Small aperture, big impact: this 3" square LED recessed downlight is the clean, modern alternative to the round pot light everyone knows. People search for it as a square downlight, a square gimbal recessed light, a 3 inch LED downlight or simply a recessed LED light — whatever you call it, it is the same idea: a discreet square trim that sits nearly flush in the ceiling and puts light exactly where you aim it. Because the optic is a gimbal, you can tilt the beam to graze a stone wall, wash a row of cabinets, highlight artwork or light a reading corner instead of just flooding the floor. Its frosted diffuser softens the source so you see the light, not the diode, which makes it a favourite for kitchens, hallways, bathrooms, basements, offices and retail displays. SKU LCDLX3S-CCT-8W-BN comes with a brushed nickel trim for a subtle metallic accent on white, wood or dark ceilings.

Under the hood, this 8W LED downlight delivers 784 lumens with a focused 40° beam angle, so you get real punch from a compact fixture. The CRI of >80 keeps skin tones, wood grain and paint colours looking honest. Five selectable colour temperatures — 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K and 5000K — are set with a toggle switch on the junction box, so one part number covers a cozy living room and a crisp work area. It runs on 110-130VAC with a power factor >0.94, is Triac dimmable with compatible dimmers, is Type IC rated and approved for damp locations, and is cETLus certified with a 5 year warranty. The trim is 3 and 4 inch interchangeable: cut-out 2.56" - 2.95" (65 - 75 mm) for 3 inch, or 3" - 4.25" (78 - 108 mm) for 4 inch.

It shines in Canadian renovations where ceiling space is tight — bungalow basements, condo hallways, kitchen soffits — and in new builds, boutiques, clinics, cafés and offices that want a crisp square look. Since the trim is interchangeable, the optional mounting plates LCPLATE-3 and LCPLATE-4 let you close an oversized or reused hole cleanly. Mixing finishes across a project? Pair it with the same fixture in black square recessed downlight or white square recessed downlight. Plan your layout, confirm your dimmer, and give your ceiling the finish it deserves.

Design and light quality
This square recessed LED downlight uses a frosted diffuser to soften the light source and spread illumination evenly, so you get a comfortable beam instead of a glaring dot. The gimbal head lets you aim the 40° beam where it matters — down a backsplash, across a feature wall, onto a display shelf — which is exactly what a fixed pot light cannot do. With a CRI of >80, skin tones, wood finishes and paint colours look natural, something you notice immediately in kitchens, bathrooms, retail displays and anywhere details count. The brushed nickel trim of LCDLX3S-CCT-8W-BN adds a soft metallic accent that flatters stainless appliances and modern hardware.

Flexibility on site
Five selectable colour temperatures 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. One fixture goes from a warm, relaxed glow in living spaces to a crisp neutral white in work areas, which means contractors carry fewer part numbers and homeowners can change their mind after installation. The unit is Triac base dimmable, so evenings can be soft and mornings bright. Verified compatible dimmers include Lutron S-603P, CTCL-153P, TG600P, DV600P, LG600P, SCL-153P, MAW-600, LGCL-153P, 7SCL-153P, 600PH, DV-600P, 6838, CTELV-303P, CTCL-153PD, as well as Leviton 6633-P, 1C33L1 and 6674.

Installation and compatibility
The slim housing is made for shallow ceiling cavities and remodel work, and the Type IC rating means it can be used where insulation contact applies. Damp location approval opens the door to covered porches, bathrooms and other humid spots. Because the trim is 3 and 4 inch interchangeable, one fixture serves two cut-out sizes; the mounting plates LCPLATE-3 and LCPLATE-4 are available when you need to finish a hole neatly or reuse an existing opening. Before cutting, plan your layout so fixtures sit evenly between joists and away from ductwork, keep consistent spacing from the walls for a balanced wash of light, and confirm dimmer compatibility ahead of time to avoid flicker. Electrical work should always be done by a qualified person.

Applications and documentation
Think of a kitchen island lit by a row of these 3 inch square downlights, a hallway in a condo where ceiling depth is minimal, a basement family room set at 3000K, an office or clinic corridor set at 4000K, or a boutique where the gimbal heads are tilted toward the merchandise wall. For a coordinated look across a whole floor, mix finishes with the black version of this square downlight and the white version of this square downlight. The full technical PDF, including the technical drawing, the trim options, the colour temperature toggle chart and the compatible dimmer list, is available in the Documentation tab.
