Wac Lighting is a USA lighting manufacturer with 3 major facilities located in Long Island NY, Georgia and California. Nearly 90% of all WAC Lighting products are fabricated, to a component level, within the USA facilities. This allows them to be able to ship quick products with a lead time of about a week. The presentation covered all of their latest products that have been released in the last 6 months, (January 2016-June 2016) The first product we saw was a sconce names BRINK. It has a small backplate in which the fixture can slide into. It comes in 3 different sizes but only in a brushed aluminum finish. It is damp location rated.
The InvisiLED Tape light is also another product that we saw. It has a 45 degree throw delivering about 500 lumens/feet. The unique aspect of this tape light is that it can also bend horizontally at a 90 degree angle using bending points running along the tape light to create neat corners. This can be used in conjunction with a variety of channel options.
The 2 channel options we saw were the symmetric recessed channel and the asymmetric recessed channel (indirect cove application). They both are available in continuous runs and can be inserted within the gypsum board for a seamless finish. The channel wings slide in between two pieces of gypsum and can be speckled and painted. This whole assembly comes in at $50/FT DN. The aluminum channel can easy be cut on the field and allows for installation of virtually any dimension (within the 6" restriction of the tape light).
We also saw the SiloX10. It is a track head with 10w that delivers 790 lumens. The most interesting aspect about this fixture is the "active zoom" lens that can manipulate the beam angles (15 degrees-50 degrees)on the field with the turn of a dial. It is priced at $70 DN but it is only available in 3000k.
We were impressed by the Volta Wall Wash. It is a fully adjustable, ETL listed, wet location downlight. It comes in 1000/2000/3000lm output options. We saw the wall wash version. It has many components that help make it very flexible to customize the type, direction and quality of light output from the fixture. The fixture can be aimed in both the vertical direction (0-45°) and horizontal direction 365° horizontal lockable hot aiming. The optical cartridge allows for the beam spread flexibility. The whole assembly comes in at about $220- $260.
Lastly we saw the landscape series which included an above ground stake light with an IP68 rating. The wattage output can be adjusted in the field with the turn of a knob. The other landscape fixture was the inground with an IP rating of 67. This has the ability of changing color because of the RGB LED that is being used. This is not controlled via DMX but instead they use a proprietary software that is accessible via an application on apple smartphones. They expect a DMX protocol to be available next year.
