The Elite RL461 has been engineered for New Construction, Remodel and Retrofit applications for 4 inch downlights. Dedicated housings install the same way as our standard incandescent downlights. Over 650 usable lumens are directed from the luminaire to the work surface. Lighting is smooth and comfortable, all while using 75% less energy than the equivalent 50W BR20 and 25% less than the common 18W CFL. Plus the Elite RL461 features 50,000hrs of life, and California Title-24 compliance. FEATURES: Greater light output than an 18W CFL or a 50W BR20 while consuming less than 10W of power. OPTICS: The Elite-Engineered LED Module system is much more than just a simple LED retrofit. The Elite LED system is a highly engineered work of design and optical science which produces over 650 lumens! Our meticulously crafted optics gather the light scattered by the LED chip and shape it into a functional beam with uniform light distribution. DURABILITY: Die-cast aluminum housing and heat management system are engineered for extremely long life and service period. Without proper heat management, any LED luminaire will fail. Our die-cast system pulls the heat from the LED chip, allowing the continued cool operation for years. Life tests have shown the Elite RL461 light output will be maintained at 70% of initial at 50,000 hours of operation. Our LED driver is rated for 50 to 60 Htz at 120V input, produces less than 20% THD, has a power factor between 0.90 and 1.00 and is thermal protected for additional safety. REPEATABLE: Repeatability means quality. From our chip selection process, to our driver, to the thermal management, the Elite RL461 Module is engineered for quality. All Elite LED luminaries are rated at 85+ and 90+ CRI, also rated and tested to LM-79 and LM-80 standards by a certified laboratory, and meets the California Title-24 compliance standards. Elite’s highly selective LED chips produce zero ultraviolet and virtually no infrared light. DIMMABLE: The Elite RL461 lighting system is dimmable down to 10% by using an approved incandescent dimmer or select electronic low voltage dimmers when ordered with DIMTR-120 option. INTERCHANGEABLE: The Elite RL461 LED system works in our dedicated (LD4IC-AT ,LD4RIC-AT) housings and our existing 4” incandescent housings (B4IC-AT, B4RIC-AT) but is also suitable for use in most 4” recessed downlight housings. ADAPTABLE: All Elite RL461 luminaries are shipped standard with our custom engineered Edison adapter. This adapter assembly allows the luminaries to install directly into existing Elite 4” downlight housings and most other 4” downlight housings. GU24 style socket base adapters also available upon request. The Elite LED lighting system carries a five-year carefree warranty for parts and components.
