug.

Only on an electronic low voltage (ELV) dimmer. The Fiction LED sconce dims smoothly and continuously on ELV control; a standard incandescent/forward-phase (TRIAC) or 0-10V dimmer is not the specified control type for it. If the opening currently has a legacy incandescent dimmer, plan on swapping that device out as part of the job.

Yes on all three counts: the Fiction sconce is listed ADA compliant, Title 20 compliant, and Title 24 compliant. That makes it usable in a corridor or egress path where projection limits apply and on California projects where JA8 energy code documentation is required. It is not Energy Star qualified, so don't specify it where an Energy Star label is the requirement.

It delivers 1,415 lumens from a 20W integrated LED at 3000K, with a flood distribution. That is roughly the output of a 100W incandescent at a fifth of the load, washing the wall up and down rather than throwing a tight beam, which suits entries, corridors, and garage or patio walls. The LED is rated for 50,000 hours, so lamp replacement is not part of the maintenance cycle.

The fixture measures 26 inches in height by 7 inches wide, with a 7-inch backplate length. The backplate is small relative to the overall fixture, so it covers a standard single-gang or round outdoor box but will not conceal a large patched or oversized opening in the wall. Verify your existing box falls within that 7-inch footprint before demo.

It is a front-lit fixture: an etched acrylic panel glows across its face, and the mounting method is wall with up/down orientation, so the 26-inch body can be installed vertically either direction. Because the light comes off the panel face rather than open ends, it does not produce the hard up-and-down wall-grazing beams of a two-ended cylinder sconce. If you want distinct up/down beams on the wall, a cylinder or bi-directional sconce is the better choice.

As ordered it is 3000K warm white. WAC lists custom CCT options for the Fiction as a special order, so a different color temperature is not a stock configuration you can simply pick. If your spec locks a CCT other than 3000K, that has to be handled as a special-order request rather than a standard option.

The body is aluminum with a white acrylic diffuser, finished in black. Aluminum will not rust the way a steel housing does, and the acrylic lens resists impact better than glass, which matters on multifamily walkways and garage walls where fixtures get hit. The one black finish is the only option offered, so matching across a building is straightforward.

No. The LED is integrated and supplied with the fixture, one light source, so there is nothing to lamp at install and no socket to stock replacements for. At 50,000 rated hours the trade-off is that the fixture is replaced as a unit at end of life rather than relamped.
