SYLVANIA 16738 | 60W 120V PAR38 Halogen Capsylite® Narrow Flood Lamp

The Sylvania 16738 (60PAR38HAL/S/NFL25) is a commercial-grade, high-efficacy **60W line-voltage halogen reflector lamp** from the premier **Capsylite® SPL** series. Engineered to produce a crisp, high-intensity accent beam, this premium **PAR38 hard-glass lamp** features a standard **E26 Medium Screw base** and an advanced **CC-8 axial filament design** built to withstand regular voltage fluctuations. Delivering a controlled **25° Narrow Flood (NFL) beam spread**, it projects a bright **1,070 lumens** of inviting **2900K Warm White** light with an elite **100 CRI** color accuracy threshold. Operating natively on **120V setups** without external step-down hardware, this durable reflector offers an optimized **1,500-hour rated lifespan** for architectural track, recessed, and security frameworks.

Precision Split-Optic Beam Control and Museum-Grade Fidelity

Sylvania Capsylite® halogen lamps utilize a patented spiral-burn capsule alignment inside a computer-designed parabolic glass reflector block. This architectural-grade split-optic construction ensures that a maximum percentage of initial lumens are funneled cleanly forward into the intended **25-degree field**, drastically minimizing stray peripheral spill light and glare. Featuring an absolute color rendering index of **100 CRI**, this lamp reveals natural textures, fine architectural materials, and retail merchandise with vibrant color depth and distortion-free precision, far surpassing standard economy alternative lamps.

• Targeted 25° Narrow Flood Distribution: Ideal for long-throw accenting and intermediate-height spot applications where standard wide flood configurations are too broad.
• Vivid Warm White Splendor: Emits a comfortable, welcoming 2950K to 2900K spectrum that naturally enriches natural skin tones, fine fabrics, and natural wood grains.
• Rugged Weatherproof Construction: Built with a durable, thick-molded hard glass shell that stands up nicely to thermal shock and moisture, making it fully approved for indoor track systems or damp exterior environments.
• Seamless Line-Voltage Integration: Installs instantly into universal household or commercial medium screw sockets without necessitating noisy drivers or ballast transformers.

Electrical Integration & Architectural Dimming Guidelines

• Universal Dimming Compatibility: Fully dimmable from 100% down to 0% using standard leading-edge incandescent/halogen line-voltage wall dimmers. Dimming helps extend overall filament operational lifespan.
• Fixture Constraints: Check internal physical clearances prior to installation. The deep PAR38 profile requires proper fitment inside recessed canisters to prevent surface lens protrusion.
• Damp Location Use: Fully approved for outdoor security or structural wash fixtures when positioned in downward-facing damp locations, or when fully shielded from direct, pounding seasonal downpours.

Recommended Commercial & Residential Applications

• Architectural Recessed Cans: Perfect for residential living spaces, high-end hospitality corridors, and corporate offices requiring localized, glare-free light pooling.
• Commercial Track Lighting: Highly suited for directional display arrays inside high-end auto showrooms, clothing boutiques, and modern furniture retail houses.
• Art Galleries & Showcases: Delivers true-color, 100 CRI pinpoint illumination over large canvas paintings, sculptural reliefs, and museum exhibits.
• Outdoor Property Security: Ideal for exterior architectural flood columns, landscape accent features, and perimeter motion-sensor security housings.
