The RD34 Concrete Pour Mounting Box and Top Plate is precision-engineered to serve as the rough-in enclosure for LUMENSTARLED's in-concrete LED fixtures. Constructed from durable, impact-resistant materials, the housing is designed to maintain its structural integrity during the concrete pouring process, protecting the internal cavity from debris, moisture intrusion, and deformation under the hydrostatic pressure of wet concrete.

Proper thermal management begins at the installation stage. By providing a correctly sized and ventilated mounting cavity, the RD34 ensures that the LED fixture installed within it can dissipate heat effectively once operational. This contributes to longer LED driver life and consistent light output over time, reducing the risk of premature failure that can occur when fixtures are improperly embedded without a dedicated housing.

The mounting box and top plate assembly is cUL/CSA approved, confirming compliance with Canadian electrical and safety standards for below-grade and in-concrete installations. The top plate provides a sealed, flush surface during the pour and is designed to be removed once the concrete has cured, leaving a precise opening ready to receive the compatible IP-rated LED fixture for wet and direct-burial locations.

Installation is straightforward for both homeowners coordinating with licensed electricians and professional contractors. The RD34 is secured in position before the pour using standard mounting methods, and its design accounts for typical concrete slab depths encountered in residential patios, pool surrounds, driveways, and walkways. By investing in the correct rough-in hardware, you avoid the cost and complexity of core-drilling after the fact — ensuring a cleaner result and a more energy-efficient outdoor lighting system from day one.
