Product Overview
GE’s PAR38 halogen lamp family uses a Precise Optical System (multi-faceted reflector and lens lenticule design) to eliminate hot spots, sharpen beam cut-off, and focus more light on target than earlier PAR38 designs. The HIR line (3000-hour energy-saving HIR) is built on this optical platform in the familiar PAR38 shape and E26 medium screw base, making it a direct replacement for standard PAR38 halogen and incandescent lamps.
