PEACHTREE CITY, GA, November 24, 2010 – The HALO® H4 LED Collection from Cooper Lighting, a ® division of Cooper Industries plc (NYSE: CBE), will be featured on an episode of the Emmy -winning PBS home improvement show This Old House, scheduled to air Thursday, November 25, at 8:00 p.m. (check www.thisoldhouse.com/tvschedule or your local listings). The This Old House team is working to transform a 1940s Colonial Revival located in the Boston, Mass., suburb of Auburndale that is in need of both character and curb appeal. Over the course of 16 episodes, the team will make modern upgrades to brighten and open the interior space, all within the usual constraints of limited time and budget. As part of this particular episode, Cooper Lighting representative Paul Grossman discusses the benefits and installation of Cooper Lighting's HALO H4 LED downlights with This Old House host Kevin O’Connor. The 4-inch aperture, dimmable LED recessed light fixtures are comprised of a light source that will last 50 times longer than a typical incandescent light bulb, while saving hundreds of dollars over the life of the fixture. The HALO H4 LED Downlight Collection functions as a three-part system that allows the downlight housing, light engine module and trim to be installed according to the pace of the project. The collection offers four light engine module color temperature choices, which can match other light sources in a space: 2700K, 3000K, 3500K and 4000K. The downlights accept 16 different trim options including reflector, baffle and lensed trims. Housings are offered in five Insulated-Ceiling (IC) and Non-IC air-tight models to accommodate most any installation and include dimmable LED drivers and the latest installation-friendly features. -More- Cooper Lighting – Page 2 ENERGY STAR®-qualified, the HALO 4” LED downlights save energy, reduce green house gas emissions, and save money without sacrificing performance.
