Product Specifications

2-Hour Fire Rated Canless Downlight

The NFRC-R6W1TWMPW is designed for projects that require fire-rated recessed lighting without the bulk of a conventional recessed housing. Its multi-piece construction provides an additional protective layer above the ceiling, and Nora lists the fixture as tested and certified to UL 263 and ASTM E119 for a 2-hour fire rating.

Fire-resistance performance depends on the complete ceiling assembly and proper installation. Always verify the approved ceiling assembly, Nora installation instructions and applicable local building and electrical codes before installation.

1550 Lumens from a Slim 6" Wafer Downlight

With a nominal output of 1550 lumens from only 15 watts, this 6-inch LED downlight provides substantial general illumination while maintaining an exceptionally shallow profile. Its flat luminous surface creates a clean, contemporary ceiling appearance without requiring a traditional recessed can.

The wide-flood optical distribution spreads light broadly across the room, making the NFRC-R6W1TWMPW well suited for general lighting in residential, multifamily, hospitality and commercial interiors.

5 Selectable Color Temperatures

One fixture provides five popular white-light color temperatures. The selectable CCT switch is located in the junction box, allowing the preferred setting to be chosen in the field.

• 2700K Warm White: Warm, comfortable illumination for bedrooms, living rooms and hospitality spaces.
• 3000K Soft White: A versatile residential choice for kitchens, hallways and general living areas.
• 3500K Neutral White: Balanced illumination for residential and commercial interiors.
• 4000K Cool White: Crisp light for kitchens, work areas and commercial environments.
• 5000K Daylight: Cooler white illumination for spaces where brighter visual clarity is preferred.

Shallow Canless Installation

The NFRC-R6W1TWMPW does not require a conventional recessed housing. Its shallow wafer construction is designed for low-clearance plenums and makes the fixture particularly useful for remodel projects or locations where traditional recessed cans are difficult to accommodate.

A pre-wired junction box is included, while a quick-disconnect connection simplifies the connection between the LED downlight and its driver enclosure. Optional new-construction frame-in accessories are available when fixture locations need to be established before the finished ceiling is installed.

IC Airtight & Wet Location Rated

The NFRC-R6W1TWMPW is IC Airtight rated for appropriate insulated ceiling applications and is cETLus listed for wet locations. This combination provides additional installation flexibility across residential and commercial projects.

Always follow Nora's installation instructions regarding insulation, ceiling construction, environmental conditions and required clearances.

Dimmable, High-Quality LED Lighting

With 90+ CRI, the integrated LED system provides high-quality color rendering so interior finishes, furnishings and surfaces appear natural. The fixture supports Triac and ELV phase dimming when paired with a compatible dimmer, allowing light levels to be adjusted for different activities and times of day.
