Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes are available in the RAB T34FA series and what are their dimensions?

The T34FA series is available in three sizes: 1×4 (47¾″ L × 11 15/16″ W × 1½″ H, 5.6 lbs), 2×2 (23¾″ L × 23¾″ W × 1½″ H, 5.4 lbs), and 2×4 (47¾″ L × 23¾″ W × 1½″ H, 10.0 lbs). All three sizes are designed for recessed installation in standard T-grid ceilings. Surface mount and drywall recessed kits are available separately.

What are the wattage and CCT options for each size, and what are the factory defaults?

The 1×4 and 2×2 models offer 40W / 30W / 20W selectable wattage — factory default is 30W. The 2×4 model offers 50W / 40W / 30W selectable wattage — factory default is 40W. All three sizes share the same CCT options: 3500K / 4000K / 5000K — factory default is 4000K. Both wattage and CCT are set via onboard switches on the fixture body, accessible before or after installation with no tools required.

What dimming and control options are available for the T34FA series?

All T34FA models support 0–10V dimming, compatible with most commercial dimming systems and building automation controllers. An optional microwave occupancy sensor (MVS) or passive infrared (PIR) sensor is available for field or factory installation. For wireless network control, Lightcloud Blue (/LCB) uses Bluetooth Mesh for ON/OFF, dimming, color tuning, and schedules — no gateway required. Lightcloud Enterprise (/LC) adds Zigbee/cellular mesh with remote commissioning, demand response, and BACnet integration — requires a gateway or hub sold separately. DLC system codes: N1XMLOEATBA (Interior); NHCZ2BIA17L (Exterior).

Which T34FA models include emergency battery backup, and what code requirements do they meet?

All three T34FA sizes are available with a factory-installed emergency battery backup module — T34FA-1X4/E, T34FA-2X2/E, and T34FA-2X4/E. During a power outage, the battery automatically activates and maintains emergency-level illumination for the duration required by code. These /E variants are designed to meet NFPA 101 Life Safety Code and IBC emergency egress lighting requirements. No separate emergency driver, conduit run, or dedicated emergency fixture is required.

Does the T34FA series qualify for utility rebates, and is it compliant for government procurement?

Yes. All T34FA models are DLC Premium and DLC Standard listed under Family Code BBBFYY, qualifying for utility rebate programs. To verify eligibility with your utility provider, visit designlights.org and search Family Code BBBFYY. All models are also CCEA Compliant for qualifying institutional and government procurement programs.
