The Sylvania brand is the only manufacturer of these lamps. 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 an 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 flood 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. 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. 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.
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.
