Zero-Fuss Junction Box Fitment with Magnetic Alignment Technology
The WAC Lighting 4051 step light redefines installation efficiency for landscape contractors and electrical professionals. Engineered with a proprietary magnetized faceplate, this fixture eliminates the tedious, time-consuming alignment errors commonly found during final trim-out. The robust housing drops cleanly into any standard 2" x 4" junction box (with minimum inside dimensions of 3"L x 2"W x 2.5"D), completely removing the labor overhead of proprietary sleeves. Built from a factory-treated, corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy and sealed to strict IP66 standards, the 4051 shrugs off high-pressure irrigation jets, severe torrential downpours, and harsh coastal environments—drastically cutting down on unbillable truck rolls and service callbacks.
Technical Specifications:
- Wire Lead: 10-foot professional-grade lead wire with inline fuse
- Input: 9-15VAC (Landscape transformer required, sold separately)
- Power: 2W / 3.1VA (Utilize the 3.1VA value for precise transformer sizing and voltage drop engineering)
- Brightness: Up to 18 Lumens (Photometrically optimized for localized ground washes)
- Color Temperature: Available in 2700K (Warm White), 3000K (Pure White), or Amber (Wildlife/Bug friendly)
- Rated Life: 60,000 Hours (Over 13 years of maintenance-free nightly operation)
- CRI: 90+ High Color Rendering Index for vivid nighttime clarity
Key Features:
- Construction: Die-cast, marine-grade corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy built to withstand physical abuse and structural shifting.
- Finish Options: Available in professional architect-grade Black on Aluminum (BK), Bronze on Aluminum (BZ), and White on Aluminum (WT).
- Weatherproofing: IP66 rated and UL/cUL listed for wet locations, offering bulletproof protection against dust entry and high-pressure water streams.
- Optics & Light Quality: Precision-engineered asymmetrical downward louvered faceplate that directs functional light exactly where needed while eliminating direct-view glare.
- Voltage Regulation: Advanced onboard circuitry maintains uniform lumen output and consistent color temperature from 9V up to 15V, neutralizing the effects of voltage drop on long wire runs.
Ideal Applications:
- Safety illumination for concrete or wood-framed staircases, deck risers, patio borders, and retaining wall pathways.
- Low-voltage ambient accent lighting integrated into outdoor kitchen kickplates, stone masonry columns, or modern fire-pit perimeters.
- The combination of an integrated wide-range driver (9-15VAC) and magnetic trim alignment means zero troubleshooting on site, faster commissioning, and an absolute minimum of post-installation callbacks.
