Commercial applications
You can opt for efficient halogen PAR 38, PAR 30 or MR 16 lamps to replace ordinary halogens of a higher wattage. They are not only good for entrance halls and corridors, there is nothing like them for indoor showcases and shelving. They are also well suited for accent lighting in some types of buildings, such as these:
- Retail outlets
- Restaurants
- Grocery stores
