The RC6 recessed housing is designed to accommodate Cree six-inch downlights in new construction applications. It is rated for use with luminaires that have low-wattage ratings, such as the LR6 and CR6, optimizing energy density calculations for easier energy code compliance and LEED certification. The RC6 housing is IC rated, airtight, inherently protected and, when ordered with a GU24 socket, California Title-24 compliant.
