Sylvania Capsylite halogen light bulbs are an innovation from this fine manufacturer of light bulbs. They put a halogen capsule light in a bulb or reflector to give a great amount of light output while delivering good efficiency. The Sylvania Capsylite lamps are unique in their construction and has some of the highest quality standards of any competitor. Capsylite bulbs are Sylvania's brand name for it's halogen line of light bulbs. Although other manufacturers make a halogen product, we do believe that the Sylvania product is superior for its heat dissipation and beam clarity. Halogen bulbs are incandescent bulbs, just like the typical incandescent bulbs we have been using in lamps for years and years. Halogen bulbs, however, are filled with a special gas that actually rebuilds the filament and provides longer average lifespans than normal incandescent bulbs. They come in different shapes and sizes for various different uses. The Sylvania halogen light bulbs have many shapes but the most common are flood shaped with the heavy, thick glass that is common to many medium to large sized halogen bulbs. PAR stands for parabolic aluminized reflector.

The Sylvania halogen lamps are easy to identify. You can tell what kind of PAR lamp you have by measuring the distance across the widest point of the bulb. The number after 'PAR' represents the number of eighths of an inch the bulb diameter is. Therefore, Capsylite PAR16 lamps are 2 inches across. Of course, there are a wide range of sizes including PAR20, PAR36, PAR38 and so on. So no matter what type of lighting you have, there's probably a halogen lamp that will give you better light and performance. They have standard bases and are able to be used indoors or outdoors. This means they can be directly exposed to rain or snow and still function normally and they do not need to be covered by a light fixture. This makes the Capsylite lamps very versatile and quite handy to use.
