WAC Lighting Kenric 3.5in Recessed Frame-In Kit, Die-Cast Aluminum

WAC Lighting Kenric 3.5in Recessed Frame-In Kit, Die-Cast Aluminum

The WAC Lighting Kenric 3.5in Frame-In Kit lets electrical contractors rough-in recessed lighting before the finished light module ships to the jobsite. Built from die-cast aluminum with a 20-gauge steel driver box, this frame-in kit is sized specifically to fit the WAC Kenric Recessed Light and is ETL and cETL UL #1598 listed for Dry, Damp, and Wet Locations. Install it into new construction with the rafters exposed, then order the Kenric downlight separately once the project reaches finish stage — eliminating the need to store finished fixtures on site.

• Durable Construction: Die-cast aluminum housing paired with a 20-gauge steel driver box for long-term structural integrity in ceiling installations.
