At 35mm and 42mm, T20 LB1 and T20 LB2 are the smallest fixtures in the entire NEUE range — 2W each, 24° focused beam, CRI greater than 90, On/Off, black — and they exist for a job the larger accent fixtures cannot do well: lighting objects small enough that a 6W or 12W spot would simply overwhelm them.

A jewellery display case, a small sculpture on a narrow shelf, individual retail merchandise on a compact fixture — these are situations where the target is close (within 1-2 metres of the track) and physically small, and where a standard NEUE spot's output would blow out the object rather than accent it. The 2W rating solves the brightness problem; the sub-45mm length solves the spacing problem, since these fixtures can sit far closer together on a track than any other NEUE product without visually crowding each other. Where a display case might fit two 12W T2012 spots along its length, the same run of track accommodates six to eight LB1 units.

The two lengths, 35mm and 42mm, are functionally near-identical — the difference is minor enough to be a fitting or mounting variation rather than a performance choice, and either works interchangeably for close-range, small-object accent work.

What is the actual use case for a 2W spot light this small?

Close-range accent on small objects — jewellery display, small sculpture, compact retail merchandise — within 1-2 metres of the track, where a standard 6W or larger NEUE spot would overwhelm the target. The compact length also allows far tighter fixture spacing than any other NEUE product, useful where multiple small accent points are needed along a short section of track.

Because these are the smallest fixtures in the range, handling and installation benefit from care disproportionate to their size — the compact magnetic connection, while secure once seated, is easier to misalign during initial fitting than the larger NEUE fixtures, simply due to the smaller contact area involved.

Is there anything different about installing these compared to larger NEUE fixtures?

The magnetic connection mechanism is identical, but the smaller contact area on these compact fixtures makes correct initial seating slightly more deliberate than on larger units. Confirming a firm, flush magnetic seat before releasing during installation avoids a fixture that appears connected but isn't fully seated.
