PAR 38 HalogenA
Reflector lamps consisting of a
mains-voltage hard glass burner
(linear filament) optically
positioned in a Parabolic,
Aluminium-coated, pressed-glass
Reflector (PAR).
The sparkling and decorative
image of the PAR 38 HalogenA is
emphasised by its new and
modern designed WISO
®
reflector found in each member
of the PAR HalogenA family.This
gives more light in the specified
beam and a well-defined beam
pattern. Philips' mains-voltage
HalogenA philosophy focuses on
offering halogen solutions which
fit in normal and existing
luminaires.
Unlike the HalogenA, which is a
general-purpose lamp,
the PAR HalogenA bundles the
light and is suitable for accent
applications.
The combination of the latest
optical know-how and the
halogen technology results in a
very intensive beam with a clearly
defined beam spread.The fact
that the front glass is lightly
stippled for the spot versions will
strongly emphasise the effect of
the sparkling reflector.The front
glass protects the lamp for safety
and from outside elements such
as errant fingers and dust which
could reduce the light output and
affect the sparkling image.
For wider beams, a lenticuled
front glass is used thus ensuring a
very good light distribution. In a
PAR 38 flood application, the
lenticuled front glass prevents
glare.
The PAR 38 HalogenA has two
beam spreads - 10° and 30° -
and is a replacement for PAR 38
incandescent reflector lamps of
the same or higher wattage.
It also incorporates the features
applicable to halogen lamps in
general, such as: a luminous flux
which remains nearly constant
throughout the lamp life;
3 times the lifetime of a normal
incandescent reflector lamp;
natural colour rendering
(Ra=100); and good luminous
efficacy (more light less energy).
Not only the compactness of
halogen light sources, the
combination possibilities with
modern luminaires and their
decorativeness, but especially the
bright and sparkling light make
halogen a well-loved light source.
These general lighting characteris-
tics of halogen support the use of
the PAR 38 HalogenA for accent
and display lighting.
The excellent colour rendering
gives a realistic impression of the
objects and during the whole
lifetime of the lamp the displayed
objects are accentuated according
to the initial requirements.
Applications
Indoor
- Accent lighting in shops,
especially for valuable goods
- Accent and task lighting in the
home
Outdoor
The PAR 38 HalogenA can also
be used outdoors, but should be
protected from direct water
contact.The luminaire, however,
must certainly include a
waterproof connection between
the reflector and the luminaire.
The reflector and burner are
temperature shock resistant.
