The Energy Star qualified, Title 24 compliant dimmable downlights feature energy efficient electronic ballasts and the latest CFL lamp technology. The downlights offer high light output, pleasing color temperatures and dimming from 15% to 100%.

Available for both the 5" (H573) and 6" (H273) aperture lines, 5" housings utilize 26W lamps and 6" housings utilize 26W and 32W lamps and accept either Triple Twin Tube or Double Twin Tube (quad) CFL lamps. The Halo Energy Star family has new construction and remodel housings to meet code requirements in new and renovation applications.

Housings in both the 5" and 6" lines are Air-Tite(TM), which meet restricted air flow code requirements, and IC (Insulated Ceiling) rated for direct contact with ceiling insulation.
