HALO Recessed LED Downlighting Product Selection Guide

Introduction

For over 65 years, HALO has been the industry leader in high-quality recessed downlighting, offering a full range of LED luminaires for new construction, renovation, or retrofits.

This Product Selection Guide compares products from 4 installation categories:

  1. Canless Downlighting: Fixtures that mount directly to the ceiling with a remote junction box.
  2. LED Trims (Retrofits): Fixtures that mount into new or existing recessed housings.
  3. Surface Mount Downlighting: Fixtures that install into junction boxes.
  4. Integrated LED Downlighting: High-end architectural fixtures for new construction or renovation.

This Product Selection Guide is a straightforward yet powerful tool designed to assist with product comparisons and selection, enabling users to make informed choices based on features, performance, and value.
