About the Sylvania Tru-Aim Tru-Aim IR Series

The IR coating reflects infrared heat energy back through the lamp, directing up to 66% less heat forward into the beam. This makes Tru-Aim IR ideal for heat-sensitive merchandise, food displays, artwork, and retail accent lighting — delivering the same lumen output as a standard 50W lamp while using significantly less energy.

Beam Guide — Choosing the Right Spread

• Narrow Spot (NSP 10°–12°): Tight accent beam — ideal for spotlighting specific objects, jewelry, and featured merchandise at long throw distances.
• Narrow Flood (NFL 25°): Versatile mid-range beam — excellent for wall washing, display cases, and general retail accent lighting.
• Flood (FL 35°–40°): Broad accent beam — suitable for general retail fill lighting and recessed downlight applications.
• Wide Flood / Very Wide Flood (WFL/VWFL 60°): Maximum spread — best for ambient illumination, wide display areas, and architectural lighting.

Compatible Applications

• Retail accent & display lighting
• Museum & gallery spotlighting
• Jewelry & merchandise highlighting
• Heat-sensitive merchandise & food displays
• Artwork & museum lighting

Important Safety & Installation Notes

• 12V Transformer Required: This is a low-voltage lamp operating at 12V. It must be used with a compatible 12V electronic or magnetic transformer. Do not connect directly to 120V/230V mains.
• No Bare Hands: Never touch the bulb envelope or reflector interior with bare skin. Oils cause hot spots and premature failure. Use clean gloves or a lint-free cloth.
• Enclosed Fixtures: Use only in approved fixtures rated for MR16 halogen lamps. Do not use in open, unenclosed luminaires unless specifically rated for open use.
• Extreme Heat Warning: MR16 lamps operate at very high temperatures. Allow to cool completely before handling or relamping.
• UV Output: Covered (C) versions include a front glass that filters UV. Open-face (B/Brillant) versions emit more UV — avoid prolonged direct exposure to skin and UV-sensitive materials.
