Customers appreciate the ease
of installation, consistent
quality and excellent value that
are the hallmarks of our
recessed line. As with all our
products, the recessed fixtures
meet stringent performance
standards and testing prior to
shipping.
Two standard opening sizes
make selection and installation
easy (4.25-inch O.D. or 6.25-
inch O.D.). This allows
installation of fixtures before
trim ring selection has been
made. Our recessed products
also give you the flexibility to
easily switch trims as lighting
requirements change.
The variety of light sources
make Ruud Lighting recessed
products the perfect choice for
any application. Incandescent,
fluorescent, low-voltage and
HID light sources are offered.
Dimming
Ruud Lighting offers both
Power Line or 0-10 Low
Voltage dimmable ballasts on
recessed fixtures using either a
fluorescent 26-, 32- or 42-watt
triple-tube lamp.
Labor-Saver
™
Architectural
Recessed
This great new addition to our
recessed line offers an 7- or
8-inch aperture and an
innovative mounting system
for suspended ceilings. The RR
Series includes a choice of
compact fluorescent or HID
lamp types providing uniform
light distribution with low
brightness, good lamp-image
cutoff and excellent efficiency.
R7L Low Voltage Fixtures (Page 263)
Built-in thermal protectors
In compliance with the latest
UL standards and the National
Electrical Code, all Ruud
®
housings (except fluorescents)
have a thermal protector that
will turn off the fixture under
conditions that cause
overheating. After the fixture
cools down, the thermal
protector resets itself and will
deactivate the unit again if the
temperature level is exceeded.
Avoid overheating
problems
Do not overlamp. All recessed
manufacturers’ trims carry a UL
label indicating the type and
maximum wattage lamp that
can be used in a trim. Please
follow these recommendations
carefully.
Air tight recessed cans
Recessed downlights can
create open airways between
temperature-controlled rooms
and their uncontrolled attic or
plenum spaces. Our Insulated
Ceiling Air Tight Recessed
Downlights (ICAT Series)
minimize air infiltration and
leakage. This is especially
important in states where codes
require airtight recessed
fixtures. Our ICAT Series is
offered in three popular
models, 4-inch Incandescent
(R4ICAT), 6-inch Incandescent
(R7ICAT) and 6-inch
Fluorescent with 18-watt lamp
(R7FICAT18).
For other projects where direct
contact with insulated ceiling
materials may occur, use the
4-inch Low Voltage
Incandescent (R4LICAT),
6-inch Economy Incandescent
(R7EIC) or 6-inch Incandescent
for remodel projects (R7RIC). If
you choose to use another
housing, be sure the insulation
is at least 3 inches away from
housing and junction box.
Lamp bonus
As a service to our customers,
all Ruud fluorescent and HID
housings are shipped with
the appropriate lamp. This
saves you from having to order
your lamps and allows
simultaneous delivery of both
the housing and lamp. Most
important, this makes Ruud
Recessed Lighting even more
economical.
Lamp listings
Please follow the lamp listings
under each trim very carefully.
There are two common types
of incandescent trims: A lamp
trims and BR or PAR lamp
trims. You should use only
the lamp specified. The wattage
listed is the maximum
allowable for each specific trim.
You may use a lower-wattage
lamp, but not one with a higher
wattage.
Versatile trims
Whatever your application,
general lighting, task lighting,
accent lighting or wall washing,
we have top-quality trims to do
the job. And what we catalog,
we can deliver. Fast!
