Product Overview
The GE 16715 (Q37MR16/HIR/CG10) represents the pinnacle of halogen efficiency. By using HIR (Halogen Infrared) technology, this lamp reflects infrared heat back to the filament, requiring less energy to maintain its operating temperature. The result is a concentrated **10° spot beam** that produces 12,500 Center Beam Candle Power—providing the "punch" of a standard 50W lamp while consuming only 37W.
