6" LED Round Commercial Downlight, 3600 Lumen Max, Wattage & CCT Selectable, 120-277V

Product Description

Who This Fixture Is For

This 6-inch round commercial downlight is a workhorse fixture for electrical contractors, designers, and facility teams handling general ambient lighting in commercial buildings. The 6-inch aperture is the most commonly specified size for office and retail downlighting because it strikes a balance among fixture spacing, lumen output per fixture, and clean ceiling appearance. With selectable wattage from 12W to 30W and five color temperature options, a single SKU covers a wide range of project requirements without forcing finish or output decisions at the time of order. It's well suited for:

• Office buildings and corporate suites, where consistent overhead illumination supports productivity in conference rooms, hallways, and open work areas
• Retail spaces and showrooms, where downlights highlight merchandise and create welcoming customer environments
• Hospitality lobbies, restaurants, and reception areas, where the smooth reflector trim contributes to a clean, modern aesthetic
• Healthcare facilities and medical offices, where wet location rating handles patient bathrooms and exam rooms with sinks
• Schools, libraries, and institutional buildings, where Title 24 compliance is required for projects in California
• New construction projects, remodels, and retrofit applications, since separate construction plates and a goof ring accessory accommodate different installation scenarios

The 120-277V input handles standard commercial circuits, and the smooth reflector trim sits flush in the ceiling for a clean, professional appearance.

Major Benefits of the 6 Inch Round Commercial Downlight

Five Wattages and Five Color Temperatures From One Fixture

A single SKU covers wattage selections ranging from 12W to 30W and color temperatures from 2700K to 5000K. That gives designers and facility teams the ability to dial in both brightness and warmth on site, which is especially useful in mixed-use buildings where a hospitality lobby wants warm 2700K, and the back office wants crisp 4000K.

Wet Location Rated for Wider Application

The fixture is wet location rated, meaning it can be installed in environments with direct water exposure, such as patient bathrooms, locker rooms, or covered exterior soffits. Many standard interior downlights are only damp-location rated, which limits where they can be installed. A wet location rating opens up applications that would otherwise require a more specialized, more expensive fixture.

Title 24 Compliant for California Projects

The downlight meets California's Title 24 energy code requirements, which are mandatory for most non-residential new construction and major renovations in the state. For specifying engineers and contractors working on West Coast projects, this saves the time of cross-referencing compliance lists when comparing fixtures.

Mounting Options for Any Installation Scenario

Optional new construction plates are available for drywall and T-grid ceilings, and a goof ring accessory is offered for retrofit installations where the existing ceiling cutout doesn't perfectly match the fixture aperture. That combination means the same fixture works cleanly across new construction, remodel, and retrofit scenarios without sourcing separate trim parts from third-party suppliers.

Emergency Battery Backup Available

For applications where the downlight serves as part of an emergency egress lighting plan, a 15W emergency battery backup option is available. This provides illumination during a power outage without specifying a separate emergency fixture or running additional wiring.

FAQs: 6-Inch LED Round Commercial Downlight

How many of these downlights do I need for a typical office or retail space?

A reasonable starting point for general office space is one 6-inch downlight per 25 to 35 square feet, which targets roughly 30 footcandles at the work plane with 9 to 10 foot ceilings. For 1,000 square feet of office space, that works out to around 30 to 40 fixtures at 30W output, or fewer if you set the wattage selector higher per fixture. Retail and hospitality spaces with lower target light levels can space fixtures further apart. Warehouse Lighting offers free lighting layout assistance and can run a photometric plan from your floor plan, which is worth doing on any project of meaningful size since it accounts for ceiling reflectance and fixture beam spread that quick rules of thumb miss.

What 0-10V dimmer should I pair with this downlight?

The fixture uses 0-10V dimming, which requires a 0-10V compatible wall control or panel-level dimming module rather than a standard residential phase-cut dimmer. Warehouse Lighting cross-sells two compatible options on this product page: the LED Slide Dimmer for 0-10V Power Supplies and the 0-10V LED Dimmer Switch. Using a 0-10V control instead of retrofitting a phase-cut dimmer eliminates the flickering and limited dimming range issues that occur when LED fixtures are paired with the wrong dimmer type.

Which color temperature should I choose for which space?

Within the five CCT options on this fixture, 2700K and 3000K read as warm white and work best for hospitality, restaurants, residential common areas, and any space where a relaxed atmosphere matters. 3500K is a versatile middle ground often used in retail and mixed-use commercial. 4000K reads as neutral white and is the most common spec for general office and healthcare environments. 5000K is closer to daylight and works for task-heavy spaces, garages, and back-of-house areas where alertness and color accuracy matter more than warmth.

Can I mix this 6-inch round with the 6-inch square version in the same space?

The 6-inch-square commercial downlight shares the same WareLight platform, a similar wattage selection, and the same CCT options, so the light output and color quality match closely. Mixing round and square apertures in the same room generally reads as inconsistent, but using the round version in main spaces and the square version in adjacent rooms with different ceiling treatments is a legitimate design choice. Note that the goof ring and construction plate accessories are compatible with the round version only, so if you need either, plan for the round fixture.
