RAB Wafer WFRETRO6 6 in Smooth Retrofit Downlight — 15/13/11W / Selectable CCT

The RAB WFRETRO6 is a 6-inch smooth trim wafer retrofit downlight that installs directly into existing recessed housings using an E26 Edison socket adapter — no rewiring required. Delivering up to 1,430 lumens at 15W with field-selectable CCTs from 2700K to 5000K, it replaces a 100W incandescent lamp while offering full dimming capability down to 10%.

  • Dimming: TRIAC/ELV compatible, dims to 10%
  • Lifespan: 50,000 hours (L70, IES LM-70)
  • Input Voltage: 120V, Constant Current Class 2 driver
  • Trim Style: Smooth with frosted polycarbonate lens
  • Energy Star: Version 2.2 Certified (Energy Star ID 3398293)
  • Title 24 JA8: California Title 24 Part 6 compliant

Construction & Aesthetics

The WFRETRO6 features a white smooth trim with a frosted polycarbonate lens that distributes light evenly and smoothly for general lighting applications. The plastic and metal enclosure is air-tight certified per ASTM E283, ensuring energy efficiency and code compliance.

Electrical & Installation

Installation is tool-free using the included E26 Edison socket adapter — simply screw into the existing recessed socket and snap into the housing. Compatible with standard 5/6 in recessed downlight housings. For new construction, pair with NDCANIC6R (6 in new construction IC-rated housing) or RDCANIC6R (6 in remodel IC-rated housing). Emergency backup power available via DRI-21-EMGR-DC-D10. Operates at 120V on compatible TRIAC/ELV dimming systems.

Light Output & Performance

The WFRETRO6 delivers up to 1,430 lumens at 15W with a 101 lm/W efficacy at peak output. The 110-degree beam angle provides wide-area illumination for general ambient lighting. Color consistency maintained within a 4-step MacAdam Ellipse with less than 200K CCT shift over 5 years. Rated for 50,000 hours per IES LM-70 testing.

Typical Applications

  • Residential remodel lighting in kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas
  • Rental property updates and energy retrofit projects
  • Low-clearance ceilings where canless or wafer-style fixtures are required
  • Wet locations including bathrooms, covered patios, and canopies

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the RAB WFRETRO6 require a new recessed housing, or does it work with existing cans?

No — the WFRETRO6 is a wafer retrofit that installs directly into existing 5/6 in recessed downlight housings using the included E26 Edison socket adapter. No rewiring or new housing is required. For new construction, pair with the NDCANIC6R (6 in new construction IC-rated housing) or RDCANIC6R (6 in remodel housing).

Is the RAB WFRETRO6 IC rated for installation in insulated ceilings?

No — the WFRETRO6 itself is not IC rated. However, it is air-tight certified per ASTM E283. For insulated ceiling installations, use it with an IC-rated housing such as the NDCANIC6R or RDCANIC6R, which are rated for direct insulation contact.

What accessories are compatible with the RAB WFRETRO6?

Yes — several accessories are available. For new construction, use the NDCANIC6R (6 in IC-rated new construction housing). For remodel applications, use the RDCANIC6R (6 in IC-rated remodel housing). Emergency backup power is provided by the DRI-21-EMGR-DC-D10 emergency driver.

Is the RAB WFRETRO6 dimmable, and what dimmer switches are compatible?

Yes — the WFRETRO6 dims smoothly down to 10% on compatible TRIAC and ELV dimming systems. Refer to RAB Lighting's Dimmer Compatibility List at rablighting.com for a full list of tested and approved dimmer switches.

How much light does the WFRETRO6 produce, and what size room does it work for?

The WFRETRO6 delivers up to 1,430 lumens at 15W (3500K) with a 101 lm/W efficacy — equivalent to a 100W incandescent. The 110-degree beam angle makes it ideal for general ambient lighting in rooms up to approximately 150 sq ft per fixture. Brightness and CCT are both field-selectable via dip switch, so output can be tuned to 1,280lm (13W) or 1,084lm (11W) as needed.
