The ZC down light is specifically designed for outdoor spaces where recessed down lights are impractical, making it an ideal choice for modern architectural applications. Its sleek design complements contemporary environments while providing efficient, high-quality illumination.
Constructed from durable die-cast aluminum or copper, the ZC features stainless steel hardware and mounting brackets to ensure long-lasting performance in exterior conditions. The fixture incorporates MoistureBlock™ technology in the socket to prevent moisture from penetrating sealed areas, enhancing reliability and lifespan. The integrated Cree® LED modules boast gold-plated connectors and conformal coatings for superior corrosion resistance, while the intelligent onboard driver uses firmware-controlled temperature regulation to maximize LED longevity. These LEDs are field upgradeable and replaceable, with a rated life of approximately 55,000 hours.
The ZC operates on a low input voltage range of 10 to 15 VAC/VDC at 50/60 Hz and requires a remote transformer, specified separately. Its optics include a polycarbonate color temperature adjustment lens preset to 2,700K, with beam angles calculated using the LM-79 method for solid-state lighting fixtures. The tempered glass lens provides shock resistance and tolerates thermal expansion and stress, ensuring durability. The fixture is available in configurations supporting 1LED, 3LED, or ZDC integrated LEDs, with various dimming options including phase and PWM dimming, compatible with Luxor® zoning and dimming technology for advanced control.
The exterior finish offers two-layer protection through sulfuric acid anodization and a polyester TGIC powder coat, delivering exceptional weather resistance tested to ASTM standards. For those seeking a more natural aesthetic, a copper finish option is also available. The ZC is rated for operation within an ambient temperature range of -4°F to 104°F (-20°C to 40°C) and weighs approximately 1.3 pounds (0.6 kg).
Control options include Luxor ZD or ZDC technology, which allow grouping of fixtures into up to 250 zones, dimming in 1% increments between 0 and 100%, and, with RGBW LEDs, the ability to select from 30,000 colors. The standard fixture supports zoning through Luxor, with ZD options enabling zoning and dimming, and ZDC options adding full color control. Designed for vertical surface installation, the ZC meets International Dark-Sky Association criteria when paired with light sources at 3,000K or lower, ensuring responsible outdoor lighting that minimizes light pollution.
