WAC Lighting WAC-WL-LED202 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the photocell on the WAC WL-LED202 step light actually do, and can I still put it on a switch?
The photocell is a daylight sensor that turns the step light on at dusk and off at dawn on its own, so a stairwell or walkway path stays lit overnight without anyone touching a switch. That is the difference between the WL-LED202 and the non-sensor versions of the same 120V step light family. It is a hardwired 120V fixture, so it still needs a supply circuit; the sensor just decides when the light is on. If you want dimming instead of automatic operation, this one dims on an ELV dimmer.
2) Can the WAC LEDme 120V step light be installed outdoors and in a wet location?
Yes, it is rated for wet locations and carries UL, cUL and an IP66 rating, so direct rain and high pressure water jets are covered. Two cautions on finish: brushed nickel is for interior use only, and for coastal or marine air you want the stainless steel version rather than the painted aluminum. The body is cast K-alloy aluminum with a frosted glass lens.
3) Does the WAC WL-LED202 photocell step light meet ADA and California Title 24?
ADA compliant and Title 24 compliant, both stated by the manufacturer, and it is a Dark Sky fixture. That combination is what gets it through a plan check on a multi-family corridor or an exterior stair in California. It draws 3.8W at 120V with an integrated LED rated for 54,000 average hours.
4) What color temperatures and finishes do I have to specify when ordering the WL-LED202 step light?
Two choices decide the part number. Color temperature is either 3000K warm white or amber, and finish is black, bronze, white, brushed nickel, or stainless steel. That builds out to ten orderable combinations, for example WL-LED202-30-BZ for 3000K bronze or WL-LED202-AM-SS for amber stainless. Amber is the turtle friendly option for coastal jurisdictions with sea turtle lighting ordinances. Brushed nickel is interior only.
5) If I order the 3000K version of this WAC step light, can I change the light color later without replacing the fixture?
Yes. Each WL-LED202 ships with interchangeable lenses in clear, amber, red and blue, plus a replaceable LED. So a property manager who needs amber on the ocean-facing stairs and standard white elsewhere can stock one fixture and swap the lens on site rather than carrying separate SKUs. The base source is a single integrated LED with the bulb included.
6) How much light does a 3 inch WAC LEDme step light put out, and is it enough for an exterior stair?
Output is 100 lumens from a 3.8W integrated LED behind a frosted glass lens. That is deliberately low: a step light is a path marker, meant to wash the tread and the wall below knee height without glare in someone's eyes on the way down. For a full stair run you space several fixtures rather than relying on one. If you need to light the whole area, this is the wrong fixture type and you want a wall pack or a bollard instead.
7) Can the WAC WL-LED202 be mounted with the light throw in either direction?
Yes, it is a reversible mount, so you can orient the fixture to aim the wash down onto the tread or up the wall depending on how the J-box sits in the framing. Useful when the boxes are already roughed in and you cannot move them. It is a vertical format housing, 3 in wide by 5 in high, 1.5 in deep.
8) What dimmer works with the WAC 120V LEDme step light?
Use an ELV (electronic low voltage) dimmer. That is the stated control type for the 120V WL-LED202, and pairing it with a standard incandescent or TRIAC-only dimmer is the usual cause of flicker or a dead bottom end on LED step lights. Bear in mind the photocell already handles dusk to dawn switching, so dimming is about setting an overnight level, not about turning it on.
9) Should I use a 120V step light or a low voltage landscape step light for an exterior stair?
The WL-LED202 is a line voltage fixture: it runs on 120V, hardwired to a standard J-box, so it ties into building power the same way a receptacle does and needs no transformer. That suits stairs, corridors and entry walls attached to a structure where a box is already roughed in or easy to add. Low voltage landscape step lights are the better call when you are running out into planting beds or hardscape off a transformer and do not want line voltage in the ground. On a building, line voltage saves you the transformer and the run calculations.
10) Which finish of the WAC step light holds up on an oceanfront building?
Stainless steel, ordered as WL-LED202-30-SS or WL-LED202-AM-SS. WAC specifically recommends the stainless option for coastal or marine environments where salt air attacks painted castings. The standard body is cast K-alloy aluminum, which is fine inland. Do not put brushed nickel outside at all, it is an interior finish.
