The 8-inch Round Recessed LED Downlight delivers precise optical performance, superior glare control, and customizable versatility for a wide range of architectural applications. Its batwing optical distribution produces uniform, wide-angled light that spreads evenly across horizontal and vertical planes, creating smooth, shadow-free environments without visible hot spots or rings. With a 45° cutoff and multiple beam angle selections—including very narrow, narrow, medium, medium wide, and wide options—the luminaire delivers precise light shaping suited to diverse ceiling heights and spatial layouts. Available trim styles include self-flanged and shower options, supporting both standard and wet location installations.
Performance excellence defines this recessed downlight, capable of delivering 2,000 to 3,000 lumens of high-quality, visually comfortable light with exceptional control. The proprietary Bounding Ray™ optical technology eliminates flash and enhances glare suppression, ensuring visual comfort across all applications. The fixture offers up to ten driver options compatible with multiple dimming protocols, including 0–10V, DALI, DMX, digital, and forward-phase systems. It integrates seamlessly with nLight® wired and wireless control platforms, allowing flexible networked lighting management. Optional emergency battery backup ensures reliability in critical environments such as healthcare, hospitality, and commercial spaces.
The downlight’s construction and finish options are tailored for complete design flexibility. Reflectors are available in semi-specular, matte diffuse, and specular finishes, while trim colors span black, clear, gold, pewter, wheat, and white, ensuring visual harmony across diverse interiors. Ceiling compatibility includes metal, wood, drywall, and suspended grid types, giving specifiers full freedom in architectural integration. The unit’s housing is built from 16-gauge galvanized steel with preinstalled telescopic mounting bars extending from 15 to 32 inches, providing 4 inches of vertical adjustment and tool-less alignment for quick and accurate installation. Luminaires can accommodate ceiling thicknesses up to 1½ inches standard, or up to 5 inches with an adapter.
Optical precision is achieved through a fully serviceable and upgradeable lensed LED light engine accessible from below the ceiling for simplified maintenance. The unitized optical assembly mechanically connects the light engine to the lower reflector, guaranteeing complete alignment and consistent beam quality. With a 45° cutoff to the source and source image, and a top-down flash characteristic, the fixture ensures optimal visual comfort. The LED module maintains 70% of its lumen output at 60,000 hours and operates within a 2.5-step MacAdam ellipse for superior color consistency. Options for 85 CRI and 90+ CRI allow accurate color rendering across a range of color temperatures from 2700K to 4000K.
Electrical integrity underpins the luminaire’s reliability. It operates from a 50 or 60 Hz AC line across voltages ranging from 120V to 277V, with stable output unaffected by line fluctuations. The driver maintains over 80% efficiency at full load and a power factor above 0.9, ensuring electrical stability and performance consistency. Rated Sound Class A+, the driver remains inaudible in a 24dB environment and adheres to IEEE P1789 flicker standards, guaranteeing flicker-free dimming down to 10%, 1%, or 0.1% of rated output with smooth shutoff. Input wiring utilizes 18AWG solid copper conductors rated for 300V minimum.
This luminaire is CSA certified for wet location covered ceilings, meeting UL safety standards for U.S. and Canadian markets. LEDs are tested to LM-80 standards, with photometric performance validated by LM-79-08 testing in accredited laboratories. Over its operational lifetime, lumen output remains consistent with less than 30% depreciation, and chromaticity remains stable within a tolerance of <2.5 SDCM even after 6,000 hours of use. With a standard ambient rating of 25°C, it withstands typical mechanical vibration and environmental variations found in commercial installations.
Combining optical precision, versatile configuration, and durable construction, the 8-inch Round Recessed LED Downlight adapts effortlessly to diverse applications such as education, healthcare, hospitality, retail, offices, houses of worship, residential projects, and recreation facilities. Its robust housing, optical refinement, and extensive control options establish it as a reliable architectural lighting solution capable of meeting stringent design and performance criteria in both standard and specialized environments.
