This short article describes the benefits of energy-efficient insulated recessed can downlights for use in residential and commercial buildings. The article describes DOE's program to bring more models of recessed cans that use pin-based compact fluorescent lamps to the market. The recessed can program is managed by PNNL for DOE. PNNL has conducted laboratory testing of several can lights and has found that three manufacturers are building lamps that meet DOE's strict critieria for performance and energy efficiency. The companies are PowerLux Corporation of Carlsbad, California; Technical Consumer Products (TCP), Inc. of Aurora, Ohio; and D-Light, a division of DiSci Labs LLC, is based in Corpus Christi, Texas.
