Members donkey 12 Posted January 11, 2012 Members Share Posted January 11, 2012 I have an old Stagecraft lighting system and do not know where to get replacement colored bulbs for it. The bulbs that are in it are 75 watt and say "reflector" on them. They are considerable shorter than standard bulbs that would go in, say, a typical lamp, and are flat on top. They look like miniature flood lights. Where can I find such bulbs? Thanks in advance for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members agedhorse Posted January 12, 2012 Members Share Posted January 12, 2012 Probably are Par 38 style, maybe BR-38 depending on construction type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members donkey 12 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Members Share Posted January 12, 2012 They look like they are PAR20 bulbs. The bulbs in the link below match the dimensions of the ones I need to replace. The ones that are in the fixtures I have are 75 watts each, but I think they are incandescent rather than halogen. The ones I am finding the would fit all seem to be halogen. BillESC - I will have some pictures to you shortly. http://www.lightbulbsdirect.com/page/001/CTGY/HPAR20Clr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members W. M. Hellinger Posted January 12, 2012 Members Share Posted January 12, 2012 They look like they are PAR20 bulbs. if you have a functional measuring device that you can employ... one "par" = 1/8th inch... a PAR (parabolic aluminized reflector) 20 bulb would measure approx. 2 1/2" across at the face. oh, and it might help: Are your bulbs 6v, 12v, or 117v?

Members donkey 12 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Members Share Posted January 12, 2012 I do not have a flicker, photobucket, etc. account and when you PM someone on this forum you cannot attach documents, so I am unable to get pictures to you, BillESC. If you PM me another email address I will send you some photos. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members donkey 12 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Members Share Posted January 12, 2012 Thank your for definining PAR for me. That is about what they measure. I found PAR20 bulb dimensions on a few websites and they match my bulbs well, although some are slightly shorter than the ones I have, as in 1/4".

Members donkey 12 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Members Share Posted January 12, 2012 The bulbs in the 2 fixtures (each with 4 bulbs) read either 120V or 115-125V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members trevcda Posted January 19, 2012 Members Share Posted January 19, 2012 if you have a functional measuring device that you can employ... one "par" = 1/8th inch... a PAR (parabolic aluminized reflector) 20 bulb would measure approx. 2 1/2" across at the face. Thanks for the bit of information! I've always wondered what a "PAR" was. I got to use that info today when a client I met with today asked his electricians and lighting designers what it meant. I let them stammer around for a moment and swooped in with the correct answer. The funniest part was watching them try to discreetly pull out a tape measure and measure a couple of 56s and 64s as we were walking by! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BillESC Posted January 19, 2012 Members Share Posted January 19, 2012 Actually, all lamps are measured in 1/8th of an inch. Par 64 is 64 1/8ths of an inch - 8" Your 100w A19 household lamp is 19 1/8ths of an inch in diameter. Your fluorescent 4 foot tube is a F40T12 which will be 12 1/8ths of an inch in diameter or 1.5 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill, Thanks for that information. I knew the above about PAR lights but never realized it translated to all lights. Dang, I think I just increased my IQ by 8 1/8's... ;-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
