Cooper Lighting Meets Growing Residential LED Lighting Demand
with ENERGY STAR®-Qualified HALO® LED Collection
HALO® LED recessed downlighting satisfies the energy-efficient lighting needs of
consumers and residential contractors.
PEACHTREE CITY, GA, November 30, 2010 – As local and national codes and legislation continue to
mandate the use of more efficient light sources, the HALO® LED Series from Cooper Lighting, a
division of Cooper Industries plc (NYSE: CBE), not only meets the demand for energy-efficient and
long-lasting lighting, but also provides superior light quality and cost savings to the homeowner. The
first to introduce an ENERGY STAR®-qualified LED recessed downlight, the HALO brand offers
cutting-edge solutions and expanded product availability to meet today’s residential LED lighting needs.
“As homeowners become more receptive to new lighting technologies, they not only want energyefficient solutions, but high quality ones as well,” said Cooper Lighting Vice President and General
Manager Mark Eubanks. “Cooper Lighting’s HALO LED offering meets these needs by using reliable
electronic technology to achieve the savings and quality of light that the homeowner desires.”
Aesthetically, recessed LED lighting is a popular choice for homes large and small, adding perceived
value through visual comfort and its natural ability to open up a room, bringing a larger feel to the
space. Providing excellent color rendering and a warm white color temperature, HALO LED downlights
offer superior optical design for maximum light output and can be dimmed to 15% or lower, depending
on the dimmer being used, lending added ambiance to an interior space.
Functionally, HALO LED lighting products reduce energy consumption and maintenance requirements
when compared to traditional incandescent bulbs. Designed for new construction or retrofit
applications, the HALO LED module easily installs into a dedicated HALO housing or into existing
HALO, All-Pro or compatible housings.

Virtually maintenance-free, the HALO LED fixture is constructed to provide more than 50,000 hours of
life, which means the fixture would continue to produce usable light for more than 20 years when used
six hours per day.
“Replacing just one incandescent lamp with a HALO LED recessed downlight saves hundreds of dollars
over the life of the fixture,” continued Eubanks. “The HALO LED H7 600 series, for example, consumes
78% less energy than a traditional 65-watt incandescent bulb, significantly lowering electric costs and
changing the way consumers view lighting.”
HALO offers the largest selection of LED product combinations including two aperture sizes (4" and 6"),
four color temperatures (2700K, 3000K, 3500K and 4000K), 12 different recessed housings and a
choice of 27 different trims to satisfy every home lighting need.
Earlier this year, HALO’s longstanding industry leadership, brand equity and user preference were
further reinforced when HALO was chosen as the Brand Leader by Builder magazine subscribers for
the eleventh consecutive year. The HALO brand swept all four lighting categories, including Brand
Familiarity, Brand Quality, Brand Used in Past Two Years, and Brand Used Most. Additionally, HALO
was named as the 2010 Brand Leader in Lighting by Remodeling magazine.
In addition to being ENERGY STAR-qualified, the HALO LED fixtures can be used for California's
Title 24-2008 and IECC-2009 High Efficacy compliance with designated LED modules and LED trims.
The LED downlights go through a serialized testing and measurement process that ensures color and
lumen consistency that exceed ENERGY STAR Solid State Lighting (SSL) Luminaire program
standards.
Cooper Lighting continues to offer the latest HALO LED technology in a collection of high-performing
energy-efficient 4˝ and 6˝ aperture recessed downlights. The HALO LED brand is available for
purchase through certified channel partners. To learn more, visit www.cooperlighting.com.
