NPR-4RC30XMPW 4" Pearl LED Round Adjustable Cone Retrofit 1000LM / 12W 3000K

NPR-4RC30XMPW 4" Pearl LED Round Adjustable Cone Retrofit 1000LM / 12W 3000K from Nora Lighting is a high-output, 4-inch LED retrofit downlight designed to upgrade existing recessed housings with modern performance, precise aiming, and excellent color quality for residential and commercial applications.

Benefits

• Upgrade existing 4" cans to high-efficacy LED without replacing the housing, using the included medium-base socket adapter for fast retrofit installs.
• Precisely aim the light with the adjustable cone design, allowing you to highlight artwork, countertops, or task areas instead of flooding the whole space.
• Deliver bright, high-quality illumination from a 12W LED module producing roughly 1200–1250 lumens at 3000K with 90+ CRI for excellent color rendering.
• Meet strict energy codes with ENERGY STAR certification, Title 24 JA8 high-efficacy compliance, damp-location rating, and a 5-year limited warranty.

Key Features

• 4" adjustable cone retrofit with die-cast aluminum trim and integrated LED heat sink for durability and optimal thermal management.
• Field-changeable optics included (spot, narrow flood, flood) so you can fine-tune beam spread on site without tools or extra kits.
• High-performance LED engine delivering up to about 1250 lumens at 12W, 3000K, 90+ CRI, with a rated life of 50,000 hours (L70).
• Versatile dimming capability with integral driver supporting Triac (leading edge) or ELV (trailing edge) dimmers on 120V circuits.
• Simple friction-blade mounting that securely holds the trim in compatible 4" IC or Non-IC housings for a clean, flush ceiling appearance.
• Damp location and ENERGY STAR certified, RoHS compliant, and certified to California Title 24 JA8-2022 high-efficacy requirements.

Application Examples

• Accent lighting for artwork, niches, decorative walls, and architectural features using adjustable aiming and spot optics.
• Task and general lighting in kitchens, living rooms, hallways, and home offices where 4" recessed housings already exist.
• Commercial retrofit upgrades in hospitality, retail, and office spaces requiring high-CRI, energy-efficient downlighting.
• Damp-location installations such as covered patios, bathrooms (non-shower zone), and other moisture-prone interiors.
• Projects seeking Title 24 JA8-compliant, ENERGY STAR-rated LED downlights without replacing existing 4" cans.

Installation Tips

• Disconnect power at the breaker before beginning any retrofit work on the recessed housing.
• Remove the existing lamp and trim, then screw the included medium-base socket adapter into the existing E26 socket inside the housing.
• Connect the LED module to the socket adapter, carefully managing wires so they rest inside the housing without pinching.
• Insert the retrofit trim into the housing, using the friction blades to secure the assembly flush with the ceiling surface.
• Select the desired optic (spot, narrow flood, or flood) before final aiming; optics can be changed later by removing the module from the trim.
• Aim the adjustable cone toward the surface or area you want to highlight, staying within the housing’s rated tilt angle.
• Pair with compatible dimmers for best performance; use high-quality Triac or ELV dimmers and avoid mixing different lamp types on the same circuit when possible.
• Follow local codes and guidelines, especially for IC vs. Non-IC housings and any Title 24 requirements in your jurisdiction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this retrofit fit my existing 4" recessed housing?

The NPR-4RC30XMPW is designed to retrofit most standard 4" IC and Non-IC housings from Nora and many other manufacturers. As long as your housing uses a medium-base (E26) lamp socket and has enough depth for the module, it should be compatible. For dedicated Nora LED housings, check the compatible housing list to ensure the best fit.

Why does the product name say 1000LM when the spec sheet shows higher lumen values?

The product title lists 1000LM as a rounded, easy-to-reference output class. The detailed photometric data in the Nora spec sheet shows delivered lumens in the roughly 1200–1250 lumen range depending on the optic used. In practice, you can expect performance comparable to or better than a typical 75W PAR-style halogen in a 4" can.

Can I adjust the beam spread on site?

Yes. Each Pearl 4" adjustable cone retrofit includes three field-changeable optics: spot, narrow flood, and flood. You can swap optics by removing the LED module from the die-cast trim, changing the lens, and reinstalling the module. Optional premium TIR optics are also available for tighter, higher-definition beams.

Is the NPR-4RC30XMPW dimmable?

The NPR-4RC30XMPW uses an integral dimmable driver that supports both Triac (leading edge) and ELV (trailing edge) dimmers on 120V circuits. For the smoothest operation and lowest flicker, choose a high-quality dimmer listed by Nora on their compatibility resources and dedicate the circuit to LED loads when possible.

Can I use this retrofit in damp locations like bathrooms?

Yes. This product is cULus classified for use in damp locations, making it suitable for many bathroom and covered outdoor applications. Avoid direct exposure to water, such as inside shower enclosures, unless the housing and trim combination is specifically rated for wet locations.

Does this model have Comfort Dim (warm dimming) capability?

The NPR-4RC30XMPW is a fixed 3000K model. Comfort Dim versions in the Pearl series are identified by the CDX option and provide warm-dimming performance from about 3100K down to 2000K. If you require warm dimming, select a Pearl retrofit with the CDX designation instead of the 30X CCT code.

What is the expected lifetime and warranty?

The Pearl LED module is rated for 50,000 hours at L70, meaning it is designed to maintain at least 70% of its initial light output for that operating time under normal conditions. Nora Lighting backs the product with a 5-year limited warranty, providing long-term confidence for residential and commercial installations.

Is this retrofit compliant with California Title 24 JA8?

Yes. The Pearl 4" adjustable cone retrofit is certified to meet the high-efficacy requirements of California Title 24 JA8-2022. This compliance, combined with ENERGY STAR certification and high CRI, makes the NPR-4RC30XMPW suitable for projects with stringent energy code requirements.

What accessories are available for this retrofit?

Nora offers several accessories for the Pearl series, including translucent decorative collars in various colors and lengths, opaque snoot collars to reduce aperture brightness, and a hex cell louver that softens glare while reducing output slightly. Accessories install between the LED module and trim and can be added at any point in the design process.

Can I use this retrofit in shallow or fire-rated housings?

The Pearl retrofit is compatible with many dedicated Nora housings, including shallow, ICAT, and fire-rated LED housings. In shallow housings, the available tilt angle is reduced, but the module remains adjustable. Always verify housing compatibility and follow manufacturer guidance when using specialty housings.
