SYLVANIA 14579 | 90PAR38/HAL/FL30 120V Capsylite® SPL® 90W Tungsten Halogen Flood Lamp

The Sylvania 14579 (90PAR38/HAL/FL30 120V) is a professional-grade, line-voltage **90W tungsten halogen reflector lamp** from Sylvania’s high-performance Capsylite® SPL® (Soft Pool Lens) series. Operating directly at **120V**, this heavy-duty **PAR38 bulb** features an **E26 Medium Skirted brass base** and a thermal shock-resistant hard glass envelope. Engineered with patented spiral-fluted optics, it projects **1270 initial lumens** of crisp **2900K Warm White** light in a precise **30° flood beam spread**. Delivering flawless color accuracy (**CRI 100**) and an extended **2,500-hour rated lifespan**, this ballast-free lamp is the industry-standard choice for demanding commercial track, recessed downlighting, and premium architectural spot installations.

Patented SPL® Spiral Lens Distribution and Pure Spectrum Rendering

Sylvania Capsylite® PAR38 lamps stand out in commercial environments due to their advanced **Soft Pool Lens (SPL)** optical system. By combining a patented spiral-fluted reflector with a precision-molded front lens matrix, this bulb eliminates the harsh hot spots, distinct rings, and distracting striations common to standard par lamps. The result is an exceptionally uniform, smooth beam edge that blends seamlessly into multi-fixture layouts. Featuring a flawless **CRI 100**, this tungsten halogen source reveals the true, vibrant depth of colors, making it invaluable for high-end retail merchandising, gallery walls, and high-visibility architectural surfaces.

• Seamless Analog Linear Dimming: Fully compatible with standard incandescent and halogen dimming circuits, fading down from full intensity down to a warm, subtle glow without color shifts, digital flickering, or stepping.
• CC-8 Coiled-Coil Filament: Heavy-duty vertical wire distribution delivers superior mechanical stability, resistance to building vibrations, and optimized center-beam candlepower (CBCP).
• Integrated UV Filter Matrix: Doped glass capsule structure cuts harsh shortwave ultraviolet wavelengths, protecting fine showroom garments, delicate canvas paintings, and fabrics from premature fading or degradation.
• Universal Operation and E26sk Security: Fires reliably in any mounting profile or tracking angle. The skirted screw base adds structural support, shielding the live electrical socket shell within deep recessed housings.

Critical Handling, Safety, & Enclosure Protocols

• Thermal Operational Warning: Halogen PAR38 reflector lamps reach high temperatures quickly during active cycles. Ensure the fixture housing has adequate convective ventilation and airflow. Allow the luminaire to cool down completely for at least 15 minutes before executing an optimization swap or maintenance check.
• Glass Integrity and Pressure: Built with a heavy, UV-filtering hard glass outer body designed to resist thermal shock. However, because the inner quartz capsule operates under pressure, use only in structures that shield the lamp from direct water contact or moisture pooling. Verify your target housing possesses adequate physical depth to accommodate the 5.32-inch MOL layout.
