PAR 56 300W 12V WFL 1000hrs

Professional Applications

This product is primarily intended for installation in underwater swimming pool luminaires, housed within standard PAR56 waterproof niches. Thanks to its 12V technology, it is the preferred choice for lighting monumental fountains and touring stage sets that must strictly comply with SELV (Safety Extra-Low Voltage) regulations.

Key Advantages

The OMNILUX bulb stands out for the durability of its G53 screw terminals, which ensure secure wiring resistant to vibrations. The 38° Wide Flood beam is calibrated to minimize the "hotspot" effect in water, diffusing light naturally and reducing shadows even in shallow basins.

FAQ for Installers and Lighting Designers

Can this 12V lamp be used in theaters or for live events?

Typically, theatrical PAR cans use mains voltage (230V). However, the 12V version is essential in three specific scenarios:

1. On-stage Safety: When the stage design involves water (tanks, artificial rain) or walkable metallic surfaces, low voltage is mandatory for safety regulations.

2. Trade Show Exhibits: For booths utilizing centralized 12V power systems for high-CRI accent lighting.

3. Cinematographic Effects: For small sets requiring pure halogen light (CRI 100) easily powered by batteries or dedicated transformers for precise flicker management.
   
   

What type of transformers are required for power supply?

Given the 300W power draw, you must use toroidal or electronic transformers specifically rated for halogen loads. Ensure they are sized to handle the inrush current and to prevent voltage drops along the cables, which are critical at 12V.

What precautions should I take for swimming pool installation?

The lamp must be installed exclusively inside suitable watertight fixtures. Ensure that the niche seals and gaskets are intact to prevent short circuits at the G53 terminals.

Is it interchangeable with LED PAR56 versions?

Yes, the physical dimensions (Ø 178 mm) are standard. However, compared to LED alternatives, this lamp offers superior color rendering (CRI 100) and a light beam penetration in water that is often more effective for professional applications.
