A 3-inch recessed path light in Black Brass finish for landscape pathway illumination and uplighting trees or walls.
The MR8 Recessed Light with Cowl from Kichler delivers precise, well-distributed illumination for pathways and outdoor spaces. The black finish over solid brass provides a streamlined, minimal appearance that resists corrosion in coastal environments. This drop-in fixture casts light parallel to the ground, making it ideal for uplighting along sidewalks, trees, walls, and flagpoles.
Best for
- Pathways and walkways, installed flush with the ground for subtle accent lighting
- Uplighting trees, walls, and flagpoles with a focused beam
- Coastal environments where corrosion resistance is essential
- Low-voltage landscape lighting systems using Kichler LED drop-in lamps
Not ideal for
- Indoor use – this fixture is designed for outdoor wet locations
- Spaces requiring bright, wide-area floodlighting – this is a narrow accent light
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the LED lamp selected (not included). The MR8 bi-pin socket accepts Kichler LED drop-in lamps, allowing you to choose wattage, lumen output, and beam angle. Lumen output is not specified by manufacturer without a lamp.
Light color and feel
Color temperature is determined by the LED lamp selected (not included). Kichler offers lamps in 2700K, 3000K, and 4000K options. CRI is lamp-dependent.
