A 4-inch gimbaled LED downlight with selectable color temperature, ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and low-clearance ceilings where adjustable directional light is needed.
The Nuvo Lighting Satco S11840 is a versatile direct-wire downlight that eliminates the need for a recessed can. Its ColorQuick technology lets you choose from five color temperatures (2700K to 5000K) to match the mood or task. The gimbal rotates 360 degrees and tilts up to 80 degrees, so you can aim light exactly where you need it. The remote driver offers flexible installation in shallow ceilings, cabinets, and basements.
Best for
- Kitchens over countertops or islands, where directional task lighting is essential
- Bathrooms with damp-rated ceilings, such as above a shower or tub
- Low-clearance basements or attics where standard recessed cans won't fit
- Accent lighting for artwork or display niches with adjustable aim
- New construction or retrofit projects needing a slim, energy-efficient solution
Not ideal for
- Wet outdoor locations without additional weatherproofing
- Spaces requiring a decorative fixture with a visible trim ring or lens
- Large rooms where a single downlight provides primary illumination (use multiple units)
How bright is it?
9 watts delivering approximately 650 lumens — comparable to a 60W incandescent bulb. This is sufficient for task lighting over a sink or counter, or as ambient light in a small bathroom or hallway. For larger rooms, combine multiple units.
Light color and feel
Selectable CCT from 2700K (warm white, cozy) to 5000K (daylight, crisp). The 3000K setting is a popular warm neutral that flatters skin tones and wood finishes. The 4000K option works well in kitchens for task clarity. Dimmable from 10% to 100% with compatible dimmers.
Sizing and fit
Overall dimensions: 4.92 x 4.92 x 1.42 inches. The trim is 4 inches round. Fits into ceilings as shallow as 2 inches due to the remote driver. No recessed can required. Suitable for new construction and retrofit.
