The fixtures below demonstrate the wide variety of LED lighting options available - from kitchen accents to energy-saving full-room illumination.

Kichler – LED Horizon
Kichler’s Horizon fixture is an LED-lit alternative to traditional recessed can fixtures. At only 0.5” wide, the light sits nearly flush to its mounted surface. It is designed to snap into either a 4” octagon or a 4” square (2-1/8” min depth) ceiling junction box, providing a faster installation and greater placement flexibility.
The light is made from die-cast aluminum with a powder coat white finish. It is Energy Star rated and wet-rated for indoor use, and uses 12.5W for 850 lumens of output. www.kichler.com

The Una Pro, designed for Artemide by Carlotta de Bevilacqua, covers a wide range of LED lighting arrangements, including surface lights, recessed lights, and flexible lighting. The recessed variety, also known as Una Pro 75, is designed to blend into its environment, allowing its direct lighting diffusion to speak for itself.
Una Pro is available as a single diffuser or in single, double, triple, and square arrangements, with a choice of black or white finishes. www.artemide.net

Each of the embossed design details creates an interplay of light and shadow, ideal for mood lighting settings.
The fixture is available in 2700K, 3000K, or 3500K color temperatures, or with dimming from 3000K to 1800K. www.element-lighting.com
