Juno used to be the general use budget line. Lightolier was commercial/architectural specifier upper end stuff but do have resonable prices for most recessed when bought by the bunches, excpt for maybe the trim is more pricey. Idunno, im old, outdated, juno was bottom bucket, lightolier was top end but pricey compaired. You get what you pay for.

Ask what the price differences might be of your contractor.

Mikie,
I think we'll go with the lightolier since I've since read that it's very good, and prices are now more comparable.
Thanks.

Just depends on whom you talk with. Juno quality is just as good as Lightolier, and in many cases, the trims are better looking.

The bad thing about Lightolier is that they are so slow and very often out of stock on even very common items. If you go with Lightolier, be sure to allow a minimum of eight weeks leadtime.

Juno, on the other hand, is very fast and readily available. I've used Juno in my last two houses and have been very pleased with it. I'd never go back to Lightolier -- which IMO has nothing to recommend it over Juno. Ordering Juno is so much easier and reliable.

We compared both and chose Juno because Lightolier creates too much heat. Both our architect and the lighting store said that Lightolier is used in large open installations and Juno is much better for smaller residential spaces.
