Downlights · 20° tilt

3 Inch High Output Downlight

Model N82 · 3 trims

A round 3 inch downlight built for output. The 40mm aperture sits deep in an 82mm flange, so the source stays out of sight from normal viewing angles. One 20W COB engine at 97 CRI, with tunable white, warm dim and RGBW on the same 75mm cutout, so layouts stay consistent across a project.

Output: 20 W

Photometrics

See what the beam does before you cut the hole.

Pick an optic, a mounting height and a color temperature. One set of inputs drives all five views: the beam in section, the polar distribution, the spacing a run sets out at, the measured spectrum, and color rendition. Tested IES files for every build are in the downloads below.

The diameter is measured to the beam edge, where intensity falls to half the center value, and follows from the rated beam angle alone, so it holds for any fixture at that angle. Illuminance in lux is not shown because it needs tested IES data for this optic, which we publish on the downloads below rather than estimate here. For a layout across a whole plan, send us the drawings.
