Built to last, built to breatheThe LUNA Designer Series starts with a durable
airtight aluminum body and an adjustable regressed gimbal, so the LED sits deep inside the trim instead of staring back at you. An anodized blue heat sink maximizes airflow around the LED light source, which is exactly what keeps output and colour stable over the long haul — a projected life of 70% @ 50,000 hrs. The 40° tilt (20° in each direction) lets you aim the beam at a backsplash, a fireplace or a gallery wall, and the regressed optic keeps the bright spot out of your eyes when you're seated under it. The RA35-12RG-90BN ships in a
Brushed Nickel trim finish; the same platform is also offered in Black, White and Oil Rubbed Bronze.
Light quality you can seeThis is a general application luminaire with an LED module that maintains uniform intensity, producing up to
1160 lumens with a typical
CRI of 95+. The on-fixture
colour selectable switch covers five colour temperatures — 2700 K, 3000 K, 3500 K, 4000 K and 5000 K — so one SKU covers a warm living room and a crisp workspace. Measured output by setting: 1040 lm at 2700 K, 1090 lm at 3000 K, 1135 lm at 3500 K, 1160 lm at 4000 K and 1145 lm at 5000 K, up to 102 lumens per watt. The lens delivers a 38° beam spread, tight enough to accent, wide enough to layer into a full ceiling plan.
Wiring, driver and dimmingThe extruded aluminum hardwire box houses a 12 watt (300mA) dimmable Class II electronic LED driver with 100-135V AC input and a power factor >0.90. An 18" FT6 rated cable with a DC 2.1 connector links the driver to the fixture and is approved for use in plenums and suspended ceilings. Three
Quick Connect push-in terminals make wiring fast on site, and two spring loaded clips let the housing mount to virtually any ceiling material.
Dimming runs from 100% down to 10% using industry standard forward-phase / reverse-phase TRIAC/ELV dimmers (contact factory for the list of compatible dimmers). Cut a Ø 3 5/8" (92mm) hole and you're in business.

Where it works, and what goes with itBecause it's airtight, approved for direct contact with insulation and suitable for wet locations, this
recessed downlight is at home in bathrooms and showers, over kitchen sinks, in mudrooms and covered entries, and across insulated Canadian ceilings where an air seal matters as much as the light itself. Contractors use it for condo retrofits and basement finishes; retailers aim it at merchandise and signage; designers line it up over islands and hallways. Accessories are sold separately and include pre-mounting and new construction plates for 3 1/2" LUNA LED fixtures (P-3520, P-3520NC, P-3524), the P-NCMK-1 new construction mounting kit with hanger bars, brackets and screws, vapour barrier extenders VBE-1 through VBE-5 for new construction and remodel work, and Brushed Nickel reducer ring RA35-XLRING-BN. To keep a room visually consistent, mix this gimbal with fixed LUNA trims such as the
3.5" Luna LED round recessed fixture RA35-12G-90WH, or step up to dim-to-warm with the
3.5" Luna LED regressed gimbal fixture RA35-12RG-DTW90BN. The full technical PDF (RA35-12RG-90BN Spec Sheet) is in the Documentation tab with dimensions, the ordering guide and the complete accessory list.
