Product Overview
The GE 79586 Q30MR16HIR/CCG35 is a compact low-voltage halogen reflector bulb designed to provide a controlled 35-degree flood beam. GE identifies the product as a Crystal Clear Indoor Floodlight ConstantColor HIR MR16 lamp, intended for applications where compact size, warm-white light, good color appearance, and precise optical control are required.
The lamp operates at 12 volts and therefore requires a compatible low-voltage transformer or power supply. Its 1,600 nominal center-beam candlepower describes the intensity at the center of the beam and should not be confused with total lumen output.
The covered-glass MR16 design has a nominal 2-inch diameter and GU5.3 two-pin base. Although many MR16 bulbs appear similar, voltage, wattage, base, beam spread, enclosure type, and transformer compatibility must all match the fixture.
Compatible Applications
- Indoor fixtures designed for 12V GU5.3 MR16 halogen bulbs
- Track and directional fixtures approved for covered-glass MR16 lamps
- Display and accent lighting requiring a 35-degree flood beam
- Retail, hospitality, and architectural lighting using compatible transformers
- Maintenance replacement where GE product code 79586 is specified
Before Ordering – Verify
- Complete lamp code: Confirm the required lamp is Q30MR16HIR/CCG35.
- Product code: Verify GE product code 79586.
- Voltage: This lamp operates at 12V and must not be connected directly to 120V or 277V line voltage.
- Wattage: Confirm the fixture and transformer are rated for a 30W halogen load.
- Base: Verify the socket uses a GU5.3 two-pin connection.
- Beam spread: This version has a 35-degree flood beam.
- Light intensity: GE specifies 1,600 nominal CBCP, not 10,000 CBCP.
- Dimensions: Confirm approximately 2.0-inch diameter and 1.77-inch maximum overall length.
- Enclosure: Verify the fixture accepts a covered-glass MR16 lamp.
- Transformer: Confirm electrical compatibility with the existing 12V transformer, including load range and dimming configuration where applicable.
- Packaging: The GE sheet identifies a standard package quantity of 20 bulbs and the sales unit as a case.
- Not interchangeable by appearance: Do not substitute line-voltage GU10, LED MR16, different-wattage, or different-beam lamps solely because the reflector shape appears similar.
Safety and Handling Guidelines
- Disconnect electrical power and allow the lamp to cool completely before handling.
- Use only in fixtures designed for 12V GU5.3 MR16 lamps.
- Do not connect the lamp directly to line voltage.
- Do not exceed the fixture or transformer wattage rating.
- Handle the lamp carefully and avoid touching hot glass during or immediately after operation.
- Do not install a lamp that is cracked, chipped, or otherwise damaged.
- Insert both pins evenly without bending or forcing them into the socket.
- Keep combustible materials away from the lamp and fixture.
- Follow the fixture and transformer manufacturers’ installation instructions.
