The EVO® 6" round shower LED downlight provides uniform, wide-angled general light coverage for horizontal and vertical surfaces, creating smooth edges and an even layer without hot spots or rings. Its batwing optical distribution delivers a 45° cutoff, medium-wide beam angles, and options for flush or regressed lens trims. The fixture is suitable for both new construction and retrofit applications in shower environments, combining robust performance with customizable aesthetic finishes in white, black, or optional antimicrobial paint.
Performance is enhanced through Bounding Ray™ technology, which eliminates flash and ensures superior glare control. The downlight produces lumen outputs ranging from 250 to 4,500 LM and offers 85 CRI typical, with 90+ CRI optional, maintaining 70% of its lumen output over 60,000 hours. The fixture carries CSA certification, wet location and IP66 ratings, and NSF2 compliance for non-food splash zones. Emergency battery backup capability is available, while compatibility with nTune Tunable White and WarmDim dynamic lighting solutions provides flexible color control for diverse applications, including education, healthcare, hospitality, residential, showers, and sports and recreation spaces.
The EVO 6" round downlight supports a wide range of driver options, including 0-10V, DALI, and DC2DC low-voltage digital architectures, alongside nLight wired or wireless network controls. The DC2DC architecture optimizes efficiency by distributing low-voltage DC power directly to LED luminaires, reducing AC-to-DC conversion costs, simplifying installation and commissioning, and supporting lighting designs focused on sustainability and occupant well-being. The fixture is capable of continuous dimming from 100% to 0.1% with flicker-free performance, conforming to IEEE P1789 standards, while drivers operate silently in environments as low as 24 dB and maintain stability under typical commercial voltage fluctuations.
The optical assembly is fully serviceable and upgradeable, with unitized optics mechanically attached to the lower reflector for precise alignment. Both the driver and light engine are accessible for maintenance from above or below the ceiling. The luminaire housing is constructed of 16-gauge galvanized steel and includes preinstalled telescopic mounting bars with up to 32" extension, 4" vertical adjustment, and tool-less post-installation adjustments. It accommodates ceilings up to 1½" thick, with optional adapters extending installation to 5" ceiling thickness, and maintains proper clearances for non-combustible materials or insulation.
Electrical specifications include operation over 52.3 to 57.0 VDC with a power factor exceeding 90% at all standard operating voltages. Input wires are 18AWG, 300V minimum, solid copper, and all drivers comply with ROHS standards. The fixture has a sound rating of A+ and meets CSA standards for US and Canadian compliance, while LEDs are tested to LM-80 and LM-79-08 standards. Lumen output is guaranteed to decrease no more than 30% over 60,000 hours, with consistent color appearance within a 2.5 MacAdam ellipse.
Assembled in the USA, the EVO 6" round shower downlight meets Buy America(n) and Build America, Buy America requirements under FAR, DFARS, and DOT regulations, qualifying as a domestic end product and supporting government procurement compliance. The combination of high-quality optics, dynamic lighting options, versatile installation, and rigorous performance certifications make this downlight ideal for showers, wet locations, and specialized applications requiring reliable, consistent, and visually comfortable lighting.
