Electronic Transformer Series meets UL Standard 2108.November 7, 2006 -
Along with auto reset function that protects against short circuits for at least 8 hr, Electronic Transformers feature thermal overload protection and soft start technology that applies voltage gradually, extending transformer and lamp life. Surface-mount series works with electronic, low-voltage dimmer switches, and models carry 60-150 W and 250 W ratings in 12 V versions as well as 150 and 300 W in 24 V versions. Class II 60 W transformers come in hard wire or plug-in versions.

W.A.C. Lighting Introduces New Series of Electronic Transformers to Meet New UL Standard 2108
GARDEN CITY, NY--- To meet the new UL standard (2108) for low voltage lighting systems, W.A.C. Lighting introduces a new series of Electronic Transformers engineered with new technologies, thermal overload and improved short circuit protection. W.A.C. Lighting is a leading designer and manufacturer of track, recessed, undercabinet, decorative and monorail lighting.
Providing an increased margin of safety, the transformers are protected against both normal and abnormal short circuits for at least eight hours, using an improved "auto reset" function.
"Soft start" technology protects both lamps and transformers on cold start-ups, applying voltage gradually and significantly extending transformer and lamp life.
Utilizing the latest surface mount technology, W.A.C. Lighting's new Electronic Transformers have been reduced in size by 25 percent. Heat dissipation of their internal components has been improved, as well as their reliability and effectiveness.
In addition, the new transformers provide thermal overload protection in an environment where the case temperature rises above 120° C. The transformers will automatically shut down and continue to cycle until the temperature falls below the 120° C threshold.
The new transformers achieve best results by dimming with electronic low voltage dimmer switches, to provide smooth operation and better efficiency. They have been tested for noise level and performance with Lutron ELV dimmers.
New technology is available in Electronic Transformers from 60 to 150 watts in 12 volts, and 150 watts in 24 volts, as well as Class II 60W transformers (available in hard wire or "plug in" versions). All Electronic Transformers (including 250 watts in 12 volts and 300 watts in 24 volts) comply with the newly developed UL 2108 standard, effective in 2007 and devoted solely to low voltage luminaires.
