Sylvania PAR14 halogen light bulbs are a standard for very small fixtures using
halogen floods. They put a halogen capsule light in a small reflector to
give a great amount of light output while delivering good beam control. The
Sylvania is the only manufacturer of these lamps and is for certain ypes of
applications. PAR14 bulbs will often have a small reflector connected to
the socket. The
small size makes it possible to use these in fixtures that have some size
constraints and it also looks more appealing for applications where the fixture
does not cover the bulb. Many people will use these in cabinet recessed
lighting for different types of display. If you currently use anything
like a R14 or and R20 standard incandescent, you'll find that this lamp delivers
more light with a sharpness you only can get from halogen lighting.
Halogen bulbs are incandescent bulbs, just like the typical R14 flood 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 PAR14 halogen light bulbs 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. These types
of bulbs will provide you with a high light output, a more white-colored light
(a higher color temperature - approximately 3000K), and longer life than normal
R or BR reflectors. That is why the halogen are many times used in energy saving
lighting situations because they are more efficient in their light production.
The PAR14 is a good direct replacement for the incandescent R14 lamps that have
been used in cabinets or small recessed cans over the past decades.
Replacing these will give you more light while reducing energy costs.
The Sylvania PAR14 halogen is a
very small flood bulb and are not as large as many halogen flood bulbs available. 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, PAR14 lamps are 1 3/4 inches across. 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 PAR14 lamps very versatile and quite handy to use. Please
note that these are some of the shortest halogen flood lights available and it
you need something a little longer, then perhaps the PAR20 might be a better
choice for your lighting needs.
Sylvania generally calls their halogen line Capsylite and within that category are many
different configurations of light bulbs. The variety ranges from standard
halogen light
bulbs to bipin halogen to the full spectrum variety called Daylight Plus. There are also track
lighting bulbs, indoor floods and indoor/outdoor PAR floods. Whatever the
lighting need, there probably is a Sylvania lamp that will work correctly in
that situation. ServiceLighting.com is an online light bulb company that
