1" 5 Watt LED Minifit Gimbal Downlight - 400 Lumens - 2700K - 90 CRI - 120V

A common rule of thumb is spacing at roughly half the ceiling height (8 ft ceiling → ~4 ft). Adjust for task areas and beam spread.

4-inch trims are compact with tighter beams; 6-inch offer wider coverage and higher outputs. Match to room scale and ceiling height.

For 8–10 ft ceilings, 600–1000 lumens per downlight with 40–60° beams works well. Taller ceilings benefit from higher output or narrower beams.

2700–3000K feels warm and residential; 3500–4000K is neutral and bright. Choose CRI 90+ for accurate color in kitchens and living areas.

Most modern LEDs dim with triac/ELV or 0–10 V. Use listed dimmers and check the fixture’s compatibility chart for smooth low-level control.

Use IC-rated housings where insulation contacts the fixture and air-tight housings to reduce energy loss and drafts.

Yes—use wet-rated trims for showers and under soffits; damp-rated for covered areas. Follow the fixture’s location ratings.

Integrated wafers are slim for tight spaces and retrofits; bulb-based give easy lamp replacement. Choose based on access and service preference.

Select baffle or regressed trims, use wall-wash optics for art walls, and aim task lights to overlap for even countertop illumination.

Use fan/fixture-rated boxes, maintain clearances, label circuits, and follow local electrical code. Cut power at the breaker before work.
