Acuity Brands L7X-R6 6 in Recessed Incandescent Housing

Product Description

The ACUITY BRANDS L7X-R6 is a new-construction recessed incandescent housing designed for 6-inch round aperture ceiling installations. The housing accepts a wide range of lamp types including A19, BR30, BR40, PAR20, PAR30, PAR38, and R20 bulbs at wattages from 40 to 150 watts. The aluminum housing is rated air-tight and is designed for non-insulated ceilings up to 1.5 inches thick. A galvanized steel junction box with five 0.5-inch and two 0.75-inch knockouts is integrated into the unit. Licensed electricians handle installation as part of rough-in work on new residential construction projects.

The L7X-R6 is suited for residential new construction applications in damp-rated locations such as bathrooms, covered porches, and similar environments. The 7-inch ceiling opening accommodates the 6-inch nominal aperture, and vertical lamp mounting is required. The housing is UL listed for both Canada and the United States. Retaining clips riveted to the top of the reflector hold the trim inside the housing, while two side-mounted torsion springs on the trim and two receiving brackets in the can deliver a secure, tight fit once the trim is installed.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician during the rough-in phase of new construction before drywall is closed. Power to the circuit must be shut off at the breaker before wiring the junction box. Verify ceiling framing accommodates the required 7-inch opening and that the ceiling material does not exceed 1.5 inches in thickness. Work must comply with applicable NEC requirements for recessed luminaire installation in damp-rated locations.
