WAC Lighting LU-I – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the WAC Lighting LU-I I-Connector actually do in an undercabinet strip run?
The LU-I is a straight (in-line) joiner. It couples two WAC undercabinet LED linear strip segments end to end so the run reads as one continuous line with no visible gap. It is plug and play, so no soldering or cutting of the extrusion is needed at the joint.
2) Will the LU-I fit my 1/2 inch aluminum extrusion strip lights?
It is sized specifically for WAC's 1/2 inch tall by 1/2 inch wide aluminum extrusion undercabinet strips, so the connector sits flush with the channel profile and stays low profile under a cabinet. It is not a universal LED tape connector, so if your existing strip is a different brand or a different extrusion size, it will not seat correctly.
3) How long a continuous undercabinet run can I join together with these connectors?
Run length is limited by the driver, not the connector: up to 18 feet on a 96W power supply, or 12 feet on a 60W power supply. The power supply is sold separately, in plug-in or hardwired remote driver form. If your kitchen needs more than 18 feet, plan on a second supply and a separate circuit of strip.
4) Do I need anything else besides the I-Connector to finish the undercabinet install?
The connector alone only makes the joint. You still need the WAC undercabinet strip segments themselves and a power supply, which is sold separately in plug-in or hardwired remote driver form, sized 60W or 96W depending on total run length. The configuration here is plug-in. An ELV or TRIAC dimmer is optional if you want dimming control.
5) Can I use the I-Connector under a cabinet above a sink or in a damp kitchen area?
The strip system this connector belongs to is rated IP44 for dry or damp interior locations, and the location rating on the part is damp. That covers typical kitchen undercabinet work including areas near a sink. It is not a wet location part, so skip it for exterior or direct-spray applications.
6) Is the WAC undercabinet strip system with this connector ETL listed for a permitted job?
Yes. The strip system is ETL and cETL Listed under UL #2108, and the safety rating on this accessory records ETL, cETL and IP44. It is also noted ADA compliant, which matters on institutional and multi-family work where projection limits apply.
7) Will the joined run still dim smoothly after I splice segments with an I-Connector?
Yes. The system dims continuously down to 10 percent with ELV or TRIAC dimmers. The connector is a straight pass-through join, so dimming behavior is set by your driver and wall dimmer, not by the joint.
8) What finish options does the LU-I I-Connector come in, and will it match my strip channel?
The connector is offered in aluminum or black to match the finish of WAC's 1/2 inch aluminum extrusion undercabinet strips. Pick the one that matches the channel you already have on the other cabinet runs so the joins disappear.
