The Juno® MD1LG2 Mini Recessed LED Downlight for Wet Locations delivers powerful, compact lighting solutions ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications where space is limited. This second-generation mini LED maintains a remarkably low power draw of less than 5 watts while producing 300 lumens of crisp white light, representing a 50% increase in output compared to the original model and outperforming traditional 20-watt MR11 halogen lamps. Its small, round form factor allows installation in tight spaces such as outdoor eaves, bathrooms, or other wet locations without compromising performance.
Available in black, bronze, white, or nickel finishes, the fixture provides multiple color temperature options including 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, and 4000K, with 80 or 90 CRI typical to ensure accurate, consistent color rendering. The mini downlight accommodates three beam patterns—spot (16°), narrow flood (24°), or flood (35°)—and features a deeply regressed lensed LED source within a matching internal reflector to reduce glare and create a focused, comfortable visual effect. Field replacement of the optical lenses is not recommended, as the fixture is designed for reliable long-term performance.
The MD1LG2 wet location model is IC-rated, supporting both insulated and non-insulated ceilings. It requires a remote-mounted Class 2, 120V to 12V AC electronic or magnetic transformer for operation, specifically compatible with Juno TL602E electronic or MAGXFMR magnetic transformers. Dimming is possible using forward-phase or reverse-phase dimmers tested and qualified by Juno, with color temperature remaining constant across the dimming range. The LED engine is rated for 50,000 hours of operation at 70% lumen maintenance, and the components carry a five-year limited warranty.
Construction of the housing emphasizes durability and corrosion resistance. The die-cast aluminum body is finished with either a painted coating or E-coated plated finishes to maintain aesthetic quality in wet environments. The wiring compartment includes a removable access plate and a four-pole terminal block for secure, efficient connections. The fixture is UL and cUL listed for wet locations and daisy chaining, and it is RoHS compliant. Zinc-plated torsion clips come pre-assembled, allowing fast and secure installation or removal in ceiling materials ranging from 1/8” to 1” thick. The downlight requires a 2-inch cutout, compatible with standard hole saw sizes, simplifying installation while maintaining a clean, professional appearance.
Combining minimal footprint, high output, wet location compatibility, and flexible optical control, the Juno MD1LG2 Mini Recessed LED Downlight is ideal for residential and commercial applications where reliable, low-glare, and precise accent lighting is essential.
