WAC Lighting LU-08-27-AL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the WAC LU-UC undercabinet strip light come with a power supply, or do I have to order one separately?
The power supply is separate. The LU-UC runs on 24V and needs either the plug-in supply (part # LU-2420D-P) or the hardwired supply (part # LU-24DC060). What ships with the strip is 1 I-connector, 2 end caps, and 2 mounting brackets, so plan the driver into the order or the run won't light up.
2) How many feet of LU-UC strip can I run off one power supply?
Maximum run is 18 feet on a 96W supply and 12 feet on a 60W supply. Add up the draw of your pieces when planning: each strip pulls 3W, 6W, or 12W depending on length. A long galley kitchen with several 40-inch sections will usually need more than one driver.
3) Will the LU-UC strip fit under a shallow cabinet rail without being visible?
The extrusion is 1/2 inch tall by 1/2 inch wide, so it tucks behind most face frames and light rails. It mounts with the two included brackets and the mounting is listed as ceiling/wall or any orientation, so you can run it flat against the cabinet bottom or vertically against the back of a rail.
4) Which dimmer works with the WAC LU-UC 24V undercabinet light?
Use an ELV or TRIAC dimmer, wired on the line side of the power supply. It dims smoothly down to 10 percent. Standard incandescent-only or 0-10V controls are not the right pick here.
5) What do I have to specify when ordering the LU-UC strip light?
Three choices: length (8, 20, or 40 inches), color temperature (2700K or 3000K), and finish (aluminum or black). Color temperature is fixed per piece, not tunable, so keep it consistent across a run. All three lengths are offered in both color temperatures and both finishes.
6) Can I join LU-UC sections end to end and turn a corner around an L-shaped cabinet?
Yes. Each strip ships with one I-connector for a straight end-to-end butt joint, which is what gives the seamless look along a single cabinet bank. For a corner, you need joiner cables, which support 90 degree turns and custom layouts and are ordered on top of the strips.
7) Can I use these strips above a sink or in a damp area?
Yes, within reason. The LU-UC is IP44 rated for dry or damp interior locations and is ETL and cETL listed under UL 2108. That covers a kitchen run near a sink or a bath cabinet, but not a wet location with direct water contact.
8) How bright is the LU-UC, and is it enough for kitchen counter task lighting?
Output is over 200 lumens per foot: 140 lumens at 3W, 260 at 6W, and 700 at 12W depending on length. With a 110 degree beam spread and a polycarbonate translucent diffuser, it washes the countertop evenly rather than throwing dots. For task lighting over a work counter, that is a usable level when the strip is mounted toward the front of the cabinet bottom.
9) Is the LU-UC a plug-in fixture or does it need to be hardwired by an electrician?
Either way works. The fixture itself is classified as plug-in, and with the LU-2420D-P plug-in supply the whole assembly drops into an existing receptacle, which is what makes it workable for a property manager doing a unit refresh with no new circuit. If the job calls for a concealed connection, the LU-24DC060 hardwired supply handles it.
10) Will the light color match on cabinet finishes and backsplash tile?
CRI is 90 plus, so wood grain, stone, and painted cabinet colors render accurately under it. Pick 2700K for a warm, incandescent-like look that suits traditional wood kitchens, or 3000K for a slightly cleaner white that works better with white or gray cabinets and quartz tops.
11) How long do the LEDs last, and can the bulbs be replaced?
The LEDs are integrated modules, not replaceable lamps, and they are rated 50,000 hours to LM-70. For a multi-family or hospitality owner standardizing on one undercabinet product, that means no relamping cycle, but a failed strip is a strip swap rather than a bulb swap.
12) Is the WAC LU-UC undercabinet strip ADA compliant and Energy Star rated?
ADA compliant, yes. Energy Star, no, which matters if a utility rebate or a green building spec requires it. At 1/2 inch of projection the strip is well inside ADA protrusion limits for an undercabinet mount.
