14 / 18 / 22 / 26 / 30 Watt Adjustable 8 Inch LED Downlight | 1279 to 2622 Lumens | 2700K / 3000K / 3500K / 4000K / 5000K Adjustable | 100-277V

Product Overview

This is an 8-inch LED downlight with adjustable wattage and color temperature, designed for recessed ceiling installation in commercial and institutional interiors. The fixture supports selectable outputs from 14 to 30 watts, delivering up to 2622 lumens, and operates on 100-277V input. Typical use includes office, corridor, and hospitality environments where uniform, low-glare illumination is required. The fixture is suitable for both new construction and retrofit projects where a metal halide or CFL recessed can is being replaced.

The downlight features a polycarbonate lens and aluminum alloy housing, with a wet location rating for use in areas exposed to occasional moisture. The 8-inch aperture and 120° beam angle provide broad coverage, supporting general ambient lighting in spaces with standard to moderately high ceilings.

Core Performance and Output

This downlight offers selectable output levels: 14, 18, 22, 26, or 30 watts, with corresponding lumen packages from 1279 to 2622 lumens. Efficacy is 88 lumens per watt. The fixture delivers a wide 120° beam, supporting uniform coverage in open areas and corridors. Color temperature is field-adjustable from 2700K to 5000K, with a CRI of 90+ for accurate color rendering in commercial settings.

0-10V dimming is standard, allowing integration with common commercial dimming systems. At maximum output, the fixture is best suited for mounting heights up to approximately 12 feet; excessive output may occur at lower heights, requiring dimming or lower wattage selection. Uniformity may decrease if fixtures are spaced too far apart in high-ceiling or open-plan layouts.

Adjustability and Control Options

Wattage and color temperature are both adjustable via onboard switches, supporting field selection during installation or future reconfiguration. This allows a single fixture to match multiple lighting requirements or adapt to changes in space use. The fixture supports 0-10V dimming for integration with standard commercial controls.

No onboard occupancy or daylight sensors are included. Control is limited to external dimming and manual adjustment of wattage and color temperature. The fixture is compatible with most 0-10V dimming systems used in commercial and institutional buildings.

Longevity and Reliability

The fixture is rated for 50,000 hours (L70), supporting long-term operation in commercial environments with minimal maintenance. The polycarbonate lens and aluminum alloy housing provide resistance to impact and corrosion. Wet location rating ensures continued performance in areas subject to occasional moisture or cleaning.

Operating temperature range is -4°F to 113°F. The fixture is suitable for conditioned interiors and most covered exterior locations, but not for environments with sustained high humidity or extreme temperatures.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The downlight uses an aluminum alloy housing for structural integrity and heat dissipation. The polycarbonate lens provides uniform light diffusion and resists yellowing over time. The fixture is finished in white to blend with standard ceiling tiles and drywall.

Dimensions are 10 1/4 inches in diameter and 4 7/16 inches in height, with a total weight of 1.5 lbs. The fixture is designed for recessed mounting in compatible ceiling openings. All components are ETL listed and rated for wet locations.

Where This Product Fits Best

This downlight is intended for commercial and institutional interiors requiring recessed ceiling lighting with adjustable output and color temperature. It is suitable for both new construction and retrofit projects where flexibility and uniformity are priorities.

• commercial recessed lighting
• office lighting
• retail lighting
• hospitality lighting
• corridor lighting
• lobby lighting
• restaurant lighting
• accent lighting

Wet location rating allows use in areas exposed to occasional moisture, such as lobbies, corridors, and restrooms. The fixture is not intended for exterior soffits or environments with direct water exposure.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The fixture is designed for recessed mounting in standard 8-inch ceiling openings. Installation requires access above the ceiling for wiring and securing the fixture. The lightweight design and integrated driver simplify handling and placement.

Wattage and color temperature can be set during installation or adjusted later if lighting requirements change. The fixture supports 0-10V dimming, allowing integration with building lighting controls. Routine maintenance is limited to occasional cleaning of the lens; no relamping is required over the rated life.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 8 to 12 feet, depending on output setting and application. Fixtures are spaced to achieve uniform coverage, with closer spacing in corridors or areas requiring higher light levels. In open offices or retail, layout is determined by ceiling grid and desired illumination uniformity.

Higher output settings reduce the number of fixtures needed but may increase glare if used at low mounting heights. Spacing and wattage selection should be coordinated to balance light levels and visual comfort.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is ETL listed and rated for wet locations. The housing and lens materials are non-combustible and suitable for use in commercial and institutional buildings. Power factor is 0.95, supporting efficient operation on 100-277V circuits.

The product includes a 5-year warranty covering manufacturing defects and performance. All components are rated for commercial duty cycles and typical maintenance intervals.
