PAR56 LED Retrofit Solutions
PAR56 LED Retrofit Lamps
PAR56 LED retrofit lamps replace traditional halogen PAR56 lamps in existing PAR can fixtures. These drop-in LED lamps help reduce energy use, lower heat output, extend lamp life, and enhance lighting performance without requiring a full fixture replacement.
PAR56 retrofit lamps are commonly used in churches, platforms, stages, retail displays, restaurants, commercial spaces, and other applications where existing PAR56 cans remain in place, but the lighting needs modernization.
Traditional PAR56 lamps produce excessive heat, waste unnecessary power, and require frequent relamping, particularly in high-mounted fixtures that are accessible only by ladders or lifts. Lotus PAR56 LED retrofit lamps replace older PAR56 lamps without requiring fixture replacement.
One lamp, selectable output: Each PAR56 Lotus lamp includes selectable 40W and 60W output, plus 3000K, 4000K, and 5000K white color-temperature settings. Choose the beam angle and connector when ordering.
