W.A.C. Lighting Introduces the First Smart Transformer
Electronic Transformers Meet New UL Standard 2108
GARDEN CITY, NY--- The only lighting company that manufactures its own Electronic Transformers, W.A.C. Lighting has developed and engineered the first SMART TRANSFORMERS. The most user-friendly electronic transformers available, they incorporate abnormal short circuit protection, troubleshooting diagnostics, full-scale dimming, and the industry's smallest size. W.A.C. Lighting is a leading designer and manufacturer of track, recessed, undercabinet, decorative and monorail lighting.
W.A.C. Lighting's SMART TRANSFORMERS are the safest transformers available and they meet the new UL2108 standard for abnormal short circuit protection. The older 1598 safety standard did not require abnormal short circuit protection, even though most shorts occurring in low voltage systems ,such as monorail and puck lighting, are abnormal.
W.A.C. Lighting guarantees a minimum of eight hours safe operation under the duress of a short circuit, providing sufficient time to troubleshoot the installation without having to replace the transformer.
SMART TRANSFORMERS distinguish an abnormal from a normal short circuit in the system, allowing one to diagnose the source of the problem quickly.
Other features include full-scale dimming on as low as a 25 percent load, along with silent operation. Transformers include an auto-reset feature, thermal overload protection, and soft-start technology to extend lamp life.
SMART TRANSFORMERS are the smallest and most advanced electronic transformers in the industry. Produced in W.A.C. Lighting's company-owned, ISO-9001 certified manufacturing facilities, every transformer is tested extensively prior to distribution.
