Nora Lighting NLCB2-652 6" Cobalt Dedicated High Lumen Baffle

For homes and commercial spaces alike, the Nora NLCB2-652 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.
• Mixed-use spaces where you want warmer light in living areas and cooler light in work areas: 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, Comfort Dim (3000K-2000K) are offered.

Planning tip

Match the trim size to the housing size, then choose the look: open reflectors for general light, baffles to cut glare, lensed trims over showers. (our advice)
