WAC Lighting Ion 2in Recessed Frame-In Kit, Die-Cast Aluminum

The WAC Lighting Ion 2in Recessed Frame-In Kit is a pre-install housing designed to fit the WAC Ion recessed downlight, letting electricians set the frame during rough-in and order the light itself later in the project. Built from die-cast aluminum with a 20-gauge steel driver box, the 2in frame-in kit is engineered for the Ion's new construction and remodel platform. It carries a wet location listing for indoor and outdoor applications, including showers, and is Airtight and IC-Rated for direct contact with insulation. This kit is sold separately from the Ion light engine, giving contractors flexibility to install the frame early and finish the fixture on their own schedule.

Key Features

  • Trade Size: 2in frame-in kit sized specifically to fit the WAC Ion Recessed Light.
  • Durable Construction: Die-cast aluminum housing paired with a 20-gauge steel driver box for long-term jobsite durability.
  • New Construction Ready: Frame-in kits are included with the new construction Ion version and are also available separately for pre-installation ahead of the remodel Ion light.
  • Project-Stage Flexibility: Install the frame while rafters are exposed, then order the Ion light separately, reducing on-site box storage and saving installation time.

WAC Lighting WAC-R2DRDN-FRAME-P – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the WAC Ion 2in frame-in kit include the recessed light itself?
No. The Ion 2in frame-in kit is the housing only, sold separately from the Ion light engine. That is the point of it: set the frame during rough-in while the ceiling is open, then order the Ion downlight later in the project. The new construction version of the Ion light already ships with a frame-in kit, so buy this one when you are pre-installing ahead of the remodel version.
2) Can I use the WAC Ion 2in frame-in kit in a shower or outdoors on a soffit?
Yes. The Ion 2in frame-in kit is wet location rated and is ETL and cETL Listed to UL #1598 for dry, damp, and wet locations, with showers called out specifically. That covers covered exterior soffits and other outdoor recessed positions as well as bath and shower ceilings.
3) Is the WAC Ion 2in recessed frame kit safe to bury in attic insulation?
It is IC-Rated, so it can sit in direct contact with insulation, and it is also Airtight, which keeps conditioned air from leaking into the attic through the can. No standoff or insulation dam is required around it.
4) What is the WAC Ion 2in frame-in kit actually made of, and will it survive being installed months before the trim goes in?
The housing is die-cast aluminum and the driver box is 20-gauge steel. That combination is what lets it be mounted during framing and left exposed to jobsite traffic before the Ion light is connected.
5) Is this frame-in kit hardwired, and does it meet California Title 24?
Hardwired, ceiling mounted. On code: the Ion kit is listed as CEC Title 24 compliant, Title 24 JA8-2016, Title 20, and Energy Star 2.0 certified, which is what inspectors in California ask for on residential recessed work.
6) Do I need a separate junction box when I rough in the WAC Ion 2in frame kit?
No separate box is needed for the driver. The kit carries its own 20-gauge steel driver box as part of the assembly, and the fixture is hardwired into it. Pull your branch circuit to the frame at rough-in.
7) What paperwork is available for the WAC Ion 2in frame-in kit for a submittal package?
Both a specification sheet and an installation guide are published for the Ion 2in frame-in kit, which covers the cut sheet a GC or electrical inspector will ask for in a submittal and the rough-in instructions for the crew.
