SKU:L2F-RDI-WH-RC20-5C95
Quick choice: The Lotus Tangra L2F-RDI is a Canadian-made 2-inch fixed round, deep-regressed invisible-trim recessed LED downlight. It is designed for trimless architectural installations that prioritize a minimal visible aperture, recessed light source and reduced perceived glare. Choose this version when the ceiling finish and construction plan call for the invisible-trim system rather than a visible thin-trim ring. This is a fixed downlight, not an adjustable gimbal.
At a glance: 8W • up to 770 lumens at 4000K/CRI95 (specified condition) • 24V DC constant voltage • 5CCT selectable (2700, 3000, 3500, 4000, 5000K) • CRI95 or CRI98 by selected SKU • 20°, 30° or 40° optic choices • white or black • 2-3/16-inch ROUND ceiling cutout • 4 inches space above ceiling • manufacturer lists Type IC, air tight and wet location • separately purchased compatible Lotus KVE driver required.

Configure the fixture by finish, reflector/beam and CRI. Each valid combination has its own manufacturer SKU and barcode. The product images represent the finish, while the selected SKU determines the actual optical system and LED grade.
- Two finishes: WH = White; BK = Black. This invisible-trim SKU family does not offer the five decorative finishes available for some thin-trim Tangra fixtures.
- Four optic combinations: RC20 = clear-glass reflector 20°; RC30 = clear-glass reflector 30°; RF30 = frosted-glass reflector 30°; RF40 = frosted-glass reflector 40°. The supplied orderable SKU set does not include RC40 or RF20.
- Two high-CRI options: 5C95 = CRI95 and 5C98 = CRI98. Both provide five selectable CCT positions: 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K and 5000K. The CRI is defined by the purchased LED-engine SKU, not altered by the CCT selector.
Selection guidance: Confirm white versus black for the ceiling finish, then choose the 20°, 30° or 40° required beam spread and reflector surface. The fixed luminaire does not aim or rotate. Lotus quotes up to 770 lm specifically at 4000K/CRI95; the selected CRI98, beam and CCT configurations may have different photometric outputs. Request exact-SKU photometric reports for calculations.

Installation distinction: The invisible-trim design is intended for trimless ceiling construction; it is not simply the visible thin-trim L2F-RDT with a different finish. Verify ceiling substrate, finishing method and the current Lotus installation manual before ordering and cutting. This one-page specification does not establish an exact plastering procedure or a fire-resistance-hour rating.
Required 24V KVE dimmable driver — purchased separately
Do not connect this fixture directly to 120–277V mains. L2F-RDI is an 8W, 24V DC constant-voltage fixture. Lotus specifies a separately purchased KVE 5-in-1 dimmable driver with 120–277V AC line input and 24V output. The driver is not included in the displayed fixture price.
| Compatible Lotus driver SKU | Driver wattage | Maximum L2F-RDI fixtures |
|---|---|---|
| KVE-24030-TMWJ1-VA | 30W | Up to 3 |
| KVE-24060-TMWJ1-VA | 60W | Up to 7 |
| KVE-24096-TMWJ1-VA | 96W | Up to 12 |
Shop the compatible Mini Tangra KVE drivers. These fixture counts are specific to this 8W L2F-RDI model and represent manufacturer maxima, not a guarantee that every installation can use the stated count regardless of cable run or dimming control. Check voltage drop, conductor selection, load, dimmer and installation instructions with the project electrician.
Invisible-trim opening and PR-236 rough-in plate
Lotus specifies a 2-3/16-inch round ceiling cutout with 4 inches of required overhead space. The separately ordered PR-236 26-inch flat rough-in plate is listed for this model; it is not included with the fixture. View Mini Tangra rough-in plates and select PR-236. Confirm project quantities and any supplier packaging minimum.
Regulatory guidance: The sheet lists Type IC, air tight and wet location. It does not specify a numeric IP value, fire-rated ceiling assembly duration or approval for underwater use. Confirm all applicable installation constraints and local codes.

Frequently asked purchasing questions
Is L2F-RDI a trimless fixture?
Yes. Lotus describes it as an invisible-trim / trimless-installation downlight. Follow the specific model's installation instructions for finishing; do not assume it mounts the same way as the visible thin-trim version.
Can it connect to 120V without a driver?
No. The fixture itself requires 24V DC constant voltage. Purchase a compatible Lotus KVE driver separately.
How many L2F-RDI fixtures fit on the 30W driver?
Lotus specifies up to 3 fixtures on KVE-24030-TMWJ1-VA, up to 7 on the 60W model and up to 12 on the 96W model, subject to the completed electrical design.
Does every SKU deliver 770 lumens?
Not established. Lotus specifies up to 770 lm at 4000K/CRI95. Different CRI grades, optical reflectors and CCT settings may affect output; request exact SKU photometrics for design.
Does it have a 2-inch ceiling cutout?
No. The manufacturer states a 2-3/16-inch ROUND ceiling opening for L2F-RDI and requires 4 inches of space above the ceiling.
Is stock already confirmed?
The October 2026 Lotus new-product announcement identified November 2026 as the planned stocking period for Mini Tangra. This is not a current Simply Controlled inventory count, confirmed supplier availability or committed shipping date.
