MaxLite DSKL Series: Color-Selectable Disk Lights, One SKU for Five CCTs

MaxLite's DSKL Series Disk Light ships in two sizes on one platform: a 4 inch, 10W model and a 6 inch, 15W model, both selectable across the same five color temperatures, 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, and 5000K, and both TRIAC dimmable with a CRI of 90 or higher. The CCT selection happens at the driver, not by ordering a different part number, so switching sizes on a job doesn't mean switching how CCT gets set. Order the wrong CCT off a fixed-CCT SKU and it is a return authorization; hold either DSKL size on the truck instead, and getting it right is a switch flip before the fixture goes up.

Two situations account for most of the orders on this platform: a facility team standardizing corridor, closet, and bathroom fixtures across a multifamily or hospitality property where ceiling penetrations vary in size from unit to unit, and an electrical contractor bidding a job where the existing aperture calls for a 4 inch fixture in one room and a 6 inch fixture in the next, off the same submittal. Both sizes are UL certified for wet locations, ENERGY STAR certified, and rated to 50,000 hours L70, and the 6 inch model also ships as a 6-pack SKU for multi-unit orders.

The DSKL Platform

Both sizes in the DSKL Series share the same platform: a field-selectable CCT driver, TRIAC dimming, a CRI of 90 or higher, and a flush or surface mount design that RelightDepot's own listings describe as eliminating the need for a separate recessed can housing. The CCT selector, the certifications, and the dimming behavior do not change between the 4 inch and 6 inch models; only the wattage, lumen output, and physical footprint do.

That consistency is the actual sourcing benefit. A contractor who learns how to set the CCT selector on the 4 inch model already knows how to do it on the 6 inch model. A facility manager standardizing a punch list across a property is not training crews on two different fixture logics, just two different aperture sizes.

The Range

The two SKUs split on wattage, lumen output, and the ceiling penetration they fit, not on CCT range, CRI, or certifications. The table below lines up what is confirmed on RelightDepot's own listings for each.

Both models carry a CRI of 90 or higher, TRIAC dimming, UL certification for wet locations, ENERGY STAR certification, and a 50,000-hour L70 rating.

How to Pick Within the Family

The lumen package and the CCT get set in the spec on new construction or a designed renovation. The designer or engineer of record targets a foot-candle level for the space and calls out a CCT to match. Where this family earns its place is in matching that call, or the existing condition, without a resubmittal.

Size is often decided by what is already there. The 4 inch model fits an existing penetration or trim ring where a 6 inch aperture will not, which makes it the practical pick for a closet, a small bathroom, or any retrofit where the existing hole in the ceiling is already cut to 4 inches. The 6 inch model's higher lumen output suits a larger room or a higher ceiling where the fixture has more area to cover, but confirm the target foot-candle level with the designer or engineer before assuming a lumen package matches the space. That call belongs to whoever wrote the spec, not the person installing it.

Best-Fit Applications at a Glance

Weighing the confirmed specs against real jobsite conditions, these applications stand out for the DSKL Series.

• Multifamily and hospitality retrofit: corridor, closet, and bathroom fixtures standardized across units with mixed existing aperture sizes.
• Light commercial tenant improvement: build-outs where the CCT call is still open when material has to be ordered.
• Wet and damp interior spaces: bathrooms, laundry rooms, and similar areas covered by the UL wet-location certification on both sizes.
• California jobs: the 4 inch model's listing notes support for Title 24 Part 6 high-efficacy lighting requirements. That designation is not listed on the 6 inch model's page; confirm directly if Title 24 compliance is required for that size.

Sourcing and Installation Across the Line

Both sizes mount for flush or surface installation, the kind of retrofit or new-construction job where a junction box is already in place and a separate can housing is not required. That is the main sourcing advantage of the platform: swapping a fixture does not mean opening up the ceiling to change the can.

TRIAC dimming is listed on both models, but "TRIAC dimmable" on a product listing is not a guarantee against every dimmer already installed on a job. Confirm against the dimmer manufacturer's LED compatibility documentation before promising dimmed performance, especially on a multi-gang box with several fixtures on one dimmer leg.

One sourcing detail worth flagging before you search the catalog: the 4 inch model lists under RelightDepot's Disc Lights and Wafer Lights category, while both 6 inch SKUs list under Flush Mount Decorative Ceiling Lights. Search by model number or wattage if you are pulling the full family, rather than assuming all three sit in the same category.

Warranty on both models is listed as 5 years against manufacturing defects. It does not cover improper installation, misuse, or replacement labor, per the listing, so factor labor into the job cost the same way you would on any LED retrofit rather than assuming a defect claim covers a callback.

The MX-DSKL-4R10T9CS-W and MX-DSKL-6R15T9CS-W are available through RelightDepot individually, and the 6 inch model is also available as a 6-pack for multi-unit orders. Both sizes run the same field-selectable CCT platform, TRIAC dimming, and wet-location certification, so one submittal covers the full range a job calls for.
