The edge-lit LED downlight creates an attractive visual aesthetic with a low profile that's incredibly easy to install.

This high-performance downlight features 93 CRI, with an R9 value exceeding 50, making this among the highest-rated LED light fixtures in terms of light output quality. Installation no longer requires recessed housing, but rather a simple diameter cut-out in the ceiling using the provided template. The ultra-thin fixture depth (less than 1-inch) and off-board driver (included) allow for more flexible installation and increased lifespan with superior heat management. The features adjustable spring-loaded retention tabs for a secure fit, eliminating the need for a J-box or recessed housing.
