This is the Illuminiche niche on its own — the same waterproof, tile-ready shell and patented magnetic COB light channel that lifts out from the front for service without disturbing a single tile — for installers who already run their own 24V driver or prefer a junction-box setup. You get all the serviceability and premium light of the full kit, minus the switch.
Each niche is built from 1/2" high-density foam with a factory waterproof coating, IP67-rated and safe for wet-area installation, and it tiles over cleanly with ceramic, porcelain, stone, or glass. The cut-anywhere COB channel throws an even, hot-spot-free glow (up to 100,000 hours) in 2700K, 3000K, or 4000K, and it ships with the IP67 quick-connect harness for a solder-free hookup. It needs a 24V DC driver, which isn't included — pair it with the INSWITCHII 24V dimmer/driver (recommended, and required for the 5-year warranty) or your own compatible 24V driver. Slim 3.5" depth fits 2×4 framing, it works with Schluter and Wedi, and it's made in the USA — now including compact 5×8 and 8×5 sizes alongside the standard range.
Pro tip: Decide your driver first — the INSWITCHII for an all-in-one in-wall switch, or a junction-box 24V driver if that suits the job (use the INSWITCHII to keep the warranty). Set your tile with the 1/16" gap around the channel, free of thinset and grout, so it stays serviceable.
