Nora Lighting NLCBC2-652 6" Cobalt Click Round Retrofit Baffle

For homes and commercial spaces alike, the Nora NLCBC2-652 gives clean recessed ceiling light with nothing hanging down.

Typical spots: kitchens, living rooms, hallways, bathrooms, offices and retail ceilings. Its wet rating also lets it go in showers, outdoor soffits and other places water can reach. Because the fixture sits flush or out of sight, it works in Modern, Transitional and Scandinavian rooms alike; the finish you pick decides how much it shows.

Where it works

• Residential remodels and new builds, plus offices, shops and hospitality spaces.
• California projects: it meets Title 24 (JA8) high-efficacy rules.
• Egress paths that must stay lit during an outage.
• Mixed-use spaces where you want warmer light in living areas and cooler light in work areas: 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, Comfort Dim, Comfort Dim (3000K-2000K), Selectable CCT (27K / 30K / 35K / 40K / 50K) are offered.

Planning tip

A retrofit replaces an old bulb-and-trim in an existing can, so there is no ceiling work. Measure the opening of the can before ordering. (our advice)

Frequently asked questions

Which rooms is the Nora NLCBC2-652 best for?

Can I use it in a commercial space?

What dimmer should I use?

Nora specifies Phase or 0-10V (requires Nora LED dedicated housing with /6W suffix), Triac or ELV, Phase or 0-10V (requires Nora LED dedicated housing with /4W suffix) dimming. Pair it with a dimmer rated for LED loads to keep it flicker-free (our advice).
