Look at the CREE CR4 (also known as the ECO4-575). It's currently exclusively available from the HomeDepot @ $49.95.

Thank you David. Also for all the helpful lighting info you've posted throughout the forum. What new construction housing would you recommend for the CR4s (we are in T24 country)? The price is right on the lamps.

You're welcomed.

The housing could be something like the HI99CAT. However, according to T24, the HI99CAT will not qualify as a high efficiency housing since it has the E26 base connector.

Nora Lighting has a 4" recessed housing with the GU24 base. To use that housing, you need to get the GU24 whip adapter.

Two things - both at Home Depot: First, if you are on a very tight budget and need a lot of them, the Edison screw base CR-6 has recently dropped to $25 (at least in our neck of the woods). This is one heck of a deal. The GU24 version is still at $40.

Second, the Ecosmart GU10 lamp is rated at 320 lumens. I have not tried one yet, so can't vouch for its performance. However you might want to check it out. (Has anyone else here tried it?)

Thanks to both of you. Lots of very helpful info and much to think about!

I have recently been looking at the eco4 and Nora housing combo. Just saw that Nora now offers a Cree based led solution,their diamond series. The Nora led runs triple the cost of the eco4. Anyone have an idea what you get with the Nora diamond led vs the eco4 other than a larger bill?
