GE 77905 35W MR16 HIR Flood – ConstantColor Precise Halogen

⚠️ STATUS: This product is DISCONTINUED. Limited stock may be available.

Premium 35W energy-efficient halogen flood using HIR technology to deliver the light output of a standard 50W MR16. Part of the ConstantColor® Precise™ series for superior color stability.

Product Overview

The GE 77905 (Q35MR16HIR/CCG24) utilizes advanced Halogen Infrared (HIR) technology. This involves a specialized coating on the halogen capsule that reflects heat back to the filament, allowing the lamp to produce 50W equivalent light while only consuming 35W. This results in a 30% reduction in energy consumption without sacrificing the crisp, high-intensity light required for professional displays.

Recommended Alternatives

As the GE 77905 is no longer in production, the following options are recommended for new installations or replacements:

• GE 77901: 20W HIR 24° Flood (Replaces 35W, lower intensity).
• Standard 50W Halogen MR16: Provides equivalent light output but at higher energy consumption (50W).
• LED MR16 Retrofits: Significantly lower wattage (approx. 6W-8W) with similar beam patterns, though dimming compatibility with older transformers should be verified.
