|---|---|---|
| Wattage Options | 12W/16W/20W | Right-sized output for smaller architectural applications without over-lighting intimate spaces |
| CCT Options | 3000K/4000K/5000K | Match warm, neutral, or cool light to the architecture and surroundings on-site |

| CRI | 90 | Renders masonry, stone, wood, and plantings accurately — essential for architectural applications |
| Distribution | Up / Down / Bidirectional | DIP switch controls light direction for uplighting, downlighting, or simultaneous wall grazing |
| Photocell | Integrated dusk-to-dawn | Automated operation without external controls or additional wiring |
Precise Where It Counts, Flexible Where It Matters
The RAB CD34 is a 4" architectural cylinder sconce suited to building entries, walkways, courtyards, and facade lighting at properties where scale, finish, and field adjustability matter — precise enough for a lighting designer's specification, practical enough for a contractor's installation.
- Selectable CCT Eliminates Specification Risk: Choose 3000K, 4000K, or 5000K in the field to harmonize with existing lighting, accommodate design revisions, or satisfy changing client requirements.
- Field-Swappable Beam Angle: Ships with a 40° medium beam suited to building entries and signage illumination. Swap to an optional 25° reflector for dramatic column uplighting and architectural detail, or a 60° reflector for broad wall washing and security coverage — both sold separately.
- Configurable Light Distribution: DIP switch selects up-only for architectural emphasis on soffits and overhangs, down-only for safety and wayfinding, or both simultaneously for sophisticated wall grazing — set during installation and adjust if site requirements change.
- 90 CRI for Accurate Color Rendering: Renders masonry, stone, wood, metal panels, and plantings authentically — essential for upscale retail, fine dining, hospitality, and residential applications where material quality and color accuracy contribute to the overall aesthetic.
- Integrated Photocell with On/Off Override: Factory-installed dusk-to-dawn photocell provides automated operation without external controls or additional wiring, with an on/off override switch for manual control when needed.
- IP65 for Interior and Exterior Use: Weatherproof rating handles driving rain, snow, and airborne dust in outdoor applications while remaining appropriate for indoor installation — suitable for covered walkways, atriums, lobbies, and mixed environments.
- 5-Year RAB Warranty: Industry-respected coverage on driver, optics, and finish — purchased through ELEDLights as an authorized RAB dealer.
Easy-Swap Optics — Adjust Up & Down Beams Independently
Ideal Applications
- Building Entries & Main Doorways: 40° standard beam at 12–20W delivers appropriately scaled illumination for residential and boutique commercial entries without the visual weight of a larger 6" fixture.
- Covered Walkways & Colonnades: Bidirectional distribution grazes both the ceiling soffit and the walking surface simultaneously — IP65 rating handles outdoor exposure.
- Hospitality & Senior Living Exteriors: Warm 3000K output and high CRI create an inviting, comfortable lighting environment at hotel entrances, resort pathways, and assisted living community exteriors.
- Boutique Retail & Restaurant Facades: 90 CRI renders signage, materials, and window displays accurately — configurable beam angle adapts to signage illumination or broader facade washing as needed.
- Modern & Contemporary Architecture: Clean black cylinder form suits glass, steel, concrete, and modern cladding materials where a warmer bronze finish would conflict with the design language.
How It Compares
The RAB CD34 4" is purpose-built for architectural applications where adjustability, color accuracy, and finish quality matter. Here's how it compares to a standard architectural sconce.
| RAB CD34 4" | Standard Architectural Sconce | |
|---|---|---|
| Beam Angle Options | 25°, 40°, or 60° — field-swappable reflectors | Fixed at order; swap requires new fixture |
| CCT Selectability | 3000/4000/5000K on-site | Fixed color temp at order |
| Wattage Selectability | 12W/16W/20W on-site | Fixed wattage at order |
| CRI | 90 — accurate material color rendering | Typically 80 |
| Up/Down Distribution | Up-only, down-only, or full up/down via DIP switch | Fixed or requires separate fixtures |
| Built-In Photocell | Integrated with manual override | Separate sensor typically required |
| Risk of Returns if Site Changes | None — adjust on-site | New order likely needed |
A standard architectural sconce delivers light. The RAB CD34 delivers light calibrated to the specific application — and lets you recalibrate in the field without a return or a reorder.
