Progress Lighting

We've seen a lot of attention paid on the consumer side to compact fluorescent light bulbs but not a whole lot on the options available to builders who want to put them in their homes. Progress Lighting's Energy Star-qualified P83-26ICATDM is, according to the company, the industry's first dimmable CFL fixture. It uses a standard 26-watt CFL triple-tube lamp and works with a standard incandescent dimmer. For FREE information, visit http://pb.ims.ca/5340-136

Pass & Seymour

Lighting can be easier to incorporate into a smart home with Harmony Dimmers from Pass & Seymour, which are part of the company's Decorator line. The dimmers come in incandescent and magnetic low-voltage versions, and a constant memory setting restores the previous light levels after a power outage. A green LED glows when the dimmer is off.

LED Lighting Fixtures (LFF)/Cree

Out to "change the way the lighting industry thinks about LEDs" is LED Lighting Fixtures' 6-inch downlights. Using Cree's XLamp XR-E LED, the lights produce 650 lumens at 10–12 watts. At 60 lumens per watt for the entire fixture, the LLF lights, according to Cree, are the industry's most efficient general lighting fixtures for the home.

Watt Stopper/Legrand

Sometimes some family members forget to turn off the lights when they leave the room. The RS vacancy sensors from Watt Stopper/Legrand solve that problem. The RS replaces standard light switches and has an LED built in so Dad won't step on junior's Legos at night.
