The Semi-Regressed LED Wafer™ Downlight combines a sleek, canless form with flexible performance, making it an ideal solution for both new construction and renovation projects. Available in 4-inch and 6-inch round sizes, these downlights eliminate the need for traditional recessed housings by installing directly into the ceiling. With a total plenum depth requirement of just 3 inches, the fixture and remote driver box are both IC-rated, allowing safe installation in direct contact with insulation. Their wet location listing further expands their versatility, making them equally suited for residential, hospitality, light commercial, and multifamily environments, both indoors and out.
Each Semi-Regressed Wafer Downlight integrates a convenient 5CCT switch, enabling easy selection of color temperatures—2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, or 5000K—during installation. This tunable white capability ensures flexibility in achieving the desired visual tone, from warm ambient light to crisp daylight brightness. The fixture delivers lumen outputs ranging from 650 to 1300 lumens depending on the size and wattage configuration, while maintaining a high color rendering index (CRI) of 90 for accurate, natural color representation. With voltage options including 120V, 120–277V, and MVOLT, and dimming compatibility down to 10% using standard 0–10V protocols, the fixture offers reliable, flicker-free performance across a variety of lighting control systems.
The semi-regressed optical design is a defining feature of the Wafer Downlight. Its baffle trim incorporates a ½-inch regression, effectively reducing glare and shadowing to create a comfortable, evenly lit environment. The regressed lens and precisely contoured baffle optimize light distribution, enhancing visual comfort without sacrificing brightness. Constructed with an edge-lit LED system, the fixture utilizes a high-quality polycarbonate light guide plate to deliver consistent, even illumination across the ceiling plane. The 4-inch model produces over 650 lumens while consuming just 9 watts, and the 6-inch version achieves over 970 lumens at 13 watts—making both efficient replacements for traditional 65W and 75W incandescent downlights.
Durability and ease of installation are built into every aspect of the Wafer Downlight’s design. The die-cast aluminum mounting frame with an integral polycarbonate flange provides robust passive thermal management, ensuring an L70 lifetime of 50,000 hours. A non-conductive dead-front trim design meets various electrical code requirements, and the lens assembly is regressed for improved glare control. The fixture connects to its remote driver box via a plenum-rated FT4 three-pin cable connector. Installation is simplified with steel spring clips, provided ceiling cutout templates (4¼ inches for the WF4, 6¼ inches for the WF6), and compatibility with ceiling thicknesses from 3/8 inch to 1½ inches. Both models can also be easily removed from below the ceiling for servicing or replacement.
The LED light engine is thermally bonded to a one-piece, high-purity aluminum housing that ensures optimal heat dissipation and long-term reliability. Color accuracy is maintained within a four-step McAdam ellipse at the color temperature extremes (2700K and 5000K) and within six steps for intermediate settings, ensuring consistent, high-quality white light throughout the fixture’s lifespan. The constant-current driver, housed in a steel remote box with multiple knockouts, provides quiet, efficient operation and includes a 12-cubic-inch wiring compartment for simplified daisy-chain connections. The system’s compact design requires only 2 inches of plenum space and is suitable for both standard and T-grid ceiling installations, including use with a universal new construction pan.
Available in trim finishes such as white, black, bronze, and nickel, the Semi-Regressed LED Wafer Downlight brings together performance, design, and adaptability in a low-profile form factor. Its glare-reducing semi-regressed lens, selectable white technology, and canless installation make it a versatile and efficient lighting choice for virtually any application—from upscale residential interiors to contemporary hospitality and light commercial spaces.
