Light Output & Performance

The ND22-12 delivers 1,000 lm at 12W (83 lm/W), 750 lm at 9W (83 lm/W), or 600 lm at 7W (85 lm/W) — selectable in the field to match the exact demands of the space. With a CRI of 90 and R9 >50, colors render vividly and accurately across all CCT settings. The <4-step MacAdam Ellipse binning ensures consistent fixture-to-fixture color uniformity, while the 25°–45° rotating TIR lens gives specifiers precise control over light distribution. Color temperature is warranted to shift no more than 200K over 5 years.

Electrical & Installation

The ND22-12 operates on universal 120–277V input with a constant current Class A driver running at 110mA (120V) / 58mA (208V) / 51mA (240V) / 43mA (277V). Supports both TRIAC/ELV dimming to 10% at 120V and 0–10V dimming to 10% across 120–277V, making it compatible with virtually any commercial dimming infrastructure. THD ≤20%, PF ≥0.9 at 120V / ≥0.7 at 277V, flicker ≤30%. Air tight certified per ASTM-E283. Not IC rated. Rated for operation from -4°F to 104°F. Installs in retrofit, remodel, or new construction ceilings up to 2 in thick. Trim selected and purchased separately.
