Introducing the PAR LED lamp
What are PAR LED lamps?
PAR stands for Parabolic Aluminized Reflector. PAR LED lamps are specially designed LED lamps with a reflective housing that concentrates the light into a compact beam. They are ideal for applications where directional or focused light is required.
Different PAR lamp models
There are many different PAR models on the market. What are the differences?
What does the number on the back of the PAR mean?
The number on LED PAR lamps refers to the diameter of the lamp (not the size of the cap) measured in eighths of an inch. The PAR number can be easily converted to inches by multiplying the PAR number x 1/8 (0.125).
Thus, a PAR20 lamp, has a diameter of 20 x 1/8, or 2.5 inches, or 63.5 mm.
The dimensions of the most common PAR lamps are given below:
PAR bulb number |
Diameter of the bulb |
16 |
2 inches (50mm) |
20 |
2.5 inches (63.5mm) |
30 |
3.75 inches (95mm) |
36 |
4.5 inches (112.5mm) |
Key features and specifications
Luminosity and rainfall angles
PAR LED lamps are renowned for their high luminous efficacy and are available in a range of beam angles from narrow spotlights to wider spotlights.
At the moment we only stock the most popular PAR20 models with 45 degree light beam.
Energy efficiency
LED PAR lamps are more energy efficient than traditional halogen PAR lamps, with significantly lower power consumption per unit of light. Up to 50% lower power consumption.
Durability and lifetime
With a typical lifetime of around 25,000-50,000 hours, our PAR LED lamps last significantly longer than halogen lamps
Applications and use cases
Residential buildings
In homes, PAR LED lamps are often used for task and accent lighting and for outdoor lighting due to their directional properties.
Commercial use
In the commercial sector, they are commonly used in display cases in retail outlets and in theatres and events as spotlights.
Special applications
PAR LED lamps are also used in photography and videography for controlled lighting effects. These require a very high CRI. Ledstore's PAR lamps have a CRI of +92, meaning that the shadows are reproduced naturally.
Compatibility with existing home systems
PAR LED lamps are increasingly being integrated into basic home systems for remote control and automation. We can make ZIGBEE PAR lamps if you need, but the minimum is 500 units.
Installation and maintenance
Installation tips
Make sure the luminaire is compatible with the size and wattage of the PAR-LED lamp. Before changing bulbs, switch off the power and securely attach the bulb to the socket.
Maintenance and troubleshooting
PAR LED lamps require only light maintenance. If the lamp does not work, check that it is securely mounted or that the lamp is powered.
Environmental points
Energy security
The energy efficiency of a PAR LED lamp can lead to significant energy losses and a reduction in the energy bill.
Reducing carbon footprint
By harvesting less energy, PAR LED lamps help reduce the carbon footprint and contribute to environmental protection.
