This specification-grade recessed LED luminaire is engineered to deliver durability, security, and reliability for demanding environments such as correctional facilities, behavioral health centers, and other high-security or public spaces. Designed for flanged, grid, or security ceilings, it features a rugged vandal-resistant construction with tamper-resistant fasteners that prevent unauthorized access and ensure long-term fixture integrity. An optional ligature-resistant configuration enhances safety in specialized applications where self-harm prevention is a concern, making this fixture ideal for healthcare and behavioral institutions that require both performance and protection.
Built to CSA and UL standards and UL Listed for C/US applications, the fixture exemplifies specification-grade quality with precision-engineered construction and exceptional reliability. It is available in multiple configurations—1x4, 2x2, and 2x4 sizes—providing flexibility for different ceiling layouts. The precision die-formed and welded housing ensures a robust structure, while the single-piece, TIG-welded door frame maintains a clean, seamless appearance that reinforces both security and aesthetics. The fixture’s door frame is secured to the housing using tamper-resistant TORX® fasteners with center pins, further deterring unauthorized removal or tampering.
The luminaire offers flexible mounting options to accommodate different ceiling types. Flange installations use swing-style mounting brackets for secure placement, while grid installations are compatible with 1" and 1.5" T-bar ceilings. An optional 2" T-bar support is available for specific ceiling systems (option C57). These installation options make the fixture adaptable to a variety of architectural and facility requirements.
Its LED system delivers consistent, high-quality performance with color temperature options of 3500K, 4000K, or 5000K, ensuring appropriate lighting for diverse environments ranging from patient care areas to secure corridors. An optional LED night light adds low-level lighting for nighttime safety or staff visibility. The long-life LEDs and high-efficiency drivers are engineered to achieve an L80 performance greater than 50,000 hours, with a total harmonic distortion (THD) of less than 10%. The fixture supports standard low-voltage 0–10V dimming for precise lighting control, and all electrical components are CSA or UL approved. A ½” EMT hole is provided for straightforward and secure wiring connections.
Multiple lens options are available to meet varying safety and optical requirements. Each lens is sealed to the door frame using a continuous retention system and supported by stainless steel aircraft cables to prevent detachment or breakage. The security lenses are impact-resistant, making them ideal for correctional or public environments where vandalism and damage resistance are critical. A durable polyester powder-coated white finish provides a clean aesthetic and incorporates a high-reflectivity coating to optimize light distribution and enhance visual comfort.
Optional features include an emergency battery pack for backup lighting during power outages, IP65 rating for resistance to dust and moisture, and a dedicated LED night light for ambient guidance. These features expand the luminaire’s versatility, allowing it to serve in both indoor healthcare settings and secure institutional environments where hygiene, safety, and durability are paramount.
With its robust construction, refined engineering, and adaptable design, this recessed LED luminaire represents a secure and efficient lighting solution tailored for challenging architectural applications that demand maximum reliability, safety, and performance continuity.
