Recessed Linear Dot Downlight

Model NL20 · 2 trims

Five or ten glare-controlled cells in one slim linear housing, on a shared 49mm body. 12W or 24W, 90 or 95 CRI, 2700K to 6000K with warm dim and tunable white options. Micro flange or trimless, black or white. The cells sit deep enough that the ceiling reads as a dark line.

Beam: 25-50°
CRI: 95
Ingress: IP20
Trims: 2

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.

Illuminance is inverse-square from the tested center-beam intensity of 2,517 cd in NL20F10-24W-3000K-50D.ies, and delivered lumens are as the file states them; the diameter is geometry from the rated beam angle. The lux column is for one fixture on axis, direct. What the room adds is separate and is drawn on the section: a 0.80 ceiling over a 0.20 floor trade light until they settle 19% above the direct level, and that arrives evenly rather than in the pool, so it lifts the gaps between fixtures by as much as the centres. It is an estimate with no walls in it, which makes it the open plan figure; a small room with 0.50 walls returns a little less. For a layout across a whole plan, send us the drawings.
