The RGBW recessed linear LED slot light is a secure, ligature-resistant solution that introduces a dynamic color capability to environments where safety, durability, and controlled visual effects are essential. Offered in standard lengths from 2 to 6 feet, it functions as a dynamic color solution that enables safe color changing for behavioral health spaces and any other locations requiring secure linear slots. As a 2.5-inch recessed linear slot luminaire, it is suitable for both interior and covered ceiling exterior applications and is used widely in airports, behavioral health facilities, educational buildings, and mass transit environments. The fixture utilizes an LED RGBW light source with an 80+ CRI, operates on a 120–277V input, and supports dynamic color output controlled through DMX. Its recessed mounting configuration and 3-3/4-inch fixture depth make it well suited for new construction installations.
This RGBW slot light carries numerous listings and safety credentials, including Build America, Buy America (BABAA), Declare Listed, IK10 impact resistance, IP66 ingress protection, Level 2 Infection Control compliance, and vandal-resistant construction. It is LM-80 qualified and LM-79 certified, supporting demanding applications where durability and reliability are crucial. The shallow extruded aluminum housing is paired with a vandal- and ligature-resistant frame, supplied in a standard white finish, and includes a flat 0.22-inch polycarbonate lens secured with discreet tamperproof screws positioned along the frame edge. For installation convenience and security, tamperproof tools—one hex key per ten fixtures and one FlexDrive bit per order—are provided, with additional FlexDrive bits available separately. The luminaire maintains performance across a broad temperature range, from –30°C to 60°C (–22°F to 140°F), making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor covered-ceiling conditions.
The fixture includes anti-pixellation optical film above the polycarbonate lens, ensuring smooth, uniform, and visually comfortable light output across the RGBW spectrum. Quad-chip RGBW LEDs contribute a rich color palette that supports full-spectrum visual expression, enabling patient-centric or mood-supportive lighting strategies in sensitive environments. Lighting control is enabled via a standard 3-wire DMX data connection compatible with systems supplied by others. Each fixture supports DMX control at per-fixture resolution, with a minimum control length of four feet of Strait Secure Slot. An optional Kirlin DMX wall panel (VND-DMXWP) allows localized scene changes, arriving preloaded with standard scene configurations and presets; custom programs are available through factory consultation.
The luminaire installs securely into hard ceilings up to 1⅛ inches thick using #6 sheetrock fasteners supplied by others. Minimum spacing between fixtures or between fixture and wall is 1.75 inches when using the included hex key and 6.5 inches between fixtures or 6.0 inches between fixture and wall when using the FlexDrive bit. The recessed, vandal-resistant trim and lens assembly ensure a robust, secure presence in high-risk or high-traffic environments, and the ligature-resistant single-piece aluminum frame supports safe use in behavioral health applications. UL and C-UL listings cover damp and dry locations in covered ceilings, and Type IC approval allows direct contact with insulation, making this RGBW recessed slot light a fully compliant, secure, and visually dynamic solution for specialized architectural lighting needs.
