Product Overview
A PAR36 sealed beam lamp has its filament, reflector, and lens factory-sealed as one unit, so the beam pattern is fixed by the lamp. Beam spread, intensity, voltage, and base style therefore determine which lamp number is correct for a given fixture, and like-for-like replacement is the safest approach.
