Gimbal Adjustable Modules
Q | Why would I buy an LED Gimbal module and not
an LED lamp?
A | A module is a trim and light engine combined
— they are certified to work together. Whereas,
the lighting performance of just a lamp can vary
greatly depending on the trim it is installed in.
Unlike modules, not all LED lamps are designed for IC rating and installing a non IC rated lamp in an
IC fixture could cause premature failure. Lamps that are IC rated most likely do not have the same
lumen performance as a module because of thermal characteristics. Finally, LED modules are great
for areas that may experience high theft rates due to because a fixture is a more permanent installation
than a LED lamp, making them more difficult to steal.
Q |
How much light do the LED Gimbal adjustable fixtures deliver?
A | 6" — 6G1MW LED delivers 620 lumens
5" — 5G1MW LED delivers 600 lumens
4" — 4G1MW LED delivers 435 lumens
Q | What is the input wattage and lumens per watt?
A | 6" — 6G1MW LED uses 10.8 watts, yielding an efficacy of 57 lumens per watt
5" — 5G1MW LED uses 10.8 watts, yielding an efficacy of 55 lumens per watt
4" — 4G1MW LED uses 7.9 watts, yielding an efficacy of 55 lumens per watt
Q | What is the CRI and Kelvin temperature?
A | The adjustable gimbal LED fixtures all have a CRI of 83 and a nominal color temperature of 3000K.
Q | Will other Kelvin temperatures be available?
A | 3000K is the only color temperature available at this time in the LED Gimball downlight modules.
Q | What is the expected life of the LED Gimbal adjustable fixtures?
A | The LED Gimbal is designed to last 35,000 hours in IC applications. If the modules average 6 hours of
use per day, this is equivalent to 16 years of life. If the modules average 3 hours of use per day, this is
equivalent to 32 years.
Q | What trim finishes are available?
A | Matte white, matte black, oil-rubbed bronze and brushed nickel finishes are available in all 3 sizes.
