The Faux Can simulates the appearance of an installed recessed downlight while actually being flush-mounted to the ceiling. The Faux Can has the appearance of a conventional can trim kit, concealing a flat CFL light source behind a frosted diffuser, ballast within the trim, and a GU-24 base on the back. The complete unit extends only one inch down from the ceiling. Dimmable and non-dimmable versions of the Faux Can have been developed, as well as various finishes, including bone white, brushed nickel, and brushed bronze.

Availability
Anticipated stocking by October 2007.
