FAQs
What makes Guild’s electrical fixtures “exceptional performance”?
Every Guild fixture is engineered with premium-grade copper wiring, low-resistance contacts, and LED drivers that operate at 90 % efficiency or higher. This design minimizes energy loss, keeps operating temperatures low, and extends component life far beyond industry averages. All fixtures undergo a 100-hour stress test and are certified to exceed both UL and IEC performance benchmarks.
Are Guild fixtures compatible with standard residential wiring?
Yes. All luminaires, receptacles, and switches in the Exceptional Performance line are rated for 120 V/60 Hz North-American residential circuits. They ship with pre-stripped leads, color-coded to NEC standards, so licensed electricians can connect them to existing 14- or 12-gauge branch circuits without special adapters. For commercial 277 V applications, models with the “-C” suffix are available.
Can I install the fixtures myself or do I need a licensed electrician?
For safety and to maintain warranty coverage, Guild recommends installation by a licensed electrician. While many homeowners are comfortable replacing a receptacle or pendant light, our fixtures include advanced dimming modules and surge-protection circuitry that must be correctly grounded and programmed. A qualified professional will also ensure the installation complies with local code and pass inspection.
How energy-efficient are Guild’s LED lighting fixtures?
Guild LEDs deliver 105–125 lumens per watt, placing them in the top 10 % of efficiency for solid-state lighting. Integrated drivers feature 0.9+ power factor and <10 % total harmonic distortion (THD). Over a 50,000-hour service life, a single 15 W Guild downlight can save approximately $240 in electricity compared with a 65 W incandescent recessed can (based on 12 ¢/kWh).
What kind of warranty is offered on Guild electrical fixtures?
All Exceptional Performance fixtures come with a transferable 10-year limited warranty covering manufacturers’ defects in materials and workmanship, plus a 5-year lumen maintenance guarantee for LED products. Should a component fail, Guild will send a replacement fixture or part within 5 business days and reimburse up to $75 in labor with proof of licensed installation.
Are the fixtures dimmer-compatible and smart-home ready?
Absolutely. Every lighting model supports TRIAC, ELV, and 0-10 V dimming out of the box. Fixtures labeled “-S” include a built-in Zigbee/Z-Wave bridge that pairs with Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit. For other fixtures, an optional smart module snaps into the junction box without rewiring, letting you add app control, scheduling, and energy monitoring later on.
