Built to last, built to disappearThe LUNA 3" gimbal is made around a durable airtight aluminum body with an adjustable gimbal, so the light aims where you need it while the housing stays sealed against the ceiling cavity. Inside, an anodized blue heat sink keeps airflow moving around the LED light source, which is what protects output and colour over the long haul. Two spring-loaded clips hold the fixture in the ceiling and let it attach to virtually any ceiling material, from drywall to plywood soffits. The black trim finish is part of the BK / BN / WH family, and it is the choice most installers make when they want the aperture to visually vanish in a dark or high ceiling.
Light quality you can seeA 7 watt LED module produces up to 745 lumens with uniform intensity — no hot spots, no patchy scallops — at a typical CRI of 90. That high colour rendering matters in kitchens where food has to look appetizing, in bathrooms where make-up and grooming need honest light, and in retail where fabric and finishes have to sell themselves. The fixture lens provides a 45° beam spread, a well-controlled cone that layers nicely when the fixtures are spaced in a row, and the gimbal tilts to aim that cone at a wall, a backsplash or a display shelf.
Electrical, dimming and installationPower comes from an extruded aluminum hardwire box housing a 170 mA dimmable class II electronic LED driver with 100-135V AC input. 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, and three Quick Connect push-in terminals make wiring fast — a real time saver when you're installing a whole floor of downlights. The fixture is dimmable with industry-standard TRIAC/ELV dimmers; for the compatible dimmer list, consult liteline.com/lunadimmers. Cut a Ø 2 3/4" (70 mm) hole, tuck the driver box into the cavity, push the clips in and you're done. Approved for direct contact with insulation and suitable for wet locations, it works in insulated ceilings and in exterior soffits through Canadian winters, with an operating range of -40°C to +40°C (-40°F to +104°F).
