WAC Lighting WAC-WS-W15708 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the WAC Sodor WS-W15708 wall light need a separate LED driver or transformer?
No. The Sodor WS-W15708 uses WAC's ACLED technology, so it runs directly on 120V line voltage with no remote driver or transformer. It wires straight to a standard or pancake junction box, which keeps the rough-in simple on a retrofit where there is no room behind the backplate for a driver.
2) Can the Sodor WS-W15708 be used in an exposed outdoor location like an uncovered entry or a poolside wall?
Yes. It carries a Wet location rating and an IP65 rating along with ETL and cETL listings, so direct rain exposure is acceptable. The light engine is factory sealed and the die cast aluminum shade wears a weather resistant powder coat. It is also listed for indoor use, so the same fixture can be specified inside and out on one building.
3) Will the WAC Sodor outdoor sconce dim on my existing wall dimmer?
Only on an electronic low voltage (ELV) dimmer. The Sodor dims smoothly and continuously with ELV control, so a standard incandescent or TRIAC forward phase dimmer left over from an old lantern is likely to flicker or drop out at the low end. Plan on swapping the dimmer at the same time you swap the fixture.
4) What size junction box opening does the 8 inch backplate on the WAC Sodor sconce cover?
The backplate measures 8 inches and the fixture is 8 inches wide by 5.38 inches high, so it covers a standard round or octagonal junction box opening with room to spare. Pancake boxes are fine too. If you are replacing an older lantern, check that the existing box mounting holes fall inside that 8 inch footprint before you patch the siding or stucco.
5) How much light does the WS-W15708 Sodor put out, and is it enough for a front entry or a walkway?
750 lumens from a 12W integrated LED at 3000K, with a flood beam spread through a white diffuser lens. That is a warm white output in the range of a typical entry lantern, and the up/down mounting throws light on the wall above and onto the ground below. The die cast aluminum shade gives glare cutoff, which matters on a path where you do not want the source in someone's eyes.
6) Does the Sodor WS-W15708 meet dark sky requirements for an HOA or municipal ordinance?
The Sodor is a Dark Sky fixture, and the solid die cast aluminum shade is what gets it there by cutting glare and keeping light off the sky. If your jurisdiction also requires a specific color temperature ceiling, this one is 3000K.
7) Can I replace the bulb in the WAC Sodor wall sconce when it burns out?
No, and that is by design. The Sodor uses a single integrated LED module that is factory sealed for weather protection, so there is no socket and no lamp to change. It is rated for 54,000 average hours. At an entry running dusk to dawn that is well over a decade, but budget for replacing the whole fixture rather than a lamp at end of life.
8) What finishes does the Sodor WS-W15708 come in if I am standardizing a building's exterior?
The 5.38 inch Sodor is ordered as WS-W15708-BK in Black or WS-W15708-BZ in Bronze, both at 3000K. Both are weather resistant powder coat over aluminum. The Sodor collection also runs in a second, larger size, so you can keep one look across entries and larger elevations.
9) Is the WAC Sodor wall light ADA compliant for a corridor or egress path?
No. The Sodor WS-W15708 is not an ADA compliant fixture, so it should not be specified where a wall mounted luminaire between 27 and 80 inches above the floor has to stay within the protruding object limit. For those locations pick an ADA rated flush profile sconce instead.
10) Does the WS-W15708 qualify for California Title 24 residential outdoor lighting compliance?
It is Title 20 listed but not Title 24 compliant on its own, and it is not Energy Star rated. On a California job where the exterior fixture has to satisfy Title 24, this one will need to be handled through the controls path or another fixture selected.
11) Is the Sodor sconce hardwired or does it plug in?
Hardwired only, at 120V. There is no cord or plug, so a licensed electrician terminating into a junction box is required. That also means it can sit on a switched or dimmed circuit, which a plug-in fixture cannot do cleanly.
