C&C Lighting

• 3000K (Warm White): Cozy and inviting, ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and hospitality environments where a relaxed atmosphere is preferred.
• 4000K (Cool Neutral): Clean and alert, the standard choice for kitchens, offices, and multi-purpose spaces where task visibility matters alongside comfort.
• 5000K (Daylight): Bright and energizing, suited to garages, utility rooms, workshops, and commercial spaces requiring high visual clarity.

The 3CCT switch is set at installation. It does not require re-wiring or a separate control device, making it simple to match the fixture to the room before securing it to the ceiling.

IP44 means the fixture is protected against solid objects larger than 1 mm (dust-resistant, not dust-tight) and against water splashing from any direction. This makes it suitable for:

• Bathrooms, including zones above bathtubs and showers where the fixture is not directly hit by water
• Covered exterior ceilings such as porches, carports, and covered walkways
• Laundry rooms and utility areas subject to steam or humidity
• Kitchens above sinks or cooktops where steam and condensation are present

IP44 is not rated for direct water jet exposure or submersion. For installations that may receive direct water spray (such as within a shower enclosure), an IP65 or higher rating is required.

The Cove is a surface-mount fixture, meaning it sits on top of the ceiling surface rather than inside a cut-out hole. This makes it the right choice when:

• The ceiling cannot be cut: Concrete slabs, pre-fabricated ceilings, or rented spaces where cutting is not permitted.
• There is no ceiling cavity: Flat concrete or plywood ceilings with no void above them.
• Speed of installation matters: Surface mount fixtures attach directly to an electrical box without cutting or framing work, reducing installation time significantly.
• The aesthetic is intentional: The low drum profile of the Cove sits cleanly against the ceiling and reads as a modern design choice rather than a compromise.

If a completely flush ceiling is required and a cavity exists, a recessed downlight is the better choice. For surface applications, the Cove's compact 3-inch height keeps the profile minimal.

• Hallways and entryways: The compact size and matte black finish suit modern homes. Install along a corridor at regular intervals for even ambient coverage.
• Kitchens: Above prep areas and breakfast bars where a surface mount is preferred over recessing into a concrete or insulated ceiling.
• Bedrooms: At 3000K for a warm, relaxed bedtime atmosphere. The glare-free diffuser avoids eye discomfort when looking up from bed.
• Bathrooms: IP44 covers bathroom zones outside the shower enclosure — above vanities, in the ceiling centre, and over soaking tubs (confirm CEC zone requirements with your electrician).
• Covered outdoor areas: Porches, carports, and covered terraces where ceiling exposure to humidity and occasional splashing is expected.
• Offices and commercial spaces: At 4000K or 5000K for clean, productive task lighting without the installation complexity of recessed fixtures in existing ceilings.

• The fixture surface-mounts to a standard ceiling electrical box. No ceiling cutout or cavity is required.
• Set the 3CCT switch to your preferred color temperature (3000K, 4000K, or 5000K) before securing the fixture to the ceiling.
• Rated for 120V input only. Confirm your ceiling circuit is 120V before installation.
• IP44 covers damp locations. This fixture is not rated for direct water jet exposure. Do not install inside a shower enclosure or any location subject to direct spray.
• The integrated LED module is not user-replaceable. If the LED fails after the rated lifespan, the fixture is replaced as a unit.
• Installation should be completed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes.

Can I install this in a shower?
No. IP44 covers water splashing from any direction but is not rated for direct water jets or high-humidity shower enclosures. For shower installations, a minimum IP65 rating is required. Confirm zone requirements with your electrician under the Canadian Electrical Code.

Can I change the color temperature after installation?
Yes, as long as you can access the onboard 3CCT switch. The switch is set before the fixture is secured to the ceiling. If you need to change it later, the fixture will need to be unclipped or unscrewed to access the switch.

Is the LED replaceable?
No. The 16W LED module is integrated into the fixture. It is maintenance-free during its rated lifespan. When the LED reaches end of life, the whole fixture is replaced.

Does this fixture come in other finishes?
The spec sheet lists matte black as the available finish for this model. Contact us if you require another finish for your project.

Can this be used outdoors?
The IP44 rating covers covered exterior locations such as porches and carports where the fixture is sheltered from direct rain. It is not suitable for exposed outdoor installations where rain can fall directly on it.
