Built around the regressed gimbalThe whole idea behind the LUNA RA4-12RG series is comfort. The LED module is set back inside the housing rather than flush with the ceiling plane, which keeps the bright emitting surface out of your direct line of sight. Add the
gimbal action and you can tilt and rotate the light to graze a wall, highlight artwork, or push light into a corner that a fixed downlight would never reach. In a 4-inch aperture, that combination gives you an architectural look without an architectural budget or a specialist to aim it — a screwdriver, a ladder and five minutes of tweaking usually does it.
Light quality you can actually seeLiteline's spectrum test report for this LUNA platform is unusually detailed, and it is worth reading. Colour rendering comes in at Ra = 92.8 with an average R value of 90.9, and the TM-30 metrics report Rf = 92 for fidelity and Rg = 98 for gamut — meaning colours are rendered faithfully and with natural saturation, not artificially punched up. Individual samples are strong across the board, including R9 = 55.97 on deep red, R13 = 94.20 on skin tone and R14 = 99.57 on foliage green. For a kitchen where food should look appetizing, a bathroom mirror where makeup needs to be judged correctly, or a shop where fabric and finishes are being sold, that level of
high CRI performance is the difference between a room that feels expensive and one that feels flat.

Electrical and installation notesThe tested electrical values on this platform are V = 33.241 V and I = 0.2701 A at the module, with a power factor of 1.000 — a clean load that plays nicely on a shared branch circuit when you are running several
recessed downlights off one switch. Because the draw per fixture is small, you can build a full ceiling layout without crowding the circuit. As with any recessed can, plan your spacing before you cut: a tighter pitch for general ambient light, a wider pitch when you are using the gimbal purely for accenting. Keep the gimbal tilt modest on wall washing so the beam grazes the surface rather than hitting it head-on, and aim all fixtures in a run the same way for a clean, intentional look. Always confirm your installation with the current Canadian Electrical Code and your local inspector, particularly for ceiling assemblies that require an air-tight or vapour barrier treatment.
Family, applications and documentationThis SKU belongs to a full LUNA RA4-12RG family, so you can mix and match across a project while keeping the same aperture and look: the
black RA4-12RG-90BK and the
white RA4-12RG-90WH cover standard white-light needs, while the
Luna 4" OnCloud tunable white and the
Luna 4" OnCloud RGBTW bring colour and white-tone control to the same housing style. Typical jobs: a living room where four gimbals wash a feature wall, a retail floor where each fixture is aimed at a different display, an office corridor, a stairwell, a basement rec room. The technical PDF (RA4-12RG-DTW90BK Spec Sheet) is available in the Documentation tab of this page — download it before you order so your electrician has the measured photometric and electrical data in hand.
