Zhongrun Lighting PAR Light Series Overview

Editor:Haining Zhongrun Lighting & Electronics Co.,Ltd │ Release Time:2025-06-20 

The PAR (Parabolic Aluminized Reflector) lamp series offers versatile, high-performance lighting solutions suitable for a wide range of professional and decorative applications. Combining tried-and-true filament technology with modern halogen designs, these lamps deliver precise beam control, color fidelity, and long-life operation. Whether you need a tight spotlight for stage work or a broad wash for architectural illumination, the PAR series has you covered.

1. Technical Characteristics

  • Vacuum‑Sealed Filament Type: Traditional vacuum‑sealed tungsten filaments provide warm color temperature (~2,700 K), smooth dimming curves, and excellent color rendering (CRI > 95). These lamps handle frequent on/off cycling without significant filament degradation, making them reliable for repetitive spotlighting tasks.

  • Halogen Tungsten Lamp Type: The halogen variants incorporate a halogen gas cycle that redeposits evaporated tungsten back onto the filament, extending lamp life (up to 2,000 hours) and allowing for higher operating temperatures. This yields a brighter output, whiter light (~3,200 K), and superior beam definition compared to conventional filaments.

2. Rich Light Types

The PAR series offers three primary beam angles to suit diverse lighting needs:

  • Spotlight (Narrow Beam, ~10°–15°): Ideal for creating intense shafts of light with crisp edges—perfect for highlighting performers, artwork, or architectural details.

  • Medium Light (Medium Flood, ~25°–40°): Balances beam spread and intensity, providing even illumination without excessive spill—commonly used for general stage washes and product displays.

  • Floodlight (Wide Beam, ~45°–60°+): Delivers broad, uniform coverage for large areas such as walls, audience seating, or landscape features.

3. Key Features

  • Vacuum‑Sealed Durability: The filament models are sealed under vacuum to minimize oxidation, ensuring stable output over time and resistance to thermal shock.

  • Halogen Performance: Halogen versions maintain output and color consistency throughout their lifespan. They tolerate higher ambient temperatures and offer stepless dimming down to very low levels without color shift.

  • Interchangeable Lenses and Holders: Quick‑change lens holders allow technicians to swap between spot, medium, and flood optics in seconds, reducing changeover time in dynamic environments.

  • Compact, Robust Housing: Rugged aluminum or die‑cast shells dissipate heat efficiently and withstand the rigors of touring and outdoor installations.

  • Standardized Base Options: Available in common bases (e.g., E27/GX16d) to fit a variety of fixtures, from conventional PAR cans to modern low‑profile housings.

4. Application Scenarios

  • Stage & Theatre: From front‑of‑house specials to cyc washes, the PAR series creates dramatic effects with controlled hotspots and smooth fades.

  • Film & Television: Consistent color temperature and beam quality ensure accurate camera rendering, whether for close‑up key lights or background accents.

  • Outdoor & Courtyard: Weather‑resistant fixtures fitted with wide‑flood PAR lamps can illuminate plazas, fountains, and pathways with vibrant, even light.

  • Hospitality (Hotels & Restaurants): Spotlights and medium‑flood lamps highlight architectural features, artwork, and dining areas, enhancing ambiance and guest experience.

  • Retail & Supermarkets: Focused beams draw attention to featured products, while flood configurations provide general illumination for aisles and displays.

  • Water Features & Fountains: Specialized sealed housings paired with flood PAR lamps accentuate moving water with broad, shimmering washes.

5. Choosing the Right PAR Lamp

Output & Color Temperature

  • For warm, theatrical looks: vacuum‑sealed tungsten (2,700 K).

  • For crisp, neutral white: halogen tungsten (3,200 K).

Beam Angle

  • Spotlight for tight accents.

  • Medium flood for balanced coverage.

  • Wide flood for general washes.

Fixture Compatibility

  • Ensure the base type matches your fixture’s socket.

  • Confirm the fixture’s thermal rating for halogen lamps.

Environmental Considerations

  • Use sealed housings for outdoor or moisture‑prone areas.

  • Check IP ratings if installing near fountains or landscaping.

The PAR lamp series stands out for its blend of classic filament warmth and modern halogen efficiency, offering lighting professionals flexible beam control, reliable performance, and excellent color rendering.
