Built around a gimbalWhat sets this recessed downlight apart from a fixed pot light is the gimbal: the optic tilts inside the housing, so you can aim the
40° beam at a stone wall, a bookcase, a shower niche or a row of artwork instead of washing the floor. The housing is compact — 45 mm (1.8") and 63 mm (2.5") deep with a 33 mm (1.33") and 108 mm (4.25") footprint per the technical drawing — which makes it friendly to shallow plenums and tight joist bays. The trim is white and the same platform is offered in black and brushed aluminum, so the look stays coherent from room to room.
Light quality you can adjustColour temperature is selected on site with a toggle switch located on the junction box: upper position 2700K, second position 3000K, middle 3500K, fourth 4000K, lower 5000K. That means one
CCT selectable downlight covers warm living rooms and cool work areas without reordering. With a
CRI >80, finishes and merchandise keep their true character, and 784 lumens from 8 watts gives you a generous amount of usable light from a small aperture.

Installation and dimming compatibilityWire to a 110–130VAC circuit, set the CCT toggle before you push the fixture up, then let the spring clips hold it against the ceiling. Being
Type IC Rated, it can sit in contact with insulation, and the damp location approval covers bathrooms and covered porches. For dimming, use a
Triac (forward phase) dimmer from the tested list, which includes Lutron S-603P, CTCL-153P, TG600P, DV600P, LG600P, SCL-153P, MAW-600, LGCL-153P, 7SCL-153P, 600PH, DV-600P, 6838, CTELV-303P, CTCL-153PD, plus Leviton 6633-P, 1C33L1, 6674 and 6838; the Lutron MS-VP600G is listed as N/A for dimming. Mounting plates are available for both apertures: LCPLATE-3 for 3 inch and LCPLATE-4 for 4 inch.
Where it works and what to readThink condo hallways every 3 to 4 feet, a bathroom vanity pair, closet lighting, a restaurant aiming light at tables, a boutique grazing a display wall, or a basement finish where ceiling height is precious. For multi-finish projects, combine it with the
black 3" DLX round downlight in darker ceilings and the
brushed aluminum 3" DLX round downlight in modern kitchens. The full technical PDF spec sheet, with the drawing, cut-out dimensions, trim options and the complete compatible dimmer table, is available in the Documentation tab — worth a look before you order your quantities.
