Built for tight ceilingsThis round gimbal downlight is designed around a compact body — 45 mm (1.8") and 63 mm (2.5") deep by 33 mm (1.33") and 108 mm (4.25") across per the technical drawing — so it slips into shallow ceiling cavities where a traditional can simply will not go. The real trick is the
interchangeable trim: the same fixture accepts a 3 inch or 4 inch trim, which makes retrofits far easier when you are replacing older holes of different sizes. Cut-out for the 3" trim is 2.56" - 2.95" (65 - 75mm); cut-out for the 4" trim is 3" - 4.25" (78 - 108mm). The gimbal lets you tilt the head after installation, turning a plain
recessed pot light into a true accent light.
Light quality and colour controlAt 8W the fixture puts out 784lm in a 40° beam, tight enough to sculpt a feature wall or highlight a counter without spilling everywhere. A
CRI of >80 keeps skin tones, cabinetry and product colours honest. The
5 colour temperature settings are chosen with the toggle switch on the junction box: upper position 2700K, second position 3000K, middle position 3500K, fourth position 4000K, lower position 5000K. That means one box of fixtures can serve a warm bedroom, a neutral hallway and a cooler workshop — decided on site, at the moment of install.

Wiring, dimming and compatibilityThe fixture runs on standard 110 - 130VAC line voltage and is
Triac base dimmable, so it works with common forward-phase wall dimmers. The spec sheet lists tested models including Lutron S-603P, CTCL-153P, TG600P, DV600P, LG600P, SCL-153P, MAW-600, LGCL-153P, 7SCL-153P, 600PH, DV-600P, 6838, CTELV-303P and CTCL-153PD, along with Leviton 6633-P, 1C33L1, 6674 and 6838-type controls; the Lutron MS-VP600G is listed as N/A for dimming. Mounting plates are available for both apertures: the 3 inch plate (LCPLATE-3) and the 4 inch plate (LCPLATE-4). Always cut power at the panel, dry-fit one unit and test it on your dimmer before drilling the rest of the ceiling.
Where it works and what else to look atThink kitchen perimeters aligned with the counter edge, hallway runs pulled slightly away from the wall so the beam grazes the surface, closets, stair soffits, retail shelving, café banquettes and office reception walls. The Damp Location approval and Type IC Rated construction also make it suitable for bathrooms outside the shower zone and for insulated ceilings. Matching finishes are available for mixed-material projects: the
white trim version and the
brushed aluminum trim version share the same body and specs. The full technical PDF, with the drawing, cut-out dimensions, colour temperature toggle chart and dimmer compatibility list, is in the Documentation tab.
