SATCO Lighting S11876 10W, LED Direct Wire Downlight, Edge-lit, 4 inch, CCT Selectable, 120V, Dimmable, Square, Remote Driver

The S11876 is a direct wire, recessed downlight with a remote driver, so there's no can required. The driver housing sits above the ceiling and the trim mounts into the opening, running on 120V at 60Hz. Because the driver is remote rather than built into the trim, you can tuck it aside in the plenum where ceiling depth is tight, which is the main reason to pick this over an integrated-driver puck.

The fixture body measures 4.72 x 4.72 x 0.90 inches, so the trim itself is under an inch deep. That thin edge-lit profile is what lets it go into shallow ceilings and sloped or joist-crowded bays where a canned fixture won't fit. Plan the space for the remote driver separately, since it mounts away from the trim.

Wet location rated and approved for indoor or outdoor use, so it can go in a shower ceiling, a covered porch, or an exterior soffit. Note the fixture carries an IP20 rating, which covers finger-sized object ingress and not water spray directly, so treat the wet location listing as the governing approval and install it per the fitting instructions.

One part number covers five color temperatures. The S11876 is CCT selectable at 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K and 5000K, set at the fixture during install. For a property manager stocking a building, that means a single SKU can match warm 2700K in residential units and 4000K in a back-of-house corridor without carrying five items.

cETLus Listed, which covers both US and Canadian installations, and it is California T24 listed for jobs governed by Title 24. It is also FCC compliant and RoHS compliant. Those are the three lines a spec reviewer or an institutional purchasing group usually asks for on a recessed LED.

650 lumens from 10 watts. That output is right for a 4 inch aperture doing general ceiling coverage, closets, hallways, small baths, or laying in on a grid for a corridor. Wattage is fixed at 10W on this model, so if you need to trim output field by field you'd want a wattage selectable fixture instead.

The S11876 is a dimmable 120V fixture running at 60Hz, so it's built for a standard line-voltage dimmer on the load side. Since the driver is remote, dimming is handled through that driver, not at the trim. Match the dimmer to the driver's compatibility list in the Satco specification sheet before you commit a whole floor to one dimmer model.

There's no lamp to change. The LED is integrated into the fixture, rated at 50,000 hours, so maintenance is a fixture swap at end of life rather than a relamp. For an MRO buyer that shifts the labor math: no bulb inventory, no ladder trips for relamping, but the trim and driver are the replacement unit.

Square trim, black finish, with an aluminum body. It's the utility style rather than a decorative trim, so it reads flush and plain in the ceiling. The square aperture matters if you're matching existing openings, since it won't visually match a round trim on adjacent fixtures.
