The 2-inch LED downlight with Chicago Plenum (CCEA) approval combines a sleek, designer aesthetic with performance tailored for both residential and commercial interiors. IC rated for installation in insulated or non-insulated ceilings, this luminaire produces up to 1000 lumens while consuming as little as 10 watts, approximating the output and beam distribution of a 75W MR16 halogen lamp. The fixture is rated for 50,000 hours of life and comes with a five-year limited warranty on LED components. Its CCEA marking ensures compliance with the City of Chicago electrical code specifications for environmental air spaces, commonly referred to as “Chicago Plenum.”
The LED light engine offers exceptional color consistency between fixtures within a three-step MacAdam ellipse, with available color temperatures of 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, and 4000K, and a minimum CRI of 80 or 90. Modular optics provide field-interchangeable beam patterns in 18° spot, 24° narrow flood, or 40° flood distributions. Trim aesthetics include a die-cast beveled knife edge ring for a clean ceiling interface, available in white, black, satin nickel, or brushed bronze finishes, with matching die-cast baffles for uniform appearance.
The LED driver is available in a dedicated 120-volt version or a universal voltage (MVOLT) option accommodating 120–277 volts AC at 50/60Hz, with a power factor greater than 0.9. The 120-volt driver is compatible with most incandescent, magnetic low voltage, and electronic low voltage dimmers, while the universal driver is compatible with most 0-10V protocol dimmers. The fixture maintains consistent color temperature throughout the dimming range and is rated for 50,000 hours at 70% lumen maintenance.
Certified for wet locations, the fixture carries UL and cUL listings, 90 CRI compliance with California Title 24 JA8-2019 high efficacy requirements, and meets ASTM E283 air leakage standards. The junction box includes seven ½” and one 5/8” knockouts with pryout slots and push-in electrical connectors for secure field connections. The housing is compatible with IC or non-IC new construction ceilings with thicknesses from ½” to 1”, with the option for ceilings up to 1 ½” using part 2JCTA150. The 2CPNC housing requires 2x8 construction, and the LED driver and trim module install directly into the 2CPNC housing with the provided conduit connector.
The Chicago Plenum new construction housing, 2CPNC, incorporates the patented telescoping Real Nail® 3 bar hanger system, which allows for quick placement anywhere within 24” on-center joists or suspended ceilings. A removable nail permits repositioning of the fixture in wood joist construction, and the integral T-bar notch and clip accommodate suspended ceiling grids. This patented system (US Patent D552,969) simplifies installation while maintaining precise alignment and stability.
The 2-inch LED trim module is compatible with Juno 2" driver housing (2LEDDRIVER) and is offered in a variety of styles and finishes, including black, bronze, nickel, unfinished, and white. The square module supports lumen outputs of 600 or 1000 lumens and color temperatures of 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, or 4000K. Dimming protocols include 0-10V, forward phase, reverse phase, and Triac, while the recessed mounting ensures seamless integration into ceilings. Voltage rating spans 120–277V, with fixture wattages of 7.5 or 11.5 watts, making it a versatile solution for sophisticated, low-profile LED lighting in wet or damp locations.
