Compact 1-Inch Aperture Recessed Downlight Modules for Drywall and Millwork

The Nexus 1 is a 1-inch aperture 3W Downlight Module is a compact lighting module designed for use in recessed downlighting applications when mounted into drywall, millwork or cabinetry. Its housing is designed for 1-Up and 3-Up optics. It includes an LED star board, an LED optic (with optic holder) and is encased in precision machined housing. LED star board has solder connections to its PCB. The lighting module is supplied with 6-inch wire leads coming out the back to connect to your constant current source. Additional star boards, optics and optic holders are available, and it is easy to swap any of the light engine components by disassembling the lighting module housing.

The LED Lighting Module Consists of:

  • Module housing (1.25" Diameter x 1.25" Tall)
  • LED Star board 
  • LED Optic 
  • Optic Holder (not needed for 3-Up Modules)

QUICK SPECS

  • 1-Up or 3-Up 20mm LED Star (MCPCB)
  • 1-Up or 3-Up 20mm Carclo Lens & Holder
  • Mounting thread: 1/2" NPT Threaded Hole
  • 2-piece threaded housing (male/female)
  • Module dimensions: 0.99" Diameter, 1.46" Tall

All NEW Assembly

The Dynamic Module has a precision housing that screws together thanks to the threaded pieces. This housing design gives you the option of changing out your LED star board or optic (additional components sold separately). This is especially handy for product development or lighting designers who wish to try different power and light distributions on a project. During assembly of the modules, we use thermal compound on the threads before we complete the housing, this aids in the thermal transfer therefore protecting your LEDs.

Expanded LED Choice

This Module is compatible with any of our 20mm LED Stars. Our full line of Cree and Luxeon 1-Up and 3-Up high-power LEDs can be placed in this module, just take your pick and then select your color.

Improved Optics & Lighting Distributions

We use 20mm optics from Fusion Optix and other leading providers in these kits. All you need to do is select whether you would like spot, medium, wide or elliptical light distribution. These optics work great with the 20mm stars, for 1-Up versions we include an optic holder that the optic sits in on top of the LED. The 3-Up versions do not require an optic holder since the optic itself incorporates features that ensure it is aligned and held steady in the assembly.

Power (not included)

The Dynamic LED Light Kit is a light module only and not a light engine; meaning this does not include an LED driver. Just like any raw LED, these kits will require an appropriate power source and integrated circuit or LED driver. For selecting the correct LED driver, we have a complete guide on understanding LED drivers. Our recommendation for drive current is:  350mA for a 3-Up and 700mA for a 1-Up.

Interested in a kit that provides a power source? Check out the Dynamic LED light engine kits offered in a 5-Watt and 10-Watt options. The light engine heatsink kits are larger than this light kit as they provide extra space in the bottom for your LED driver. They also are able to power more than the recommended 3 Watts of this smaller kit.

Mounting

The 1/2" NPT thread on the base of these housings can be used for mounting, however we have seen these heat sinks used in a wide variety of applications where the threads weren't used at all. 1/2" NPT accessories can often be found in the electrical and plumbing sections in your local hardware store.
