Eurostar Series Advantages
The USHIO Eurostar reflector utilizes a multilayer titanium oxide coating which is much more durable than standard dichroic coatings. The thickness and application of these coatings ensure they do not crack or peel under the stress of high temperatures. Eurostar MR16s maintain color from lamp to lamp and throughout the life of the lamp.
Beam accuracy and uniformity is controlled by proper alignment of the lamp filament within the reflector. USHIO focuses the lamp filament inside the reflector, thereby optimizing the lamp's specified beam pattern, light intensity, and beam uniformity.
