Sylvania PAR Reflector Lamps have a hermetically sealed-in aluminum reflecting surface with the filament scientifically positioned - in spot or floodlighting patterns. Result, to direct light accurately no light is wasted because all light is channelled - exactly where you want it,

More Light for Your Money

Sylvania PAR lamps use no more electricity than ordinary incandescent lamps of the same wattage. But they give you more light for your money by increasing the useful light in the areas where you need it.

Lower Maintenance Costs

Rated life of most Sylvania PAR lamps is 2000 hours-more than double that of ordinary incandescent bulbs of the same wattage. This means much longer service-with your high labor costs for lamp replacement cut in half. What's more, the PAR lamp's sealed-in reflector can't be dimmedr by dust, dirt or grime. So light output stays high for the life of tht lamp and it never needs cleaning. Another maintenance-savingfeature that cuts your labor costs especially where larnps are mounted high or hard to reach.

Rugged PAR Construction To withstand thermal shock and provide greater strength, all Sylvania PAR lamps are made of heat resistant "hard" glass. A few types, such as the medium skirted PAR 38
types, have screw bases. Most higher wattage types have side prongs or end prongs for electrical contact. These bases allow for precise control of elliptical light distribution pattern of the PAR 46, PAR 56 and PAR 64 types. Screw terminal bases are also used in low voltage high current types.

COMBINATION

Versatile PAR Fixtures Mounting equipment for PAR lamps are

available

from many manufacturers. Most are designed with provision for directional control. Various types of PAR 38 holders have self-contained mountings . . . can be clamped on stands or poles. . set on the ground or spiked into it. . . or connected to conduit or to junction boxes. Other types can be mounted on,
or recessed in walls and ceilings.

Spotlights and floodlights can be effectively used in combination where both general lighting and accent lighting are desired. When this is done, spotlights should be focused on the more distant sections and floodlights on the nearer sections of the area to be lighted.
UNIOUE ORIENTATION FEATURE
On the face of all large Sylvania

Outdoor fixtures for higher wattage PAR lamps usually have glass covers to prevent contact with moisture. Correct fixture design allows adequate cooling so safe operating temperatures for lamp parts, sockets and wiring, will not be exceeded. A variety of types is illustrated.

PAR lamps in 200 to 500 watt sizes, you'll find a small oval "directional guide". This indicates the wide axis of the beam on both spots and floods helps in placing the lamp and aiming its light accurately prior to "light-up".

The PAR 38 is designed primarily for outdoor use but can also be used indoors. Special feature is its extra rugged filament hook support to protect the filament against vibration and shock and provide longer service life. Of hard glass construction, exposed PAR 38's can be used outdoors but porcelain sockets must be used.
