Infälld linjär LED-downlight, UGR < 12, lutbar

The FC-C1 is a recessed linear LED downlight built for low-glare accent lighting. Its head tilts after the housing is fixed, so the beam can be aimed at a wall, shelf, or work surface without moving the fixture. Glare is held below UGR 12, which keeps the fixture comfortable in rooms where people sit and look across the space. That combination is rare in a linear recessed unit: most fixtures of this shape either spread light too wide or cannot be aimed at all.

Models

Two models are available. The FC-C1 8W runs at 6-8W and delivers 480 lm. The FC-C1 16W runs at 12-18W and delivers 960 lm. Both use LumiLEDs LED sources and reach roughly 80 lm/W, which is the figure shown in the Highlights list. The two sizes cover different lengths of opening, so the choice depends on the width of the ceiling slot rather than on brightness alone.

• FC-C1 8W: body 145mm x 45mm x 35mm, cutout 135mm x 32mm
• FC-C1 16W: body 265mm x 45mm x 35mm, cutout 255mm x 32mm

Optics and color

Lenses are offered in 24° or 45°, selected at order. The 24° lens gives a tight beam for accent light; the 45° lens spreads wider for general coverage. Color temperature is selectable within 2700K-6500K, and CRI is above 92, so colors read accurately under the light. The lens angle is fixed when the unit is ordered and cannot be swapped after delivery, so the choice of optic should be made against the final ceiling plan.

Both CCT and dimming behavior follow the driver selected at order. A DALI version links into a building management system, a Triac version works with standard wall dimmers, and the 0-10V version uses a low-voltage control signal. These options are separate products under the same housing, so the control type has to be decided before the driver is fitted.

Construction

The housing is aluminum with a PC component, finished in white. The IP42 rating covers normal indoor dry locations. The tilt mechanism is part of the trim, so aiming is done by hand after the housing is seated. The white body keeps the fixture visually quiet in a plaster ceiling, and the low profile means the exposed face is thin, which matters when the fixture sits in a slot that continues across a room.

Controls and electrical

Input is 110-277VAC or 220-240VAC with power factor above 0.9. Control is chosen at order: DALI, Triac dimmable, 0-10V dimmable, Casambi, or emergency. The Casambi option runs over a wireless app and needs no extra control wiring, which keeps a retrofit simple where no control cable exists. The emergency version connects to a backup supply and requires separate wiring, so confirm the details with the sales team before ordering.

Installation

The fixture recesses into a plasterboard ceiling. Cut the opening to 135mm x 32mm for the 8W model or 255mm x 32mm for the 16W model, wire the driver, then seat the housing. Aim the head before the trim is locked into place, and adjust again later if the display or layout changes. Always switch off the supply at the breaker before wiring. The cutout is narrow, so the opening needs to be cut carefully to the specified width; a jigsaw or a router template keeps the slot straight.

Where it fits

The FC-C1 works where a linear light line is wanted but ceiling space is limited. Because it recesses rather than hangs, it suits rooms with low ceilings where a pendant would crowd the space. The low UGR rating also helps in rooms with screens, where a bright fixture overhead would reflect in displays. For shops, the 24° optic picks out product; for corridors, the 45° optic spreads the light along the walkway.

Certifieringar

The FC-C1 carries TUV, CE, RoHS, and SAA certification. If the project requires one of these marks on file, the documentation can be requested from the sales team.

The FC-C1 is a straightforward choice when the job calls for a low-glare linear accent light.

• Low glare. UGR below 12 keeps the fixture out of normal viewing angles, so it works in offices and meeting rooms without harsh bright spots at eye level.
• Aimable beam. The head tilts after installation, so the light lands where the space needs it, not where the ceiling forces it.
• Accurate color. CRI above 92 and CCT from 2700K to 6500K cover both warm retail settings and cooler work areas.
• Good output per watt. Around 80 lm/W from a LumiLEDs source keeps energy use low for the light delivered.
• Solid build. Aluminum housing with a white finish, rated IP42 for dry indoor rooms.
• Flexible control. DALI, Triac, 0-10V, Casambi, or emergency versions, selected at order.

Certification covers TUV, CE, RoHS, and SAA, which helps with projects that require documented compliance. For linear accent lines in low-ceiling rooms, this is the unit we point buyers to first.

The FC-C1 suits spaces where a linear accent light is wanted without glare. In shops, a row of 24° units picks out shelf edges and display cases while leaving the aisle darker. In offices and meeting rooms, the UGR below 12 rating keeps the fixture comfortable at eye level, and the tiltable head lets the beam be aimed at a whiteboard or desk line instead of staying fixed straight down.

Hotels use the same fixture over vanity areas, corridor accents, or behind headboards where a narrow light band is part of the design. In kitchens and food counters, the CRI above 92 makes product color read correctly, and the IP42 rating is fine for dry indoor use.

The 8W model fits a 135mm x 32mm cutout and works well as a short accent over a single shelf or display. The 16W model covers a 255mm x 32mm cutout and gives a longer, brighter line for counters, wall washes, or corridor lighting. Because the head tilts, the same housing can aim at a wall, a work surface, or straight down, which makes the fixture useful when the display layout changes between seasons.

A few points to check before you order the FC-C1.

• Cutout size. The 8W model needs 135mm x 32mm; the 16W model needs 255mm x 32mm. Measure the ceiling opening before ordering, because the housing cannot shrink.
• Lens angle. 24° or 45° is fixed at order. If the room plan changes later, the lens cannot be swapped in the field.
• Control choice. DALI, Triac, 0-10V, Casambi, or emergency is selected at order. Changing control type after delivery means a different driver.
• Voltage. Confirm whether the project runs 110-277VAC or 220-240VAC and state it with the order.
• Emergency version. It needs separate wiring to a backup supply. Ask our sales team for the wiring details and runtime before ordering.
• Dry indoor only. IP42 is for normal indoor rooms, not wet or dusty sites.

If anything is unclear, send a message to our sales team before ordering. It costs a minute and avoids a wrong fixture.
