A sealed-beam or reflector format widely used for landscape, vehicle, aircraft and specialty directional lighting.
PAR36 has a nominal diameter of 36 eighths of an inch, or 4½ inches. Many versions use two rear screw terminals rather than a conventional lamp base.
Landscape lighting, pools where specifically approved, utility vehicles, aircraft, stage effects, industrial equipment and specialty spot or flood applications.
PAR36 lamps exist in LED, halogen and incandescent sealed-beam forms across multiple low-voltage and specialty electrical ratings.
Technologies represented in this library: LED, Halogen, Incandescent.
Available base types: Screw Terminal.

These are representative market ranges, not guaranteed limits. Availability varies by manufacturer, voltage, base, beam, region and product generation.
Match voltage, terminal arrangement, overall depth, beam pattern, wattage, operating environment and any application-specific approvals.
PAR36 is used across very different industries. A landscape, pool, vehicle and aircraft lamp may share the same diameter but have incompatible electrical and safety ratings.
Important: The library describes a lamp format, not a particular product. A shared shape does not guarantee matching voltage, base, dimensions, light distribution or control-gear requirements. Confirm the fixture label and product datasheet, or ask a Bulb World lighting specialist.
