The IVO™ 6" Square Shallow Recessed Wall Wash represents a new era in architectural downlighting, where modularity, optical refinement, and installation flexibility converge in a single platform. As part of the broader IVO™ family, this luminaire delivers visual comfort, aesthetic versatility, and exceptional performance through precision optics and an advanced light engine. Available for both new construction and remodel applications, it supports a wide range of indoor environments — from commercial offices and hospitality spaces to healthcare, retail, and institutional projects — offering a seamless lighting experience that prioritizes quality, efficiency, and design integrity.
At the heart of the IVO™ system lies Bounding Ray™ optical design, a principle that controls brightness while emphasizing architectural form and minimizing glare. This optical approach achieves top-down flash control, allowing simultaneous visibility of the light source and its image without discomfort. The patented optical system integrates a mechanically attached light engine and trim, maintaining exact optical alignment and providing 45° or 65° visual cutoff to eliminate hot spots. The IVO™’s Perfect Color™ Technology ensures superior color uniformity, achieving an exceptional 0.5-step MacAdam ellipse—far exceeding the industry’s standard 3-step consistency. This meticulous color control guarantees seamless fixture-to-fixture uniformity, ideal for cohesive lighting across connected spaces.
Optical performance is equally remarkable, with patent-pending, field-interchangeable optics that allow beam customization from 10° to 60° in 5° increments, along with batwing distributions for uniform wall washing. Lumen packages ranging from 500 to 8,000 lumens deliver up to 101 lumens per watt, achieving L90 at 60,000 hours of longevity. Combined with IEEE-compliant flicker-free performance powered by eldoLED drivers, the IVO™ downlight guarantees visual comfort and long-term stability. All units are tested to LM-79 and LM-80 standards, with lumen maintenance calculated under TM-21 guidelines, ensuring dependable photometric performance over time.
Every detail of the IVO™ 6" Wall Wash is crafted for flexibility and serviceability. The shallow configuration achieves high output—up to 5,000 lumens—within a plenum depth of just 3.5 inches, making it ideal for limited ceiling spaces. A quick-disconnect harness and strain relief system simplifies inspection, maintenance, and replacement. The tool-free twist-and-lock trim design enables effortless field interchangeability of trims and optics, offering cone and bevel styles in both flanged and flangeless options, including specialized flangeless millwork installations for wood ceilings. The flangeless ceiling integration system utilizes a micro-thin polymer mud ring that floats with the ceiling, reducing cracking and ensuring a seamless finish, while the millwork adapter system guarantees a clean, precise fit with minimal labor.
The luminaire is constructed from 20-gauge galvanized steel, ensuring rigidity and long-term durability. Mounting hardware includes telescopic bars with 10.5"–24" extensions, vertical adjustability, and compatibility with multiple bracket types, conduit sizes, and ceiling materials. Installation accommodates ceiling thicknesses between 5/8" and 2" using patented retention springs, with both IC and non-IC options available. Fixtures are rated for damp and wet locations and certified under CSA and NOM standards, suitable for covered ceiling applications.
Electrical and control capabilities are equally comprehensive. The IVO™ supports universal voltage operation from 120V to 347V AC at 50/60 Hz, maintaining a power factor above 85% and stable luminous output across voltage fluctuations. The light engine operates with 80, 90, or 95 CRI options, with R9 values exceeding 50 and 80 respectively for the highest fidelity in color rendering. Multiple dimming protocols are available, including 0–10V, DALI, DMX, Forward Phase, ELV, and eldoLED ECOdrive or SOLOdrive drivers with smooth dimming down to <1%. The system also meets Title 24 and Energy Star requirements for efficiency and code compliance.
The IVO™ downlight integrates seamlessly with nLight® wired and wireless control platforms, creating a unified network for scalable lighting management. Wired configurations utilize CAT-5 connections to link luminaires with sensors, power packs, and wall controllers, forming controllable lighting zones that can be monitored and adjusted via SensorView software. Wireless versions communicate via nLight Air®, allowing pairing through the CLAIRITY+ mobile app for flexible setup, individual fixture control, and system expansion. Both platforms enable integration with protocols such as DALI®, DMX®, and BACnet®, supporting intelligent building automation and multi-space coordination.
For emergency readiness, the IVO™ offers an optional E7WR self-testing integral emergency battery, providing up to 90 minutes of emergency lighting and compliance with egress codes. The battery is accessible from below the ceiling and meets CEC Title 20 requirements. Additional compliance includes FCC Class A EMI/RFI certification and adherence to IEEE P1789 flicker standards, ensuring visual stability and user comfort.
Available in a range of finishes—black, bronze, clear, gold, pewter, silver, wheat, and white—the IVO™ allows designers to tailor visual aesthetics to their architectural context. The product meets Buy America, Buy American Act (BAA), and Build America, Buy America (BABA) standards, qualifying as a domestically manufactured solution under FAR, DFARS, and DOT procurement regulations.
Overall, the IVO™ 6" Square Shallow Recessed Wall Wash represents the future of architectural lighting flexibility—uniting shallow form factor engineering, visual precision, and multi-protocol control intelligence within a single platform. It offers designers, specifiers, and building managers a holistic lighting solution that bridges aesthetics, performance, and sustainability, redefining what a modular recessed luminaire can achieve in contemporary architectural environments.
