Recently, Toshiba International Corporation has launched new PAR38 and MR16 lamps to its LED lighting line.
The new PAR38 1100 Series is a direct replacement for 90 to 110W halogen lamps, offers outputs of up to 1170 lumens, and uses up to 75% less energy than halogens. It’s is available in 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, and 4000K. And the new MR16 450 Series is a direct replacement for 35W halogen lamps, offers lumen outputs of up to 475 lumens, and uses up to 80% less energy than halogens. It comes in 2700K, 3000K, and 4000K color temperatures.
Both models are dimmable, available with beam angles of 25° or 35° and contain no mercury or lead. Based on an average use of three hours a day, Toshiba’s MR16 is rated to last 22.8 years, and the PAR38 is rated to last 36.5 years.
The lamps in both series can provide bright light in entryways, stairways, lobbies, and reception areas. Because of higher lumen outputs, these can be set higher in a room without sacrificing light quality, or they can be placed farther away from the wall for track lighting.
