RAB SWISHAIR2X2/MVS SWISH AIR LED Troffer — 35W/26W/18W Selectable — 3500K/4000K/5000K — Microwave Sensor — White

The RAB SWISHAIR2X2/MVS is a 2×2 recessed LED air-return troffer with a factory-installed microwave occupancy sensor, designed for commercial T-grid ceilings requiring integrated HVAC return-air functionality and occupancy-based energy control. Wattage is field-selectable between 35W (factory default), 26W, and 18W, and CCT is field-selectable between 3500K, 4000K (factory default), and 5000K — both via onboard switch, no tools required. At peak output, the fixture delivers 4,703 lumens at 35W / 4000K with a peak efficacy of 146.4 lm/W at 18W / 4000K. The SWISHAIR2X2/MVS operates on 120–277V with a 0–10V dimming driver and is UL Listed for dry and damp locations and DLC 5.1 Listed as Ultra-Efficient Premium. Replaces conventional fluorescent 2×2 troffer fixtures.

Smart & Control Features

The SWISHAIR2X2/MVS includes a factory-installed microwave occupancy sensor and supports 0–10V dimming. The MVS sensor emits high-frequency microwave signals to detect fine motion through minor obstructions such as partitions and bathroom stalls — ideal for subdivided spaces where PIR line-of-sight is limited. Sensor defaults: Motion Sensitivity High · 100% brightness when triggered · 20-min hold time · 20% standby dim · 1-min standby time · Daylight Disabled. Settings adjustable via MSR1 remote accessory (sold separately).
