The Lightolier by Signify FD8R13ESCT1W is a versatile 8-inch round ultra-thin LED flat downlight designed to provide the clean appearance of traditional recessed lighting without requiring a conventional recessed can housing. Its wafer-thin profile makes it an excellent solution for new construction, remodeling projects and challenging ceilings where space above the ceiling is limited.
The FD8R13ESCT1W delivers approximately 1300 lumens while consuming only 18 watts, providing bright, energy-efficient illumination suitable for residential, multifamily, hospitality, retail and light-commercial applications.
The fixture features five field-selectable color temperatures, allowing the installer to choose 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K or 5000K during installation. This flexibility allows a single fixture to provide anything from warm residential lighting to crisp daylight illumination.
High 90+ CRI provides excellent color rendering, helping furnishings, flooring, countertops, merchandise and interior finishes appear natural and accurately colored.
The FD8R13ESCT1W operates on 120V and features TRIAC dimming, allowing light levels to be adjusted with a compatible dimmer. The fixture is IC rated, allowing direct contact with insulation, and is rated for wet locations, providing additional flexibility for installation.
The ultra-thin canless design uses a separate junction box and eliminates the need for a traditional recessed housing. This makes the FD8R13ESCT1W an excellent problem-solving downlight for locations where ceiling joists, ductwork or limited plenum space make conventional recessed lighting difficult to install.

1300 LUMEN OUTPUT
The FD8R13ESCT1W produces approximately 1300 lumens while using only 18 watts of power.
This provides substantial illumination from an extremely thin fixture and makes the 8-inch downlight a strong option for larger rooms and applications where more light is desired than a typical smaller wafer downlight.
The broad light distribution also helps provide smooth, even general illumination throughout the space.
5 SELECTABLE COLOR TEMPERATURES
The FD8R13ESCT1W provides five field-selectable color temperatures:
2700K – Soft / Warm White – Warm, comfortable illumination ideal for bedrooms, living rooms, restaurants and hospitality applications.
3000K – Warm White – Clean warm illumination commonly used throughout homes, apartments, hotels and residential interiors.
3500K – Neutral White – Balanced illumination suitable for both residential and commercial environments.
4000K – Cool / Neutral White – Crisp illumination popular in kitchens, offices, retail spaces and work areas.
5000K – Daylight – Bright white daylight appearance for applications where cooler, more energetic illumination is preferred.
The desired color temperature is selected during installation using the selector located on the fixture's junction box.
ULTRA-THIN CANLESS DESIGN
The FD8R13ESCT1W provides the appearance of a traditional recessed downlight without requiring a conventional recessed can.
Its extremely thin profile makes it especially useful in locations where ceiling joists, ductwork or limited space above the ceiling can interfere with traditional recessed housings.
The fixture installs through approximately a 7.7-inch ceiling opening and uses spring clips to secure the downlight to the ceiling.

INSTALLATION
The FD8R13ESCT1W is a canless ultra-thin LED downlight, eliminating the need for a conventional recessed housing.
The included independent junction box houses the electrical connections and the color-temperature selector. During installation, the desired 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K or 5000K setting can be selected before positioning the fixture in the ceiling.
The fixture is then secured into the ceiling opening using integrated spring clips.
Because the fixture is IC rated, it can be installed in applications where direct contact with insulation is required.
