Construction and designThe DLXS is a
square gimbal downlight built around a compact housing that slips into standard ceiling cavities, which is exactly what you want in a renovation where joists and ductwork rarely cooperate. The body measures 45 mm (1.8") deep with a 63 mm (2.5") section and a 33 mm (1.33") detail, while the visible
black square trim spans 108 mm (4.25"). The gimbal lets you tilt the light engine to aim the beam, so a straight row of fixtures can still wash a stone wall or highlight a kitchen island. The trim is interchangeable between 3 and 4 inches, and the same platform is offered in white, black and brushed aluminum trims, making it easy to keep one look across a whole floor.
Light quality and colour selectionAt
8W the fixture delivers
784lm in a
40° beam, a tighter spread than a wide flood, which gives you crisp pools of light and good punch on counters, art and merchandise. Five colour temperatures are built in — 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K and 5000K — and you choose one with the toggle switch on the junction box: upper position for 2700K, second for 3000K, middle for 3500K, fourth for 4000K, lower for 5000K. That means warm 2700K in a bedroom, neutral 3500K in a hallway and crisp 5000K in a garage or workshop, all from identical fixtures. With a
CRI >80, wood grain, paint and fabrics read true instead of washed out.

Installation, dimming and compatibilityWiring is straightforward: the fixture runs on
110 - 130VAC line voltage through its junction box, so no separate driver shelf to find room for. Cut a 3" to 4.25" (78 - 108 mm) opening for the 4" trim, or 2.56" - 2.95" (65 - 75 mm) if you use the 3" trim, then let the spring clips pull the fixture flush. Because it is
Type IC rated and approved for
damp locations, it can go into insulated ceilings and into bathrooms, covered porches and soffits. For smooth
Triac dimming, the spec sheet lists tested dimmers including the Lutron S-603P, CTCL-153P, DV600P, SCL-153P and the Leviton 6633-P, 1C33L1 and 6674; note that the Lutron MS-VP600G is listed as N/A for dimming. Mounting plates are available in 4 inch (LCPLATE-4) and 3 inch (LCPLATE-3) versions for surface or retrofit situations.
Applications and documentationThink renovated kitchens on a grid over the counters, hallway runs in a condo, a boutique changing room, a dental office corridor, or a café where square trims echo the tile. The
cETLus certification and 5 year warranty give contractors and building owners confidence on a bid, and a
39,000hrs rated life keeps maintenance calls rare in high ceilings and stairwells. The complete
technical PDF (LCDLX4S-CCT-8W-BK Spec Sheet) is in the Documentation tab with the technical drawing, cut-out sizes, trim options and the full compatible dimmer list. If part of your project calls for a lighter trim, pair this black version with the
LED recessed 4" DLX square - 8W in white and keep the same light output room to room.
