ABSTRACT:
A retrofit recessed compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) system that delivers quality aesthetics, glare control, and high efficiency light output. The system comprises a reflector unit adapted to be installed into an existing light fixture to provide an improved environment for distribution of light from a CFL. The system is compatible with a range of existing light fixture heights and styles.
