Entry DescriptionThe 2-inch modular downlights feature tool-less, field-changeable trims, modules and optics, providing the ultimate flexibility in aiming a project or any design changes can be easily swapped onsite.
Downlight or adjustable (360° rotation and 35° tilt) modules are paired with a universal housing, offering a small footprint without sacrificing light output.
The first truly serviceable 2-inch downlight with integrated driver and below ceiling access. Housing’s unique trap door provides post-install access to the splice box below the ceiling plane. Together these allow for painless serviceability, unheard of in a 2-inch fixture.
Field-interchangeable optics include 15-, 25-, 40-, and 60-degrees and Linear Spread distributions. Color temperatures include Warm Dim and Tunable White with a 93+ CRI and 2-step SDCM.
Die-cast round and square aluminum trims (downlight, wall wash, flangeless and decorative choices) are wet painted for a rich, matte finish.
A breakthrough for error-free installation, a patent-pending collar eliminates over-cutting and drywall repair, common with small-aperture fixtures. Collar makes flush installation in drywall/millwork easy to achieve. It also serves as overspray protection.
Housings and modules can ship separately so housings can be installed before the lighting design is finalized, reducing storage while maintaining tight deadlines.
Sustainability ApproachFrom engineering even-more energy-efficient lighting to sourcing recycled material, the company’s commitment to sustainability is a major factor in its product design. That's why all our products are Title 24 JA8 and RoHS compliant, and proud to have all products Living Building Challenge Declare listed -- free of toxins and harmful chemicals deemed non-sustainable. The energy-efficient LED downlights are also ENEGY STAR rated and consume only 9.5W (750 lumens), 12.5W (1000 lumens), 14.3W (1250 lumens), and 16.5W (1500 lumens).
