A 6-inch LED recessed downlight with selectable color temperature, designed for kitchens, bathrooms, and damp-rated indoor spaces.
Nuvo Lighting's S11879 combines precision illumination with flexible installation. This low-profile downlight features a 360-degree rotation and 30-degree tilt, allowing you to direct light exactly where needed. With five selectable CCT options (from warm to cool white), you can customize the ambiance to match your decor. The remote driver simplifies installation, and the 90 CRI ensures accurate color rendering.
Best for
- Kitchens over countertops or islands, providing task lighting with adjustable direction
- Bathrooms in damp locations such as above showers or tubs
- Hallways and entryways where a clean, low-profile ceiling light is needed
- Utility rooms, laundry rooms, and closets requiring bright, efficient lighting
- Spaces with 8-10 ft ceilings where a 6-inch trim fits standard cutouts
Not ideal for
- Wet locations (outdoor exposed to rain) - rated for damp locations only
- Very large rooms as primary lighting - 1100 lumens is best for accent or task lighting in smaller spaces
- Ceilings with less than 6 inches of clearance above the drywall - requires remote driver space
How bright is it?
1100 lumens - comparable to a 75W incandescent bulb. This is sufficient for task lighting over a sink or counter, or as ambient light in a small to medium room (up to 100 sq ft). For larger spaces, multiple units are recommended.
Light color and feel
Five selectable CCT options: 2700K (warm white, cozy), 3000K (soft white, neutral), 3500K (neutral white, balanced), 4000K (cool white, crisp), and 5000K (daylight, bright). The 90+ CRI renders colors accurately, ideal for kitchens and bathrooms where color distinction matters. Fully dimmable with compatible LED dimmers.
Sizing and fit
Overall dimensions: 7.17 in wide x 1.88 in deep (fits standard 6-inch ceiling cutouts). The low-profile design requires minimal ceiling clearance. Remote driver included for easy installation in tight spaces.
