Lutron. Available in wired or wireless versions, the HomeWorks lighting control system can control lights individually or as part of a scene. The “green” button on the SeeTouch keypad (pictured) can be programmed to reduce light output in a zone by a specific percentage, saving energy with only minimal changes in perceived light level. The system also can set the maximum output of lights to 85%, saving energy without sacrificing perceived light levels. 888.588.7661. www.lutron.com >

EnLux. The EnLux LED downlight, which can be installed in most 5- and 6-inch recessed housings, uses just 14 watts of energy but provides 700 lumens, the company says. The light is cool to the touch and 100% recyclable. It comes in warm, neutral, and cool white color temperatures and is available with colored light engines. 480.733.8065. www.enluxled.com
