A compact directional reflector format used for accent, track and display lighting.
PAR means parabolic aluminized reflector. PAR20 has a nominal diameter of 20 eighths of an inch, or 2½ inches.
Track heads, small recessed cans, artwork, retail displays, restaurants and compact exterior fixtures when properly rated.
PAR20 lamps are available in LED, halogen and incandescent forms and in narrow spot through flood distributions.
Technologies represented in this library: LED, Incandescent, Halogen.
Available base types: E26, E27.

These are representative market ranges, not guaranteed limits. Availability varies by manufacturer, voltage, base, beam, region and product generation.
Choose the exact base and voltage, then compare beam angle, centre-beam intensity, lumens, colour and environmental rating.
Lumens alone do not describe a directional lamp. Two PAR20 lamps with equal lumens can light an object very differently because of beam angle.
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.
