SATCO Lighting S11621R1 12W LED Direct Wire Downlight, Gimbaled, 4in, CCT Selectable, Square, Remote Driver, 850 Lumens, 120V

No can required. The mounting method is recessed direct wire, meaning the unit wires straight to line voltage and clips into the ceiling cutout rather than screwing into an existing socket. Because the driver is remote rather than built into the trim, the driver box mounts separately above the ceiling and connects to the light head.

Yes. The S11621R1 carries a Wet location rating and is listed for both indoor and outdoor use, so showers, soffits, and covered exterior ceilings are all in scope. The housing material is aluminum.

Color is selected at install with a field switch on the unit, choosing 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, or 5000K. That lets a property manager stock one part number and match 3000K in residential corridors and 4000K in back-of-house without carrying two SKUs. Wattage is fixed at 12W and is not selectable, so output stays at 850 lumens regardless of the CCT you pick.

The S11621R1 is listed as California T24 Listed, and it is cETLus Listed, FCC compliant, and RoHS compliant. Those are the listings a spec reviewer or institutional inspector typically asks for on a recessed LED. Full spec sheet: https://media.satco.com/specsheets/pdf/S11621R1.pdf.

It is dimmable, and it runs on 120V at 60Hz. Wire it to a line voltage circuit on a dimmer rated for LED loads; at 12 watts a single fixture draws very little, so check the dimmer's minimum load if you are only putting one or two on a circuit.

The gimbaled optic tilts inside the square trim, so you can aim light at artwork, a feature wall, or a sloped ceiling instead of straight down. It's the reason to choose this over a fixed flat-lens wafer: same 2 inch depth and 4 inch opening, but with aiming. If you only need general ambient wash and no aiming, a fixed downlight is the simpler choice.

White only, in a square trim. Aluminum construction, and the unit weighs 1.16 lb, light enough to be supported by the ceiling clips without added bracing in a drywall ceiling.
