Built for tight ceilingsThis
square gimbal downlight was designed for renovation reality: shallow cavities, crowded joist bays and ceilings that already have plumbing or ductwork in the way. The housing is only 45 mm (1.8") deep, the visible square face measures 63 mm (2.5"), and the junction box sits at 108 mm (4.25") with a 33 mm (1.33") profile, so the whole assembly slips into places a can light simply won't go. The trim is
interchangeable between 3" and 4", which means the same fixture can cover a 3" cut-out of 2.56"–2.95" (65–75 mm) or a 4" cut-out of 3"–4.25" (78–108 mm) — very handy when you're replacing older
recessed lighting and the existing holes aren't consistent.
Light quality you can tuneOutput is
784 lumens drawn from just
8 W, delivered through a
40° beam angle that concentrates light on the counter, the floor or the wall instead of spilling across the room. With a
CRI greater than 80, skin tones, wood grain and paint colours stay honest. The five-position toggle switch on the junction box sets the colour: upper position for 2700K, second for 3000K, middle for 3500K, fourth for 4000K and lower for 5000K. Choose 2700K or 3000K for bedrooms and living rooms, 3500K or 4000K for kitchens and offices, 5000K for garages, workshops and retail displays.

Wiring, dimming and compatibilityThe fixture runs on standard
110–130 VAC line voltage with an integrated driver in the junction box, so there's no remote transformer to hide above the ceiling. Being
Type IC rated, it can sit in direct contact with insulation, and the power factor above 0.94 keeps the circuit efficient when you gang several on one run. Dimming is
Triac (forward phase): the spec sheet lists tested dimmers including Lutron S-603P, CTCL-153P, TG600P, DV600P, LG600P, SCL-153P, MAW-600, LGCL-153P, 7SCL-153P, 600PH, DV-600P, 6838, CTELV-303P, CTCL-153PD and Leviton 6633-P, 1C33L1 and 6674. Matching mounting plates are referenced as LCPLATE-3 for 3" and LCPLATE-4 for 4" installations.
Applications and documentationThink rows of
kitchen downlights above an island, aimed heads grazing a stone fireplace, a hallway washed evenly from wall to wall, or a boutique where adjustable beams highlight shelving. The damp location approval extends it to covered entries, well-ventilated bathrooms and laundry areas. For a two-tone ceiling, mix this white trim with the
black 3" DLX square downlight or the
brushed aluminum 3" DLX square downlight — same body, same output, different accent. The complete technical PDF spec sheet, with the drawing, the colour temperature settings and the full dimmer list, is in the Documentation tab.
