WAC Lighting WAC-FM-73142 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the WAC Parallax FM-73142 flush mount be installed over a standard junction box, or does it need a pancake box?
Either works. The 42-inch Parallax flush mount conceals its 120V AC LED driver inside the canopy, so it mounts over a standard or pancake junction box with no remote driver location to find. The backplate measures 6 inches, so the canopy covers a typical round box opening. It is a hardwired fixture, not a plug-in.
2) How do I set the color temperature on the Parallax 3-CCT flush mount, and can it be changed after install?
There is a Tri-CCT switch inside the canopy that toggles between 2700K warm, 3000K warm white, and 3500K white. It is reachable while the canopy is off the ceiling during installation, and the fixture ships factory pre-set to 3000K. Because the switch sits behind the canopy, changing it later means pulling the fixture down again, so pick the temperature while you have it open. One useful side effect: you can stock a single part number and match 2700K on the rest of a building or 3500K in a kitchen or corridor.
3) What dimmer works with the WAC Parallax LED flush mount?
Use an electronic low voltage (ELV) or TRIAC dimmer for smooth continuous dimming. A standard incandescent/magnetic low voltage dimmer is the wrong control for this fixture and is the usual cause of flicker or a limited dim range on an integrated LED like this one.
4) Can the FM-73142 be mounted on a wall as a sconce instead of the ceiling?
Yes. Parallax is built to install either way, ceiling or wall, which is how the 42-inch version gets used as an oversized sconce. Same canopy, same 120V hardwired connection in both orientations. At 42 inches long and 42 inches wide with a 2.5 inch projection off the surface, plan the wall location around that footprint.
5) Is the Parallax flush mount ADA compliant for a corridor wall?
ADA compliant, yes, and its 2.5 inch depth is what makes that work on a wall, since ADA limits how far a fixture may project into a circulation path. It is also listed Title 24 and Title 20 compliant, which matters if you are specifying in California.
6) Can I use the 42 inch Parallax in a bathroom or a covered porch?
Damp location rated and IP44, so it is approved for bathrooms and for covered outdoor spots like a soffit, porch ceiling, or breezeway where it is shielded from direct rain. It is not a wet-location fixture, so do not put it anywhere exposed to driving rain or direct spray.
7) How much light does the FM-73142 put out, and do I need to buy lamps for it?
2006 lumens at 35W from integrated LEDs, with a flood distribution through a white polycarbonate diffuser for even wash rather than a tight beam. Nothing to buy and nothing to relamp: the LEDs are built in, rated 50,000 average hours, and there is no socket. Treat it as a maintenance-free fixture over its life, which is the point for MRO and multi-family spec.
8) Is there a smaller Parallax if 42 inches is too big for my ceiling?
Parallax is made in 16, 32, and 42 inch sizes, so if the 42 inch overwhelms the space, step down to the 32 or 16 inch version of the same collection. They share the crossed linear look and finish range, which lets you run the 42 inch over a dining area and smaller ones in adjacent rooms without a style break.
9) Is the WAC Parallax flush mount ETL listed, and is it Energy Star?
ETL and cETL listed, so it is approved for both US and Canadian installations. It is not Energy Star qualified, which matters only if a rebate program or a utility spec requires that specific label. Title 20 and Title 24 compliance are both covered.
