When viewing a downlight your eye does not perceive the size of the aperture relative to the diameter, but rather, to the area of the opening! So the D2LED appears to be 1/4 the size of a typical 4" downlight.

D2LED’s unique design doesn’t require a frame to be installed into a ceiling – in most applications. To support the downlight in weak ceilings, such as tiles, Prescolite offers the D2FRM plaster frame option.
A special option is available for applications that require an IC Box – such as high-end residential settings. The D2ICAT IC-rated, and airtight box is an ideal for installing the downlight into an insulated ceiling.*

The D2LED wall wash brings all the superior control of the D2LED and combines it with a revolutionary approach to wall washing.
This unique approach to optical design for wall washing, along with the innovative mounting method, raises the bar on wall wash performance. D2LED wall wash yields distributions that outperform most larger aperture specification grade downlights with traditional sources.
LIght-PIPE tEchnoLogy
Prescolite’s patent-pending light-pipe technology harnesses the light from the Xicato module and transfers it down into the downlight with minimal degradation, maintaining a clean, highly controlled wall wash.
The cut end of the light-pipe has an exclusive lenticular tooled pattern to direct each individual light ray for perfect optical control.

Before the ceiling is finished, run wiring to the approximate location where the D2LED or A2LED will be installed.
Use a 2 7/8" hole saw and pilot drill to cut an opening for the D2LED or A2LED downlight. Because of the small reflector flange of the fixture, the accuracy of this hole is critical. Even a 3" hole saw may leave a ceiling cut out too large to be completely hidden after installation.
Simply slide the J-tube closed until it locks into place with the springs on opposite ends of the assembly to complete the third step. Pull the pre-existing wiring
below the ceiling and connect to the J-tube assembly through the 1/2" knockout. A 3/8" flex conduit duplex connector may be used to easily daisy chain fixtures together or for end-of-run applications a standard 1/2" connector can be used. Because both the D2LED and A2LED feature a 0-10 volt dimming capability, be sure to include any low voltage wire connections in this step. When wiring for dimming, the low voltage wiring installs through the adjoining 1/2" knockout. A second 3/8" flex conduit duplex connector may be used in this knockout where applicable.

Feed the J-tube assembly through ceiling cutout. The J-tube assembly has been designed and CSA approved to conveniently lay on top of the ceiling material.
Squeeze the retention springs, insert the light engine assembly into the cut out, and push until the springs pop out above the ceiling, locking the fixture into place.
When installing the A2LED, be sure to adjust the vertical angle at this stage.
Once installed, being careful not to leave finger prints on the reflector, gently twist clockwise slightly to secure firmly against ceiling.
While the D2LED and A2LED are designed with a life expectancy of over 50,000 hours, there may be times when you may need to access the fixture or J-tube assembly. For this reason, the fixtures have been designed to come out of the ceiling as easy as they went in.
Twist the reflector slightly counter-clockwise while applying slight downward pressure. Then, once the springs are accessible, squeeze them together and remove the fixture from ceiling.
