WAC Lighting Lotos 4in LED Round Adjustable Recessed Light - 5-CCT 9W 700lm, IC-Rated, White

Meet the WAC Lighting Lotos 4in LED Round Adjustable Recessed Light

The Lotos 4in LED recessed kit blends high-efficiency illumination with a wafer-thin profile, making it ideal for shallow ceilings and spaces where a large housing isn’t practical. The design is compatible with remodels or new construction and can be pre-wired with an optional frame-in kit when needed, keeping installation clean and straightforward.

Designed for flexible lighting schemes, Lotos offers an onboard 5-CCT switch that lets you dial in color temperatures from warm to cool with a simple toggle. This means you can tailor the ambiance to the moment—whether you’re highlighting artwork, creating a welcoming entry, or lighting a task zone—without swapping fixtures.

Design, Size, and Installation

The Lotos kit is built from die-cast aluminum with a compact 4in aperture and is available in white or black finishes. The adjustable version uses a 360‑degree hinged gimbal, allowing light to pivot from 0 to 90 degrees for targeted lighting on walls or architectural features, even on sloped ceilings.

Installation is streamlined for shallow ceilings, with minimal plenum space required. The light engine connects to a driver box via a quick-connect cable, and multiple cutout options accommodate 2in, 4in, or 6in configurations. An optional frame-in kit (RER-FRAME) supports pre-wiring for remodels or new construction. For larger configurations, you can use the multi-light option with R2ESAR-2 or R2ESAR-3 to achieve 2- and 3-light layouts.

Standards, Codes, and Applications

ETL and cETL listed for Dry, Damp, and Wet locations, with energy-conscious certifications including Energy Star 2.0 and Title 24 JA8-2016. Certain models are fire-rated for a two-hour burn test, offering additional safety margins in approved applications. Ideal uses include ambient downlighting, wall washing, accent lighting, and general illumination in spaces with varying ceiling thicknesses and design goals.

Real-Life Scenarios

In a living room, switch between warm and neutral whites to highlight artwork, textiles, and furniture textures. In a kitchen or task area, select a cooler tone for clarity and focus. On a hallway or entry, mix light temperatures to create depth and guide guests naturally through the space.
