RAB SML3 3 ft Edge-Lit LED Surface Mount — White, 35W, Selectable CCT

The RAB SML3 rectangular surface-mount fixture pairs a slim edge-lit design with five selectable color temperatures. Its 35W integrated LED delivers 2,600–2,830 lumens with 90 CRI, providing practical general lighting for hallways, utility rooms and indoor workspaces. A white metal housing and smooth trim keep the ceiling appearance clean without a hanging drop.

Construction & Design

The white metal housing features a rectangular shape and smooth trim in a nominal 0.5 × 3 ft format. Actual overall dimensions are 35 7/16 in long × 5 9/16 in wide × 15/16 in high, with a fixture weight of 3.4 lb. Its slim edge-lit form sits close to the ceiling for a discreet, contemporary appearance.

Light Output & Performance

The integrated LED delivers 2,600–2,830 lumens at 35W with 90 CRI and a 110-degree beam. Select 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K or 5000K to match nearby lighting and the room's preferred appearance. Efficacy ranges from 74 to 81 lm/W across the settings. Rated life is 50,000 hours at L70, and separate bulbs are not required.

Electrical & Installation

The constant-current driver accepts 120-277V at 50/60Hz. SML3 is designed for surface mounting, with family-listed compatibility for 3 or 4 in junction boxes. Its 15/16 in profile avoids the hanging clearance required by pendant and semi-flush fixtures. The family sheet lists IC suitability for direct contact with insulation.

Set the desired CCT using the housing-mounted DIP switch during installation. For dimming, use a control verified on the manufacturer's compatibility list. The individual sheet specifies indoor dry and damp applications, which takes precedence over the family's broader indoor/outdoor wording.

Typical Applications

• Residential hallways and entryways
• Laundry and utility rooms
• Indoor storage and work areas
