3-Inch Canless Downlight

The Nord 3-inch canless recessed downlight delivers 500 lumens at 8 watts and lets you choose between 2700K, 3000K, 4000K, 5000K and 6500K white settings. A 90+ CRI rating renders colours naturally. The integrated tethered J-box removes the need for a separate recessed can housing. It is wet-rated for bathrooms and outdoor locations and carries Energy Star approval.

Integrated J-Box Simplifies Retrofit Installation

The tethered junction box connects directly to finished ceilings without cutting space for a traditional can. Dimmable LEDs work with compatible wall dimmers. Because the fixture is canless, installers must verify ceiling thickness and joist spacing allow the slim profile. Wet-rated sealing requires the gasket to sit flush; uneven surfaces can compromise the moisture barrier.

Verify Ceiling Cut-Out

Measure the existing opening to confirm it suits a 3-inch trim. Check that your dimmer supports low-wattage LED loads to avoid flicker. The fixture replaces 45-watt incandescent equivalents but draws only 8 watts; circuits sized for higher loads are acceptable. Buyers who need a larger aperture or a non-dimmable fixed-colour unit should consider other models.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the 500-lumen output and 90-plus CRI are performing correctly after installation?

Switch through the five colour temperatures 2700K 3000K 4000K 5000K 6500K and confirm each renders skin tones and colours vividly; dim smoothly from full brightness to low without flicker.

What components are included with the downlight and is a separate recessed can required?

The fixture ships with an integrated tethered J-box that mounts directly into a finished ceiling so no recessed can housing is needed.

Which colour temperature should I select for a bathroom versus a living room?

Choose 4000K or 5000K for task lighting in bathrooms and 2700K or 3000K for warmer ambient light in living rooms.
