What Is a Downlight?

A downlight is so much more than a recessed bulb. It’s a lighting fixture installed into a hollow opening in the ceiling that directs light downward in a broad flood or narrow spot. In residential settings, downlights are often used to provide ambient or task lighting and create a clean, unobtrusive look that enhances a room’s overall aesthetic.

Introducing the Rania D2 Downlight

Earlier in the year, Lutron announced a new, smaller 2-inch aperture version of the already popular Rania D2 Downlight and the higher-tier Ketra D2. Already a masterpiece of design and technology crafted with die-cast aluminum trims, the Rania D2 boasts a fine, nearly invisible edge and is more versatile than ever. Most notable is the attention to detail is complemented by a hot-aiming system that makes micro-adjustments ergonomic and intuitive, so lighting is always perfect even with interior design changes.

What truly sets the Rania D2 apart is its white light quality. It utilizes a three-channel solution for a natural white spectrum light unmatched by any other two-inch aperture downlight, except for those made by Ketra. This level of natural light in your home must be seen to be believed, so schedule a lighting design consultation to see it in action for yourself.

Unparalleled Lighting Technology

The Rania D2 is a downlight in Lutron’s luxury portfolio. It is designed for seamless integration and offers next-gen performance with native wireless control and superior reliability. Warm dimming and tunable white light replicate natural white light more faithfully than other light sources on the market. When integrated with a Lutron HomeWorks system, these downlights shift color temperature and intensity throughout the day, so interior spaces are always perfectly lit.

Imagine a broad spectrum of color temperatures, from the warm glow of incandescent light (1,800K) to the bright, crisp light of midday sun (5,500K), always ready to create the perfect ambiance for any occasion for enhanced aesthetic appeal and function.
