WAC Lighting ME-826-BK – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the WAC ME-826 monopoint spot light need a separate track or remote transformer?
No. The ME-826 is a monopoint fixture with the 120V electronic transformer built into the canopy, so it wires straight to a 120V branch circuit with no track run and no remote transformer. It's a hardwired fixture, not plug-in, so it needs a junction box at the mounting point.
2) Is a lamp included with the WAC ME-826 spot light?
No lamp ships with the ME-826. It takes one 12V MR16 with a GU5.3 bi-pin base, LED or halogen, up to 50W max. The LED MR16 is only included if you order the 826LED version instead.
3) Will the ME-826 monopoint dim smoothly with an LED MR16, or will it drop out at low levels?
The integral transformer is rated to 1 watt minimum load specifically so low-wattage LED MR16 lamps stay on. Paired with an electronic low voltage dimmer it dims smoothly and continuously down to 10 percent. The fixture accepts ELV and TRIAC dimming, so match the dimmer type to one of those.
4) Can this WAC monopoint spot be mounted on a wall and aimed upward, or is it ceiling only?
Ceiling or wall, in any orientation. The 826 monopoint mounts from a surface canopy and the head aims from there, so uplighting a wall-mounted piece or washing artwork from the ceiling both work. The canopy backplate is 4.5 by 4.5 inches, and the fixture stands 5.56 inches at maximum height.
5) Can the WAC ME-826 spot light go in a covered exterior entry or a bathroom?
Yes, within limits. The 826 monopoint is UL and cUL Listed for damp locations, which covers covered exterior soffits, porches, and bathrooms. It is not wet-location rated, so keep it out of direct rain or spray.
6) Does the 826 monopoint meet California Title 24 for a retail or residential project?
Yes. The ME-826 is listed as Title 24 compliant and CEC listed. It is not Energy Star rated, and it is not ADA compliant, so it should not be used where a protruding-object ADA restriction applies on a wall.
7) Can I change the beam spread on the 826 spot light after it is installed?
Yes. The 826 ships with a tempered clear glass lens over a 35 degree beam, and special lenses such as spread lenses and UV filters can be ordered from WAC and swapped in place of the clear one. UV lenses are the usual choice over artwork and fabric displays.
8) How do I drop the 826 monopoint lower off a high ceiling?
WAC offers the fixture with 6, 12, 18, 24, 36, and 48 inch extensions, so a tall ceiling can be brought down to the aiming height you need without changing fixture type. The extension is specified when you order; the standard canopy-mounted version has a 5.56 inch max height.
9) What finishes does the WAC 826 monopoint come in for matching other fixtures in a space?
Three finishes: black (ME-826-BK), brushed nickel (ME-826-BN), and white (ME-826-WT). White and black are the usual picks for blending into a painted ceiling; brushed nickel matches adjacent trim hardware.
10) Is the 826 spot light durable enough for a retail display that runs long hours?
The housing is die cast aluminum with a bi-pin ceramic socket and 18 gauge Teflon insulated wiring in fiberglass sleeves, which is built for the heat of a 50W MR16 running all day. Ordered as the LED version it delivers 450 lumens at 3000K, 85 CRI, with a 50,000 hour rated life.
