## More about Ortech
Ortech makes recessed LED downlights for residential and light commercial ceilings. The SLIM4FL+FR-5CCT listed here is a 4-inch fire-rated floating gimbal recessed LED with adjustable colour temperature, from $19. Two features matter on this fixture. The fire rating means it can be installed in a fire-separated ceiling assembly without an added fire box, which is the usual sticking point in condos and multi-unit buildings. The adjustable 5-CCT selector lets you set colour temperature at install rather than committing to a single colour when you order, and the gimbal lets you aim the beam off vertical.
**What does fire rated mean on a recessed light?**
It means the fixture is tested and listed for installation in a rated fire-separated ceiling assembly without compromising that rating, so no separate fire-protective enclosure is needed above it. This is what makes it usable in condos, apartments and other multi-unit ceilings.
**What is a 5-CCT selectable downlight?**A switch on the fixture lets you pick from five colour temperatures at install time, typically ranging from warm to cool white. You order one part number and decide the colour on site, which is useful when matching existing lighting.
**What does the gimbal do?**It lets the light module tilt off vertical inside the housing, so you can aim the beam at artwork, a wall or a work surface rather than straight down. Fixed downlights cannot be aimed.
**Can I install this in an insulated ceiling?**Check the IC rating on the product specification before covering the fixture with insulation. A fixture that is not IC rated must be kept clear of insulation by the distance stated in its listing.
**Are these dimmable, and with which dimmer?**Check the product page for the dimming range and compatible dimmer types. LED dimming compatibility is specific to the driver, and using an incompatible dimmer causes flicker or a limited range rather than smooth control.
