Product Description - 2" Type IC Air-Tight LED Recessed Housing with Mounted Driver (Universal New Construction & Remodel)
2" Type IC Air-Tight LED Recessed Housing with Mounted Driver (Universal New Construction & Remodel)
The 2" Type IC Air-Tight LED Recessed Housing with Mounted Driver is an architectural-grade downlighting structural hardware solution engineered for seamless integration into both residential and commercial new construction or remodel projects. Fabricated from rugged galvanized steel, this high-performance plaster frame incorporates a fully sealed, Air-Tight design that prevents conditioned air from escaping into plenum spaces, combined with an Insulation Contact (Type IC) safety rating allowing direct contact with ceiling insulation modules. The advanced internal LED driver is mounted directly onto the rigid outer housing frame, maximizing cooling efficiency while remaining fully accessible from below through the ceiling opening for straightforward maintenance. Outfitted with heavy-duty captive hangar bars and an integrated junction box, the chassis supports multi-volt layouts (120V Triac or 120/277V 0–10V dimming configurations) and is optimized for use with high-efficacy retrofit downlight kits. Certified for wet and damp installations, Energy Star qualified, and Title 24 compliant, this premium housing platform ensures a rock-solid, code-approved foundation for long-life solid-state arrays.
Key Features
- Dual New Construction & Remodel Versatility: Unified structural engineering layout allows the plaster assembly to function perfectly as a new building rough-in framework or adapt smoothly into existing ceiling retrofits.
- Type IC & Air-Tight Energy Ratings: Certified for direct alignment against thermal fiberglass or blown insulation while maintaining an airtight perimeter seal to significantly lower facility HVAC conditioning losses.
- Chassis-Mounted Accessible LED Driver: Precision power supply driver is physically locked to the heavy galvanized body casing to maximize heat dissipation, yet is fully serviceable via the internal structural trim throat.
- Dynamic Multi-Protocol Dimming Grid: Engineered to provide uniform, flicker-free dimming response across standard Triac line-voltage systems or robust 120-277V low-voltage 0-10V commercial control architectures.
- Rigid Galvanized Frame with Captive Hanger Bars: Built with high-strength galvanized steel profiles, an integrated wiring junction box, and telescoping captive layout hanger bars for fast, precise alignment between framing joists.
- Comprehensive Wet & Damp Location Listing: Sealed internal boundary protects the electrical components from condensation, allowing for high-performance installation inside humid shower stalls and bathrooms.
- California Title 24 & Energy Star Certified: Fulfills rigid regional environmental efficiency parameters and high-efficacy electrical framework mandates when paired with matching LED retrofit modules.
