RAB R3-9 3 in Round Smooth Recessed Downlight — 9W / Selectable CCT / 120V / White

The RAB R3-9 is a 3 in round smooth recessed downlight in white with a remote driver, delivering 650 lumens at 9W and 72.22 lm/W with a 38° beam angle and 30° tilt. The smooth trim delivers a clean, minimal ceiling aesthetic compared to the baffle RAB R3-9B. No housing or J-box required — installs via spring-loaded retention clips in new construction or retrofit ceilings. CCT is field-selectable 2700K–5000K via dip switch (default: 3000K) with TRIAC/ELV dimming at 120V.
