WAC Lighting WAC-FM-05SQ – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the WAC FM-05SQ flush mount be installed in a shower or over a tub?
Yes, within a damp-rated wet area. The FM-05SQ is damp location rated with a dead front trim specifically called out for shower applications, and the housing is injection molded UV rated plastic with a translucent diffuser. Damp rating covers a shower ceiling or a covered porch where the fixture sees humidity and splash, not direct spray or immersion.
2) Will the WAC FM-05SQ work outside on a covered porch or in a coastal installation?
It is rated Indoor/Outdoor (Covered), so a soffit, covered porch or breezeway is the right application, not an exposed eave with weather blowing onto it. WAC calls it suitable for outdoor and coastal regions, and the UV rated plastic body is what makes that hold up. The aluminum base and the plastic enclosure are the reason it survives salt air better than a painted steel drum fixture.
3) How much of the ceiling does the FM-05SQ take up and how far does it drop down?
Small footprint: 5 inches square with a 0.6 inch projection off the surface, and the backplate is 5 inches to match. That is close to flat, which is why it works in a low clearance hallway, a closet, a stair landing, or a shower where headroom matters. The 5 inch square face also means it covers a standard round ceiling box opening without leaving the box edge showing.
4) Where does the driver go on the WAC FM-05SQ, and will it fit in my existing junction box?
The driver mounts inside the junction box, not in the fixture body, and it measures 2.25 inches diameter by 1 inch deep. Wire leads are 6 inches. Because that puck has to share the box with your branch wiring, a shallow pancake box is tight; a standard 4 inch round or octagon box at normal depth takes it without a fight. Plan the box before the fixture goes up, since there is only 0.6 inch of fixture depth to hide anything in.
5) What dimmer works with the WAC FM-05SQ LED flush mount?
It dims on ELV or TRIAC controls, 100 percent down to 5 percent on either. TRIAC means the standard forward phase incandescent style dimmers already on most residential walls will drive it, so a retrofit usually does not need the switch changed. Input is 120 VAC, 50/60Hz, and it draws 12W, so a single dimmer carries a long run of them. There is no 0-10V or DALI input on this fixture.
6) Do I order 3000K or 3500K on the WAC FM-05SQ?
Both are stocked, and the color temperature is fixed at the part number, so it is decided when you order, not on site. 3000K reads as warm white and matches most residential and hospitality trim; 3500K is neutral and blends better with commercial corridors and office areas already running 3500K or 4000K troffers. Ordering codes carry it: FM-05SQ-930-WT is 3000K white, FM-05SQ-935-WT is 3500K white. Match whatever is already in the adjacent openings, since two temperatures in one corridor is obvious.
7) Does the WAC FM-05SQ meet California Title 24 and Energy Star for a spec job?
It carries Energy Star, is CEC listed, and is Title 24 compliant, which is the combination a California project or a utility rebate submission asks for. It is also ETL and cETL certified for US and Canadian installs, and listed ADA compliant, which the 0.6 inch projection supports for wall mounting in an accessible route.
8) Can the FM-05SQ be mounted on a wall instead of a ceiling?
Yes. The FM-05SQ mounts on either ceiling or wall in any orientation, so the same part number covers a hallway ceiling, a sconce position beside a mirror, and a stairwell wall pack. For a property manager standardizing a building, that means one SKU on the shelf instead of separate ceiling and wall fixtures.
9) What finishes does the WAC FM-05SQ come in, and is every finish available in both color temperatures?
Three finishes: bronze, brushed nickel, and white, and each one is built in both 3000K and 3500K. That is six orderable part numbers, from FM-05SQ-930-BZ through FM-05SQ-935-WT. White disappears on a painted ceiling, bronze suits exterior soffits and darker trim, nickel matches bath and kitchen hardware.
10) Is the FM-05SQ bright enough to be the only light in a small bathroom or closet?
It delivers 1050 delivered lumens from 12W, which covers a small bath, a walk-in closet, a laundry, or a short hall as the single source. In a larger room it works better spaced in a run than alone. CRI is 90, so skin tones and paint colors read correctly, which matters in a bathroom or a hotel guest room where a 80 CRI fixture makes everything look flat.
11) Do I need to buy bulbs for the WAC FM-05SQ, and what happens when the LEDs fail?
Nothing to buy. The light source is an integrated multiple LED array with the driver supplied, so there is no lamp to stock and no socket to fail. Rated life is 50,000 hours. The tradeoff is that when the array does go, the fixture is replaced rather than relamped, so an MRO buyer standardizing a facility should keep a spare fixture rather than spare lamps.
12) Is the FM-05SQ hardwired or does it plug in?
Hardwired only, 120V, with 6 inch leads to splice in the junction box. There is no cord or plug, so it needs a supplied ceiling or wall box and an electrician on a commercial job. It is not an option for a plug-in closet or a rental where you cannot open the wiring.
13) Is the diffuser on the FM-05SQ glass or plastic?
Acrylic, not glass. The lens is a translucent acrylic diffuser over the LED array, and the enclosure is injection molded UV rated plastic with an aluminum base. In multi-family turnovers, stairwells, and school corridors that is the point: it will not shatter if something hits it, and it weighs little enough for one person to hang.
