Lighting with Halogen Par Bulbs
Halogen Par bulbs have a reflector optical lighting system with a thicker pressed glass construction in either clear or frosted lenses. They are similar to reflector bulbs but have a more controlled lens. This bulbs come in interior or exterior models, with a wide variety of sizes, wattages and beam spreads.
Par bulbs are well suited for higher level illumination for accent and tasks. Giving a brighter beam in tracks systems and in standard 5" or 6" 120 volt recessed downlighting. When using for high ceilings they are able to throw their beam farther for a constricted general illumination. They are the most popular directional bulbs. When using in recess or track fixtures check to see wattage and heat levels the trims are rated to handle. Making sure these bulb's heat level do not ruin your trims.
These sophisticated technology of these halogen lenses and their reflector system makes these Par bulbs a better choice and more efficient illumination than standard reflector bulbs. Heat produced by this bulb is reflected out away from the socket saving the life of your fixtures. It burns hotter and brighter, improving energy efficiency.
Halogen bulbs have a whiter, crisper 3000 degree color. They are more efficient than standard incandescent bulbs, producing 50% more light per wattages consumed.
