2x4 LED Troffer 44W Selectable RAB SWISH AIR with HVAC Air-Return

A Troffer That Breathes — For Easier Ceiling Installations and a Cleaner Ceiling Look

The RAB SWISH AIR is built around a single idea: take two common elements of drop ceilings and combine them into one. Built-in vents integrate with the ceiling plenum, eliminating the separate return air grille that would otherwise sit near the fixture. The result is a simpler, faster installation for contractors and project managers, and a cleaner, more finished-looking ceiling for the students, patients, customers, and staff who spend their days beneath it — all without giving up the lighting performance RAB fixtures are known for.

• One Fixture, Two Jobs: Built-in vents route HVAC return air directly through the fixture body, integrating with the ceiling plenum to eliminate the need for separate return air grilles in the ceiling grid — fewer ceiling penetrations, less coordination between the electrical and mechanical trades, and a noticeably cleaner finished ceiling.
• One SKU, Three Power Levels: Field-select 26W, 35W, or 44W on-site to match the room's output requirements without ordering multiple SKUs.
• Three Selectable Color Temperatures: Dial in 3500K, 4000K, or 5000K before installation to suit office, healthcare, or retail environments.
• Uniform Ceiling with the SWISH Family: Shares the same center basket design as the RAB SWISH troffer line — mix SWISH AIR where air return is needed and standard SWISH troffers elsewhere, with no visible difference from below.
• 0-10V Dimmable: Dims smoothly from 100% down to 10% for energy savings and flexible light level control.
• Optional Factory-Installed Controls: Available with PIR or microwave occupancy sensing for automatic energy savings, or with Lightcloud Blue Bluetooth Mesh for luminaire-level lighting control — contact our sales team if needed.
• DLC Premium Listed: Qualifies for the highest tier of utility rebates — use the rebate finder at eledlights.com to check your local incentives.
• 5-Year Warranty: RAB's coverage includes light output, color stability, driver performance, and fixture finish — purchased through ELEDLights as an authorized RAB dealer.

Fewer ceiling penetrations and a cleaner finished look, without giving up the lighting performance a commercial space needs.

See the Difference

Two ceilings, similar rooms — one with standard troffers and separate return grilles, one with SWISH AIR troffers handling both jobs while reducing ceiling clutter. Fixtures shown are 2x2 SWISH AIR troffers; the same clean-ceiling result applies across the 1x4, 2x2, and 2x4 SWISH AIR family.

Ideal Applications

1. Open Offices & Conference Rooms: 35W or 44W at 4000K delivers bright, even task lighting while built-in return vents eliminate the need for a separate ceiling grille near the fixture.
2. Classrooms & Educational Spaces: Even illumination and integrated air return suit classroom ceilings where both lighting quality and air circulation are code and comfort priorities.
3. Healthcare Facilities: Clean ceiling appearance and efficient air handling suit exam rooms and corridors where infection control and ceiling cleanliness both matter — fewer penetrations mean fewer places for contaminants to collect.
4. Retail Spaces & Showrooms: A uniform ceiling appearance across the sales floor, mixing SWISH AIR where air return is needed with standard SWISH troffers elsewhere, without any visible difference in fixture appearance.
5. Renovation & Retrofit Projects: Where an existing HVAC return grille needs replacement alongside outdated fluorescent troffers, SWISH AIR consolidates both into a single fixture and a single T-bar opening.
6. New Construction with Plenum Return Air Design: Simplifies coordination between electrical and mechanical trades by combining two ceiling elements into one specified fixture.
