WAC Lighting BA-AC18-CS-WT – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the WAC BA-AC18 light bar need a separate LED driver or transformer?
No. The BA-AC18 runs on 120V line voltage using WAC's ACLED driverless technology, so there's no remote driver, transformer, or low-voltage run to plan for. Wire it to a standard 120 VAC, 50/60Hz circuit and it's done. That's the main reason installers pick this over a 24V tape system under cabinets or in a cove.
2) What dimmer works with the WAC BA-AC18 light bar?
Use an ELV (electronic low voltage) or TRIAC forward-phase dimmer. On ELV the bar dims from 100 percent down to 10 percent. Because it's a line-voltage driverless fixture, pair it with a dimmer rated for LED loads and confirm your total connected wattage falls within the dimmer's minimum load.
3) Can I put a WAC BA-AC18 light bar in a bathroom or a covered porch?
It carries a damp location rating, so a covered porch, soffit, or bathroom vanity area away from direct spray is fine. It is not rated for wet locations, so skip open exterior runs, uncovered patios, or anywhere it takes rain directly. Certification is ETL and cETL for US and Canadian jobs.
4) Does the WAC 18 inch light bar count toward Title 24 and ADA on a California job?
Yes on both. The BA-AC18 is listed as Title 24 compliant and CEC listed, which is what a California inspector will look for on residential and light commercial work, and it's flagged ADA compliant, useful in corridors and other spaces with protrusion limits since the housing holds a true 1 inch profile.
5) Will the WAC light bars butt together into a continuous line, or will I see dark spots between them?
They're built to run end to end with minimal space between diffusers, and the LEDs fire into a parabolic reflector rather than straight out, so the white acrylic lens reads as an even line instead of a row of dots. That backlit construction is what makes this a reasonable choice for an exposed cove or a glass shelf where the diffuser is in the sightline.
6) Is the WAC BA-AC18 durable enough for a rental kitchen or a hospitality property?
The body is extruded aluminum with an acrylic lens, and the LED module is integrated and rated for 50,000 hours, so there's no lamp for a tenant to replace or for maintenance to stock. The surface also resists microbial growth, which matters in healthcare and food-service casework. Integrated LED does mean the whole fixture is the replacement unit at end of life.
7) Do I need to hardwire the WAC BA-AC18 or can it plug in?
It's classified as portable rather than hardwired, so it's set up to connect without cutting into branch circuit wiring, and the onboard rocker switch gives you local on/off at the fixture. That makes it workable in retrofits where you don't want to open up finished casework or pull a new switch leg.
8) Can the WAC light bar be mounted vertically or upside down under a shelf?
Mounting orientation is open, any position, so undercabinet, on top of a cabinet for uplight, vertically in a pantry, or in a cove all work. Do the layout around the rocker switch and the cord entry so the switch stays reachable and the connection point lands where you can get to it.
