Nora Lighting NLTH-81TW Series 8" Theia LED Downlight with Selectable CCT

For homes and commercial spaces alike, the Nora NLTH-81TW 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.
