Popular Lighting Fixture Applications:

Suspended Down Lights – direct most of the light downward. Use halogen or ENERGY STAR compact fluorescent lamps to replace incandescent A-lamps and globe compact fluorescent lamps to replace globe incandescent lamps.

Recessed Down Lights – direct light downward, but in a symmetrical distribution, also referred to as “cans” and “high hats.” Replace incandescent lights with more energy efficient lamps. It is better to use an ENERGY STAR reflector CFL than a spiral CFL since the design of the reflector evenly distributes the light down to the task area.

Shelf and Display Cabinet Lighting – accents collections of objects and art and is used to light shelves in storage areas. To save energy, consider ENERGY STAR linear fluorescent lamps and use a timer.

Architectural Valances – direct light both upward and downward and for maximum energy efficiency, use ENERGY STAR linear fluorescent lamps.

Under Cabinet Lighting – installed below an upper cabinet to direct light down toward a work surface. For best results, use the longest ENERGY STAR linear fluorescent lamp that will fill at least two thirds of the cabinet width.

Torchiere – free standing lamp with a shallow bowl-shaped light fixture mounted to a pole. Directs light upward.

Ceiling Fan with Light – ENERGY STAR qualified ceiling fans are 50% more efficient than standard models with improved motors and blade designs. Purchase an ENERGY STAR qualified light kit for fans that do not include lighting.
