Smart Southern Homes is proud to offer an innovative new product in downlighitng from LLF. The LR6 downlight was just recently awarded a spot in BuildingGreen’s top ten building products for 2007 by the editors of Environmental Building News and Greenspec. LED lighting is significant as it is expected to provide decades of use under normal operation, and it uses a fraction of the power required for traditional lighting solutions.

The 6” LED downlight fixture replaces your regular can lighting. It is designed to last 50,000 hours and when replacing a normal incandescent light source, you can expect to prevent approximately 30 to 60 lightbulbs from being thrown in the trash and no more mercury ending up in landfills. The LR6 uses only 12 watts of energy comsumption compared to the 65 watts a conventional incandescent light bulb uses. That is 85% less energy consumption!

The LR6 is the only green recessed downlight that doesn’t compromise aesthetics or function, delivering warmth and luxourious color of incandescent lights. Finally, the LR6 is made of 100% recycled aluminum and unlike CFL’s (compact fluorescent lamps) the LR6 contains no toxic mercury.
