PAR16 LED bulbs providing focused accent lighting in an upscale commercial retail interior with track-mounted fixtures highlighting merchandise displays

PAR16 LED Bulbs

Filter

    PAR16 LED bulbs deliver crisp, directional light with energy savings of up to 90% over traditional halogen lamps. These compact parabolic aluminized reflector bulbs are engineered to provide a controlled beam of light, making them a reliable upgrade for any space that requires focused illumination. With a design that eliminates the slow warm-up times of older technology, these LEDs provide instant-on brightness and superior thermal management.

    Our collection of fully dimmable PAR16 LEDs is ideal for indoor track lights, small recessed fixtures, and enclosed outdoor applications. Unlike similar-sized MR16 bulbs, these PAR16s typically feature a standard E26 medium base and operate on 120V line voltage, eliminating the need for external transformers. Built for long-lasting performance and consistent color output, they ensure your displays and workspaces stay vibrantly lit for years to come.

    Technical Spotlight: PAR16 vs. MR16

    While they share a 2-inch diameter, the PAR16 is a "Parabolic" reflector, while the MR16 is a "Multifaceted" reflector. Understanding the difference is key to a successful retrofit.

    Line Voltage Simplicity

    Most PAR16 LED bulbs are designed for 120V systems with a standard E26 screw-in base. This makes them much easier to install than low-voltage MR16s, as you don't have to worry about transformer compatibility or specialized bi-pin sockets.

    Controlled Beam Spreads

    PAR16s are known for their precision. We offer Spot (15-25°) and Narrow Flood (35-40°) options, allowing you to choose exactly how much "punch" you want for your track lighting or retail accents.

    Durability in Demanding Environments

    Enclosed Fixture Rated

    Because of their rugged construction, many of our PAR16 LED replacements are rated for use in enclosed fixtures. This is vital for outdoor landscape "bullet" lights or tight recessed cans where heat buildup can cause standard bulbs to fail prematurely.

    High-Performance Dimming

    Achieve the perfect ambiance with smooth-dimming PAR16s. Our bulbs are tested for compatibility with modern LED dimmers, ensuring you can transition from bright task lighting to a soft glow without the buzzing or flickering common in lower-quality alternatives.
