For new construction or renovation projects, the ultra-thin MicroEdge™ lens downlight simplifies installation by installing directly into drywall or suspended ceilings without the need for a recessed housing or junction box, saving time and money. The HLB3 downlight works in both IC and non-IC ceilings and the textured lens provides smooth light distribution. It's an economical solution for general area lighting in low to medium height ceilings.
