TYPES OF RECESSED HOUSINGS

AIR -TITE 5”H7ICAT

For greater energy conservation, AIR-TITE fixtures com-
bine the benefits of IC fixtures with an ability to pre-
vent air leakage from heated or air conditioned areas of
a house into the unconditioned attic areas. Air is forced
through small openings by changes in air pressure,
temperature and humidity and this air exchange from
conditioned to unconditioned areas can create higher
heating and air conditioning costs. By sealing all open-
ings in and around the fixture, Halo AIR-TITE units stop
the flow of air through the housing and contribute to
the design of highly efficient homes.

INSULATED CEILING 6 H5ICAT

Insulated Ceiling (IC) type fixtures can be installed in
direct contact with ceiling insulation. This allows the
insulation layer to remain unbroken and prevent heat-
ing and air conditioning losses. These housings are also
equipped with thermal protectors to guard against
overlamping by cycling the lamp off and on until the
problem is corrected.

”T“ HOUSING 6” H7T

Standard thermally protected type "T" housings can be

used in insulated or uninsulated ceilings. When
installed in a ceiling with insulation, the insulation must
be kept 3" from all sides of the unit and there must be a
least 1" clearance from the top of the fixture to any ceil-
ing material. The integral thermal protector on most
Halo recessed fixtures provides positive protection
against misuse of ceiling insulation and overlamping by
cycling the lamp on and off until the problem is correct-
ed. Some Halo fixtures are thermally protected with an
insulation detector or with Class P ballasts. To meet
specific municipal standards, many fixtures carry an
"IP" rating.

COMMERCIAL GRADE 8”H46T

Many of the recessed housings in this catalog are suit-

ed for commercial applications especially the H42, H44,
H46 and H800 Series compact fluorescent housings.
PDS fixtures also lend themselves to commercial work.
These fixtures offer higher wattages and improved
lamp cut-off design. Trim choices include downlights,
adjustables and wall washers.

TYPES OF RECESSED HOUSINGS

4” H99ICT SMALL APERTURE

Small aperture housings are best suited for task and

accent lighting especially over counters and in display
areas. Small aperture housings are offered in standard
non-IC, IC, AIR-TITE and remodel styles.

6” H7RICT REMODEL

Remodel housings simplify installation when fixtures

need to be added to existing ceilings. They can be
installed from below in existing ceilings by cutting a
hole, bringing power to the fixture and installing the
housing. The spring clips lock the fixture in place and
they can accommodate ceiling material of 1/2" and 5/8"
thick. The integral thermal protector provides positive
protection against overlamping and allows an IP rating.

6” H27T SHALLOW HOUSING

Shallow housings are designed to solve installation

problems where 2" x 6" joist construction is used in the
ceiling. These housings are available in either standard
or remodel units and accept a wide variety of trims for
different lighting effects.

6” H745ICAT SLOPE CEILING

Slope or "cathedral" type ceilings require special hous-

ings to keep the lamp aimed straight down rather than
following the slope of the ceiling. A lamp aiming mecha-
nism in these fixtures allows the lamp to be aimed verti-
cally in ceiling slopes ranging from 2/12 to 12/12 (the
first number refers to the amount of "drop" per 12 inch-
es of horizontal measurement). A built-in slope indicator
provides quick and consistent lamp settings (factory set
for 3/12 slope).

TYPES OF TRIMS
Reflectors
Reflector trims create wide light patterns and maximize the
efficiency of the light source. They are especially well suited
for use with economical general service “A” lamps and energy
efficient compact fluorescent lamps. Gold finished reflectors
add warmth and black reflectors minimize glare.

Reflector Cones
Reflector cones are generally shorter and are designed for use
with reflector style (R, BR and PAR lamps). They direct the full
output of these lamps to the illumination task.

Baffles
Baffle trims trap and shape light to minimize glare and reduce
ceiling brightness. Baffles narrow the focus of the downlight-
ing beam and control reflector style lamps (R, BR and PAR
lamps).

Eyeballs/Adjustables
These trims provide precise, variable direction lighting. They
are especially useful for directing light to accent areas, wall
hangings, mantels and task areas.

Wall Washers
Wall Wash trims provide vertical surface illumination. Special
reflectors allow both wallwashing and downlighting.
Depending on the light source and fixture positioning, these
trims will provide uniform, scalloped or non-uniform lighting
patterns.

Lens and Diffusers

Lenses and diffusers are designed to soften and direct the
light of economical general service “A” lamps. Some trims
can be used as shower lights and others are specifically
designed for use as closet lights.

Open Trims
The simplest and most economical choice for recessed
downlighting, open trims create an attractive finished look
without compromising the natural efficiency of reflector style
lamps.

LISTING AND RATING CHOICES

Rising energy costs are a fact of life and lighting

fixtures play a twofold role in the energy equation
–besides the lamps and fixtures themselves, their effect
on heating and air conditioning costs must also
be considered.

IC and AIR-TITE Fixtures

If lighting fixtures are being installed in an insulated attic area, Fixtures for use in insulated ceilings are identi-
choose IC (Insulated Ceiling) or for additional benefits choose ICAT fied with IC in their catalog number such as
(Insulated Ceiling AIR-TITE) fixtures. These fixtures allow you to H7ICT, H7RICT
maintain an unbroken layer of insulation and AIR-TITE fixtures seal
all openings between attic spaces and heated or air conditioned
living spaces.

AIR-TITE Fixtures
Standard recessed housings allow 5.0 cubic ft per minute of air leak-
age to escape into unconditioned spaces. AIR-TITE fixtures prevent
this leakage by sealing all air pathways between living areas and
attic spaces. Sealed housing can be completely covered in
insulation.
Super-Trim–The Halo Super-Trim (catalog #30) makes an IC housing
AIR-TITE. Simply add the SUPER TRIM to an IC fixture and enjoy the
additional benefits of an AIR-TITE fixture.
Air Tite fixtures are identified with “AT” in their
catalog number. In addition, the AIR-TITE icon
identifies all AIR TITE Housings
Some Trims make an installation AIR-TITE
regardless of the housing used. These trims are
identified as “AIR-TITE Trim”.

Additional benefits include:

• Reduce sound transmission between rooms
• Save money by reducing heating and air conditioning bills
• Prevent moisture damage to ceilings
• Eliminates drafts for greater comfort
