Product Overview

The Philips CDM-R Elite 35W/930 combines the efficiency of ceramic metal halide technology with the familiar PAR30L reflector shape. This lamp produces a "sparkling" white light that is ideal for creating drama and focus in retail displays and galleries. Its E26 Medium Screw base allows for easy installation in standard track and downlight fixtures. Unlike standard HID lamps, the Elite range is designed for exceptional color consistency throughout its life, preventing the "rainbow" effect often seen in aging lighting systems. Built with hard glass construction, it is robust enough for both indoor accenting and outdoor protected luminaires.
