Product Overview
The GE 46165 60PAR/HIR/S/SP10 is part of GE's HIR Silv-IR PAR38 family, using halogen infrared reflective coating technology to improve luminous efficacy versus standard halogen PAR38 lamps at the same wattage. The heavy-duty filament design extends service life in demanding commercial fixtures subject to vibration or frequent switching, such as retail display track lighting and accent fixtures.
The 10° spot beam concentrates the lamp's 1,050 lumens into a high-intensity 17,000 candela beam, ideal for highlighting specific merchandise, artwork, or architectural details from a distance. The medium skirted base is the standard PAR38 base configuration, fitting standard PAR38 fixture sockets without need for an adapter.
Compatible Applications
- Retail display and track lighting — 10° spot beam for highlighting merchandise and display features.
- Accent and architectural lighting — Concentrated high-CBCP beam for feature walls, art, and architectural details.
- Heavy-duty commercial fixtures — Reinforced filament design for fixtures subject to vibration or frequent switching.
Before Ordering — Verify
- Voltage: Confirm fixture is rated for 120V.
- Wattage: Confirm fixture is rated for 60W.
- Beam Spread: Confirm 10° spot is appropriate for your application — this is a tight beam. A 30° flood version (46166) is available if broader coverage is needed.
- Base Type: Confirm fixture accepts a standard medium skirted PAR38 base.
- Physical Fit: Confirm 5.31" MOL and 4.75" diameter fit within your fixture's lamp housing.
Safety and Handling Guidelines
- Do not touch the quartz capsule with bare hands. Skin oils cause hot spots leading to premature failure. Use clean gloves or a lint-free cloth.
- Extreme Heat Warning: PAR38 halogen lamps operate at high surface temperatures. Use only in fixtures rated for this wattage and lamp type.
- Allow Cooling: Allow the lamp to cool fully before handling or replacement.
- Outdoor Use: If used outdoors, confirm the fixture is rated for outdoor/wet location use.
Compliance
- Verify RoHS compliance status and additional certifications with the GE manufacturer specification sheet prior to use in regulated installations.
