RSA Lighting Microgem User manual

MICROGEM - DIE CAST low voltage recessed lighting

Microgem™ is RSA’s most comprehensive recessed product

offering. With a wide variety of trim styles from regressed baf-

ﬂes and reﬂectors to adjustable pulldown wall washers and

U.L. listed showerlights, Microgem can meet any recessed

lighting design need.

The miniature size of Microgem (trim diameter of only 4.313”)

helps make it one of the most sought after lighting products of

its kind.

Microgem recessed ﬁxtures are low voltage and are accom-

panied by a wide selection of recessed housing choices. The

newest addition to the family of housings is the shallow I.C.

can which boasts a 5.5” above ceiling height.

All Microgem products are U.L. listed and contractor friendly.

Trims have a 0.75” ﬂange so that there is room for adjustment

after the ceiling cut-out is made.
