3" HALOGEN/CMH ADJUSTABLE DOWNLIGHT

The innovative design allows the lamp to be positioned closer to the aperture for maximum light output and efficiency or higher to minimize glare and flash on the trim. Additional adjustability allows for hot aiming including 0°- 40° tilt and 361° rotation to eliminate dead spots. All aiming functions are lockable.
