Halo

HALO lighting covers recessed ceiling lights and outdoor security lights for homeowners and light-commercial buyers. Its recessed range includes canless and can lighting, so you can choose around the ceiling you’ve got. Start with the work each light needs to do.

HALO belongs to Cooper Lighting Solutions’ family of lighting brands. Cooper Lighting Solutions is part of Signify. HALO also offers track systems and fixtures, plus low-profile under-cabinet lighting for counters where overhead light can leave your work in shadow.

Match the recessed light to the ceiling

HALO offers recessed housings with 3-, 4-, 5- and 6-inch apertures. For a replacement, identify the existing housing and measure the opening before choosing the light or trim. Match the trim’s attachment method to the housing, too. Shopping by the visible trim diameter skips the hardware behind it.

For a new layout, choose the light output and placement for the room, then settle on the aperture size. HALO offers multiple brightness levels for ceiling height or your desired light level. Choose around the surface you’re lighting, especially a counter or workbench.

Canless and can options give you different installation paths. Check access and obstructions above a finished ceiling before settling on the fixture. Use that fixture’s specified cutout dimensions before making the opening.

HALO has recessed lights with springs that lock upright during installation and removal, then automatically clamp to the ceiling. That keeps the springs out of your way while you’re positioning the light. Look for that spring arrangement when comparing installation features.

Choose the color and dimming behavior

Color-temperature selections across HALO’s recessed range run from 2700K to 6500K. Settle on the color with a light in the room, where you can see what it does to your cabinets and wall paint.

HALO also offers a setting that starts at 3000K and dims to 1800K with standard dimmers. The light gets warmer as it gets lower. For that effect, select a fixture that includes the setting.

Cover the outdoor job, too

You can cover recessed ceiling lighting and outdoor security lighting within HALO’s range. HALO Outdoor includes security and utility lighting for residential and light-commercial applications, with flood and motion options.

Plan outdoor coverage around the door, path or work area you need to see. Aim the light so glare stays out of your eyes as you approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does HALO make recessed can lights?

Yes. HALO offers both recessed can lights and canless lighting. If you’re replacing a light in an existing can, match the replacement to that housing; matching the opening size alone doesn’t establish compatibility.

What is a HALO light?

HALO is a lighting brand with downlights, track, under-cabinet and outdoor lighting. If you’re planning a room, start with where you need the light to land. A ceiling light behind you can leave your hands working in your own shadow.

How do you install a HALO recessed light?

Installing a HALO recessed light starts with knowing whether you’re using an existing housing or fitting a canless fixture. Turn off power at the breaker and verify it’s off before handling wiring. Follow the fixture’s instructions for mounting and electrical connections, and check the space above the ceiling before cutting. The visible opening is only part of the fit.

How do you change the color of a HALO light?

With HALO Smart Wi-Fi lighting, you use the WiZ app to control the light through your existing Wi-Fi network, with no hub required. For a recessed fixture with selectable color temperature, follow that fixture’s instructions for adjusting the setting. Changing color temperature makes white light look warmer or cooler; it isn’t the same as changing to a colored light.
