This 16W dimmable LED, low-profile PAR40 replacement for spotlighting applications has a 45-degree beam angle and is available in 2700K, 4000K, and 5000K. It meets LM-80 industry standards, and is meant to be an alternate to 75W incandescents. The module body, which measures 5 inches in diameter, is composed of solid aluminum and serves as the heat sink. The lamp depth changes depending on the socket type, GU24 pin base or an E26 base, to 2.8 inches and 3.8 inches, respectively. Unlike other PAR lamp replacements that position the driver below the light source, Maxlite uses Component Isolation Technology so that the driver is positioned mid light-engine allowing it to sustain cooler temperatures while remaining separate from the LED light source.
