Product Monday: SlimSurface LED Downlight by Philips

Craig DiLouie October 27, 2014

Philips Lighting has flattened the downlight with the introduction of the Philips SlimSurface LED family of downlights. Providing the illusion of recessed downlighting, but with just a 5/8” surface mount design that is nearly flush with the ceiling, SlimSurface allows lighting to be installed in locations where wall and ceiling clearance can be an issue, such as basements.

Designed for quick and easy installation to most standard junction boxes, SlimSurface provides an alternative to traditional downlights. SlimSurface downlights are ENERGY STAR certified, allowing them to qualify for utility rebate programs.

Philips SlimSurface uses edgelit technology to achieve efficacies up to 70 lumens/W and a soft luminaire appearance. Dimmable to 10 percent. Available in a variety of designs and options, including: 4- and 6-in. square luminaires; 5- and 7-in. round luminaires; 2 color temperatures (2700K and 3000K), 2 lumen packages (630 and 900 lumens); and 2 CRI ratings (80 and 90).
