What Are PAR38, PAR56, and PAR64 LED Retrofits?

PAR (Parabolic Aluminized Reflector) lamps have been widely used in stage, theater, commercial, and architectural lighting for decades. Many venues still rely on traditional 180W–1000W halogen or incandescent PAR lamps, which consume large amounts of electricity, generate high ambient heat, and require frequent bulb replacements. An LED retrofit replaces the older bulb inside the existing fixture housing with a high-output LED lamp, enabling facilities to upgrade performance without replacing expensive trim, track, or fixture housings.

Facilities looking to upgrade can explore retrofit options including PAR38 LED retrofit lamps for E26 track and recessed downlights, as well as PAR56 LED retrofit lamps or PAR64 LED retrofit lamps for larger stage and auditorium cans.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a PAR LED retrofit lamp?

A PAR LED retrofit lamp replaces the older halogen, incandescent, or HID bulb inside an existing PAR fixture or socket. This allows the original fixture housing to remain in place while drastically upgrading energy efficiency, operating lifespan, dimming performance, and color rendering.

Should I choose PAR38, PAR56, or PAR64?

Choose PAR38 for E26 track lighting, recessed cans, and display fixtures under 16 feet. Choose PAR56 for mid-sized stage cans, sanctuaries, and medium throw distances. Choose PAR64 for large theatrical cans, high-ceiling auditoriums, and maximum throw coverage.

Are these PAR LED lamps dimmable?

Yes. Our lamps support TRIAC and 0-10VDC dimming systems depending on the model, delivering smooth 0–100% dimming with no flickering, pulsing, or stepping.

Why does CRI 90+ matter for stage and display lighting?

Color Rendering Index (CRI) measures how accurately a light source reveals true colors. A CRI of 90+ ensures rich, natural colors and superior skin tones under the light, which is crucial for stage performances, broadcast cameras, artwork, and retail merchandise.

Can I get help choosing the right beam angle or wattage?

Yes. Tell us your fixture type, ceiling/mounting height, throw distance, and illumination goals, and our lighting specialists will recommend the exact PAR38, PAR56, or PAR64 retrofit configuration for your space.
