2 Inch Recessed Wall Washer

Model N55-R27 · 3 trims

The 2 Inch Recessed Wall Washer is made for projects where the wall is part of the design, not just background. Its purpose-built asymmetric optic pushes light outward in a controlled fan, creating a smooth vertical wash that lifts textures, finishes, artwork, and architectural surfaces without visible banding or harsh scallops. The result is a calmer, more premium wall presentation compared to standard downlights that only spill light incidentally.

This model is offered in two trim styles to suit different ceiling finishes. The micro flange version provides a crisp, minimal edge that finishes cleanly against drywall and painted ceilings. The trimless version is designed for plaster-in applications, disappearing into the ceiling once mudded and painted. Both versions use the same wall-wash optic and light engine, so your choice is purely about ceiling expression, not performance.

Even with its compact 2 inch aperture, the fixture performs like a spec-grade wall washer. The COB LED pairs with precision optics to create a consistent gradient across the wall, helping eliminate uneven glare spots at the top and dead zones lower down. High color rendering keeps materials and art looking natural, especially on stone, wood, fabrics, and detailed paint finishes.

Comfort is handled through deep glare-control geometry that shields the source from common sightlines. That matters in hallways, living spaces, and hospitality settings where wall washers often run in repeat lines. Thermal performance is managed through a high-efficiency aluminum heat sink, keeping the LED stable and protecting light output and color over years of use.

This fixture is intended for dry interior ceilings and is ideal for corridors, living areas, feature walls, gallery lighting, boutique retail displays, hotel lobbies, and any space where you want the walls to feel intentionally lit rather than passively illuminated.

Photometrics

See what the beam does before you cut the hole.

Pick an optic, a mounting height and a color temperature. One set of inputs drives all four views: the beam in section, the polar distribution, the spacing a run sets out at, and color rendition. Tested IES files for every build are in the downloads below.

The diameter is geometry from the rated beam angle and holds for any fixture at that angle. Illuminance in lux is not shown because it needs tested IES data for this optic, which we publish on the downloads below rather than estimate here. For a layout across a whole plan, send us the drawings.
