Product Description

The WESTINGHOUSE 3698000 is a 60-watt PAR16 halogen reflector lamp rated for 130 volts and designed for recessed, track, and outdoor security lighting applications. It produces 660 lumens at a color temperature of 2950 K, delivering a warm white light output suitable for accent and directional lighting. The lamp uses a CC8 filament and an E26 medium screw base, with a 30-degree flood beam spread. Overall length is 3.13 inches and light center length is 1.93 inches. Rated for 2000 hours of lamp life, this unit is fully dimmable and sold individually. Licensed electricians and lighting contractors handle typical installation.

This lamp is suited for residential and commercial installations where a compact PAR16 halogen source is required. Common applications include recessed downlights, track lighting fixtures, and outdoor security or accent fixtures. The PAR16 form factor fits standard E26 medium-base sockets. The 30-degree flood distribution makes it appropriate for general flood lighting tasks where moderate beam spread is needed without excessive spill.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). Power off the circuit at the breaker and allow the existing lamp to cool completely before handling, as halogen lamps operate at high surface temperatures. Avoid touching the halogen capsule with bare skin; oils from hands can reduce lamp life and create a thermal stress point. Verify the fixture is rated for 60 watts and is compatible with E26 medium-base PAR16 lamps before installation.
