The origins of the Cooper Lighting Company can be traced to 1956, when the Halo Lighting Company was first formed. Halo began with the simple philosophy of producing high-quality, easy-to-install fixtures for home and commercial use. Since that time Cooper has incorporated several lines of lighting fixtures, including track lighting, area lighting, fluorescent lights, vandal-proof fixtures, and recessed lighting.
At Residential Landscape Lighting & Design, we specialize in Halo recessed downlighting fixtures for home use. Our Halo Recessed Downlight housings, trims and bulbs are sold separately for maximum customability.
The following are a few highlights from our entire Cooper Lighting / Halo product selection:
Halo Recessed Downlight Housings.
For remodeling projects, Halo offers the Halo – H99RT, a 4” non-insulated remodel housing which fits a PAR20/R20 incandescent bulb. This low voltage Halo fixture is for use in existing ceilings where the insulation can be kept 3” from all sides. The small aperture is suited to provide accent and task lighting. Pre-installed captive bar hangers allow the housing to be positioned at any point within a 24” joist span.
For sloped ceilings, Halo offers the Halo - H47ICT and the Halo - H47T for use in insulated and non-insulated ceilings, respectively. These fixtures are designed for sloped ceiling installations, ranging from 2/12 to 6/12 pitch. Their unique arrowhead design provides “nail-less” installation.
For new construction housing, Halo recommends the Halo – H99T. This incandescent fixture comes with housing and hanger bars, and can be easily positioned within a 24” joist span. Score lines are provided for easy field shortening for 12” joists. The H99T may be installed into non-insulated ceilings, or ceilings where the insulation can be kept 3” from housing.
Low voltage recessed downlight fixtures are also available, for new construction (Halo – H1499T), non-insulated (Halo – H7RT) and insulated applications (Halo – H1499RT). Fitted with magnetic transformers, these fixtures easily downgrade line voltage to low voltage current.
Halo Recessed Downlight Trims.
The housing units described above should be accompanied by compatible trims, which come in a variety of styles and colors. For low voltage fixtures, you may choose from such trims as the Halo – H1420P featuring a slotted aperture in matte white. Baffle trims such as the Halo – H1419P offer a narrow aperture that traps and shapes light to minimize glare and reduce brightness by narrowing the focus of the downlighting beam. They also provide control for reflector style (R, BR and PAR) lamps. The white Eyeball Trim – 1498 is another popular option, which fits a 60-Watt MR16 downlight, and allows you to point the light in any direction.
If you have any questions about which trims accompany which housings, or the type of bulbs you should use, just give us a call!
