RRC LIGHT ENGINE 2000LM 120-277V 2700K, 0-10V DIMMING
Product Overview
The MaxLite RRXC20U27Z is an energy-efficient 20W LED light engine designed for the RRC Series commercial recessed downlight retrofit family. Operating on a universal 120-277V input with continuous 0-10V dimming, it delivers approximately 2,000 nominal lumens of warm 2700K light. Built to upgrade existing architectural and commercial incandescent, fluorescent, and metal halide downlights, this Type IC and damp-location-rated retrofit engine pairs with compatible 6-inch, 8-inch, or 9-inch reflectors to reduce maintenance and energy costs.
Key Features & Benefits
- Energy-Saving Retrofit: Replaces inefficient traditional downlight sources with high-efficiency LED technology using nominal 20W power.
- Smooth Dimming: Integrated 0-10V dimming capability for architectural light level control and energy optimization.
- Universal Voltage: Operates across standard 120V to 277V commercial circuits.
- Warm White Illumination: Delivers 2700K CCT with a high color rendering index of CRI >80 and consistent proprietary binning (SDCM <4).
- Long-Life Reliability: Rated for L70 lifetime of 50,000 hours and backed by a 10-year standard warranty.
- Straightforward Installation: External driver design facilitates easy mounting into existing recessed frames.
Dimensions
- Heatsink Height Addition: Adds 1.5 inches to overall fixture height when paired with reflector
- Compatible Reflector Diameters: 6 inches (RRC6-RFL), 8 inches (RRC8-RFL), and 9 inches (RRC9-RFL)
- Product Weight: 2.0 lbs
