Five Abra Product Families, and How the Part Number Tells You Which One
Abra is a California LED fixture manufacturer whose catalog splits cleanly into five families. The split is not cosmetic. Each family carries a different location rating, so the family you pick decides whether the fixture is legal on a bathroom wall, a covered porch, or an exposed exterior wall. The part number tells you the family before you open the product page, which matters when you are working through 258 items 16 at a time.
Which Abra family you need
All five families share the same electrical basics, so the dimming decision is common to the whole range. These are 120V integrated LED fixtures, and the product data lists C•L and ELV compatibility on the large majority of them. C•L is the control rating for a forward-phase dimmer built to handle LED and CFL loads, and ELV means reverse-phase electronic low-voltage control. If you are specifying controls alongside the fixtures, start in ELV and 0-10V dimmers rather than assuming a standard dimmer will hold.
10001 to 10168 PN, pendants
Forty-two items, all rated dry location only. This family covers single pendants, ring pendants, and linear bar pendants, and it holds the physically largest fixtures in the range, including 36 inch, 48 inch, and 60 inch illuminated rings. Do not use a PN fixture over a tub, in a shower, or under an open porch. Eight of the 42 offer selectable 3CCT.
10080 to 10083 CP, Uni-Jack canopies
Four items, dry location. Uni-Jack is Abra's name for a plug-and-socket ceiling system, so these are multi-port canopies that Uni-Jack pendants plug into instead of being hardwired individually. They are sold in tri-port, six-port, nine-port, and a convertible flat or barrel version. The number block overlaps the pendant range, so the CP suffix is what separates a canopy from a pendant.
20001 to 20180 WV, bath and vanity bars
Eighty-five items, the largest family, every one damp location rated. This is the family to use above a mirror or across a vanity. Sixty-five carry an ADA-compliant projection flag, which is the deciding attribute in hotel, multifamily, and commercial restroom work where wall projection is limited.
30002 to 30099 FM, flush and semi-flush mounts
Fifty-seven items. Fifty-three are damp location and four are wet location, so this is the one family where the rating is not uniform and you have to read the individual product page. Three of the 57 are semi-flush rather than true flush, which changes the ceiling clearance you need.
50000 to 50149 ODW, outdoor wall fixtures
Seventy items, all wet location rated, which is what an exposed exterior wall requires. Forty-three carry an ADA projection flag. Fourteen are described as marine grade, and five of those offer a 316 stainless steel finish as an orderable option, which is the specification to reach for on coastal and pool deck projects where 304 stainless will pit.

Where Abra sits in the Lumera catalog
Abra is currently filed into one Lumera category collection. Thirty of the 42 pendants appear in pendant lights alongside the other decorative pendant brands, which is the place to cross-shop Abra against Kuzco, Alora, and ELCO on the same page. The 12 that are missing from that collection are the ring pendants, the linear bar pendants, and the four Uni-Jack canopies.
The other four families, all 216 of them, are reachable from this brand page and from site search, and are not currently listed in the vanity, ceiling, wall sconce, or outdoor wall collections. Sort this page by product type or filter by price to work through them. Rating and control choices are explained further in the lighting guides.
Reading an Abra part number
The number block
Abra numbers run five digits, and the leading digit is the family. A part starting with 2 is a vanity bar, a part starting with 3 is a ceiling mount, and a part starting with 5 is an outdoor wall fixture. Parts starting with 1 are ceiling hung, but that block covers both pendants and canopies, so read the letters before you order.
The letter suffix
The two or three letters after the number name the family: PN for pendant, CP for canopy, WV for wall vanity, FM for flush mount, and ODW for outdoor wall. So 50109ODW is an outdoor wall fixture and 20166WV is a vanity bar, and you can tell them apart in a quote without a catalog.
The finish code
Everything after the hyphen is finish, and the codes are consistent across all 529 orderable variants on this page. Filter on the code rather than the name when a job has to match across families.

A handful of decorative parts use a compound code such as MB.BB or MB-SMK, where the first half is the metal finish and the second half is a secondary finish or a glass color. Those are read left to right in the same way.
One thing the numbering does not encode is a driver selection, because these are integrated fixtures with the driver built in. You are not pairing them with anything from LED drivers and power supplies the way you would with tape light or a remote-driver downlight.
Pairing pendants with a Uni-Jack canopy
Uni-Jack is the only real compatibility question inside the Abra range, and it is worth understanding before you quote a multi-pendant cluster. A Uni-Jack canopy is a single ceiling box mount with three, six, or nine plug ports, and Uni-Jack pendants plug into it rather than each needing its own box and driver. Thirteen products in the range reference the system, four canopies and nine pendants.
The canopies are rated 18W on the tri-port, 36W on the six-port, and 54W on the nine-port, which works out to roughly 6W per port. The plug-in pendants in the range draw between 5W and 7W each, so a full nine-pendant load can sit at or slightly above the canopy rating depending on which pendants you choose. Confirm the total load with Abra before you commit to a mixed cluster. If you want a rail-based system instead of a fixed canopy, that is a different product entirely and lives in track and accent lighting.
Ordering notes for finishes and freight
Finish is the only variant option on every Abra product, so the listing you are looking at is one fixture in one finish, not a pack or an assortment. The 258 products carry 529 finish variants between them, which averages close to two finishes per fixture. Matte black is the most widely available at 118 products, followed by brushed nickel at 103 and chrome at 99. If your submittal calls for a finish that is not listed on the product page, it is not a stocked option on that part number.
Twenty-two items in the range are flagged as freight rather than parcel, and 20 of those are large ring or linear pendants. That is a handling designation on the product, not a lead time, and it is worth catching at quote stage on a job with several oversized pendants. Mounting hardware is fixture-specific, so confirm the box you are landing on from device and outlet boxes against the canopy dimensions on the product page.
Specs to confirm before ordering
The parameters below are the ones that actually move within Abra's range, so these are the fields to check on the individual product page rather than assume from the brand. Dimmer type is the one that causes the most callbacks, because a fixture listed for C•L and ELV control will flicker or drop out on the wrong dimmer. Cross-check the fixture listing against the specific model in standard dimmers before you order both.
- Location rating. Dry, damp, or wet. Uniform within four of the five families, mixed within the FM flush mounts.
- Color temperature. Most parts are fixed 3000K. The 22 3CCT parts switch between 3000K, 3500K, and 4000K, with at least one exception running 2700K, 3350K, and 4000K.
- Wattage and lumen output. Delivered lumens across the range span roughly 425 to 13,600, so a family alone tells you nothing about output.
- Dimming protocol. C•L and ELV dominate. A small number of parts list 0-10V or TRIAC instead.
- Supply voltage. 120V on the large majority. A handful of pendants are listed 120-277V, which matters on commercial gear.
- ADA projection. Flagged on 108 items, 65 vanity bars and 43 outdoor sconces, and on nothing in the pendant or flush mount families.
- Title 24 and JA8. Flagged on 34 items. If the job is in California and the space is regulated, this narrows your options sharply.
- Safety listing. Product copy on this range shows cETL listings rather than UL. If a specification names UL specifically, verify the individual part before substituting.
- Stainless grade. On outdoor parts offered in stainless, confirm whether the option is 304 or 316. Only 316 belongs within salt spray range.
Verify the fixture against the governing code and the authority having jurisdiction for your project, since a damp rating is not a substitute for a wet rating and a manufacturer listing is not a code approval. Lumera's installation and code disclaimer sets out where that responsibility sits.
Abra ordering and compatibility questions
What is the difference between a WV, FM, and ODW part number?
They are three different families with three different location ratings. WV parts are damp-rated bath and vanity bars for wall mounting above or beside a mirror. FM parts are ceiling flush and semi-flush mounts, mostly damp rated with four wet-rated exceptions. ODW parts are wet-rated outdoor wall fixtures built for exposed exterior walls. The letters are the fastest way to sort a mixed quote.
Can I put an Abra vanity bar on a covered porch?
Only if the location genuinely qualifies as damp and never where the fixture can be hit by rain or spray. Every WV part in this range is damp rated, not wet rated. For an exposed exterior wall you need a 5xxxx ODW part. If the porch is deep, roofed, and enclosed on three sides, a damp rating can work, but that call belongs to the inspector on the job, not the catalog.
Which dimmer works with Abra fixtures?
Most of the range is listed for C•L and ELV control, which means a reverse-phase or LED-rated forward-phase dimmer rather than a generic incandescent dimmer. A small number of parts specify 0-10V or TRIAC instead. Check the individual product page, because getting this wrong is the most common source of flicker and low-end dropout on integrated LED fixtures.
Do Abra pendants need a separate driver or transformer?
No. These are integrated LED fixtures with the driver built into the product, so you are not ordering a remote driver or a low-voltage transformer alongside them. The exception in spirit is the Uni-Jack canopy, which powers its plug-in pendants from the canopy itself rather than from a driver you supply.
What do the letters after the hyphen mean?
They are the finish. MB is matte black, BN is brushed nickel, CH is chrome, SL is silica, BB is brushed brass, and BZ is bronze, with 304STS and 316STS marking stainless grade on some outdoor parts. Finish is the only variant option Abra products carry here, so the finish code is the difference between two otherwise identical part numbers.
Are all Abra fixtures 3000K?
No, though most are. The majority ship at a fixed 3000K, and 22 items are field-selectable 3CCT, typically switching between 3000K, 3500K, and 4000K. Nearly the entire range is listed at 90+ CRI, which is the more useful number when you are matching an existing installation, because two 3000K fixtures at different CRI values will not render finishes the same way.
