The IVO™ 6" Square Deep Regressed LED Wall Wash Downlight represents the pinnacle of visual comfort, precision optics, and installation flexibility within a single modular system. This fixture expands the versatility of the IVO™ family, redefining architectural downlighting through its meticulous optical design, perfect color consistency, and intelligent control integration. Built for new construction applications, the deep regressed configuration enhances visual comfort by recessing the light source for reduced glare and superior architectural definition.
At the heart of the luminaire is Gotham’s proprietary Bounding Ray™ optical system, which shapes the light to highlight architectural surfaces with exceptional uniformity while minimizing glare and visual fatigue. Perfect Color™ technology ensures true color fidelity through a proprietary binning process that maintains a 0.5-step MacAdam ellipse consistency—an achievement that surpasses industry norms. The patent-pending optical system delivers precise, clean beams with options for field-interchangeable distributions ranging from 10° to 60° in 5° increments. A smooth batwing distribution further enhances uniform vertical and wall illumination, maintaining visual balance from floor to ceiling.
The deep regressed design optimizes visual comfort within a compact 6.2-inch housing height while delivering up to 2,000 lumens. A quick plug-and-play module connection provides streamlined installation and service flexibility. A toolless twist-and-lock trim mechanism allows for easy field interchangeability of optics and trims, enabling quick adaptation to project requirements or aesthetic changes.
Each IVO fixture can be tailored with a comprehensive range of trims and finishes. Cone and Bevel styles are available in flanged, flangeless, or flangeless millwork options, ensuring compatibility across diverse ceiling treatments. Standard trim finishes include black, bronze, clear, gold, pewter, silver, wheat, and white, with custom RAL finishes available upon request. The modularity of trims and optics supports true design flexibility while maintaining a consistent architectural appearance across multiple environments.
The optical system delivers an asymmetric wall wash distribution that ensures smooth uniformity across vertical planes. A batwing lateral distribution reduces scalloping and widens wall coverage, allowing for ideal 1:1 spacing between fixtures and wall surfaces. The light engine employs custom-binned LEDs with consistency within 0.5 MacAdam steps and maintains 90% lumen performance at 55,000 hours. Available in 80, 90, or 95 CRI options, it ensures exceptional rendering of rich, saturated colors. The 90 CRI configuration achieves an R9 value greater than 50, while the 95 CRI variant reaches an R9 above 80 for enhanced color accuracy in demanding visual environments.
The IVO 6" downlight accommodates lumen packages ranging from 500 to 8,000 lumens, delivering up to 101 lumens per watt with an L90 lifetime rating of 60,000 hours. IEEE flicker-free EldoLED drivers maintain stability under varying voltage conditions and support multiple dimming levels down to 0.1% with smooth fade-to-off performance. Available dimming protocols include 0–10V, DALI, DMX, Forward Phase, and ELV, offering seamless integration into architectural control systems.
For enhanced control functionality, the fixture can be equipped with nLight® wired or nLight® Air interfaces. When connected via CAT-5 cabling, nLight wired configurations create control zones that enable synchronized dimming, scheduling, and occupancy response. The nLight Air option enables wireless communication through the CLAIRITY+ mobile app, allowing quick pairing, fixture grouping, and intuitive adjustment from smartphones or tablets. Both options support integration with SensorView™ software for network monitoring and management, and can coexist with DALI®, BACnet®, DMX, and third-party control systems for scalable building-wide control.
For critical applications, optional emergency battery configurations (E7W, E10W, or E15W) comply with NFPA 101 Life Safety Code, providing a minimum of 90 minutes of maintained illumination during power loss. The batteries are CEC Title 20 compliant and accessible from below the ceiling for ease of maintenance.
Installation simplicity is at the core of the IVO design. Patent-pending wire-form mounting springs accommodate various ceiling thicknesses while maintaining precise tension and flush trim alignment. The luminaire can be installed in ceilings from ⅝" to 2" thick, with adapters available for up to 3" ceilings. Universal butterfly brackets allow vertical adjustment up to 2.5" and compatibility with C-channels, flat straps, conduit, or angle bars. Hanger bars extend from 8.5" to 24", supporting straightforward integration across a range of ceiling structures. All connections and servicing—including light engine, driver, and branch circuit wiring—are accessible from below the ceiling without tools, streamlining maintenance and reducing downtime.
The construction features a robust combination of galvanized and cold-rolled steel, ensuring durability and rigidity within architectural spaces. Fixtures meet CSA, NOM, and UL wet location standards for covered ceilings and are ROHS compliant. Electrical specifications include multi-volt operation from 120V to 347V AC at 50/60 Hz with a power factor above 85%. EMI/RFI compliance meets FCC Title 47 CFR, Part 15, Class A standards, ensuring interference-free performance in commercial environments.
Photometric testing is conducted to IESNA LM-79-08 standards, while LED reliability is validated through LM-80 testing and TM-21 lumen maintenance projections. Title 24 and Energy Star compliance ensure adherence to code and environmental requirements. The IVO line also meets Build America, Buy America (BABA) and Buy American Act (BAA) provisions, qualifying as a domestic end product under federal standards.
For installations requiring a refined, minimalistic finish, Gotham’s flangeless option employs a micro-thin polymer mud ring that integrates seamlessly into drywall or millwork surfaces. This floating design reduces cracking, simplifies ceiling repair, and creates an almost invisible transition between luminaire and architecture. For wood ceilings, the millwork adapter system ensures precise alignment and secure attachment using finishing nails, maintaining a smooth, flush aesthetic upon trim installation.
Through every aspect—from optics and color precision to modularity, control integration, and installation ease—the IVO™ 6" Square Deep Regressed LED Wall Wash Downlight exemplifies architectural excellence. It supports lighting designers, contractors, and facility managers in achieving high-quality visual environments across applications such as hospitality, education, healthcare, retail, government, and office spaces, while maintaining the versatility and consistency required for cohesive, modern lighting design.
