Introduction
Halogen HIR™ Lamps provide a small, white light source with excellent color rendering.
Unlike standard incandescent lamps, halogen lamps use a halogen gas that allows the bulbs to burn longer without sacrificing light output. -
Benefits
Did you know:
Halogen HIR™ lamps consume up to 27 percent less energy than standard halogen lamps. This type of energy savings can significantly impact the environment by reducing CO2 emissions. For example, if a retail store switched 200 down lights from 75-watt Halogen Plus lamps to 55-watt Retail HIR™ lamps of the same lumen output, the store would reduce CO2 emissions by 24,000 pounds per year which is equivalent to planting three acres of trees.

Did you know:
Halogen HIR™ lamps consume up to 27 percent less energy than standard halogen lamps with the same light output. This can result in annual energy cost savings to a customer. For example, if a retail stored switched 200 down lights from 75-watt Halogen Plus lamps to 55-watt Retail HIR™ lamps of the same lumen output, the store would save over US$ 1,000 in annual energy costs, see a payback in less than one year and obtain a return on investment of more than 160 percent over the rated life of the lamps. Additionally, some Halogen HIR™ lamps last up to 60 percent longer than standard halogen lamps, reducing maintenance and labor costs.

Detailed Information
Making retail brighter
Retailers looking to save money will find that switching out standard halogen PAR 38 lamps with Retail HIR™ lamps from GE Consumer & Industrial can make a profound difference — financially and visually. GE's exclusive silver-coated reflector technology and thin-film HIR filament tube design combine to allow a 55-watt Retail HIR™ lamp to deliver up to 42 percent more lumens per watt than standard 75-watt halogen lamps while producing comparable light output (1,050 lumens).
Retail HIR™ lamps — available in 45-, 55- and 90-watt spots and floods — provide as much as a 27-percent reduction in energy costs and a 60-percent longer life (4,000 hours) when compared with standard halogen lamps. The longer life translates nicely as a way to lower maintenance costs. Over the life of the lamp, these advantages could amount to a 28-percent operating-cost savings (assuming US$ 2 in labor cost, 4,400 annual burn hours and US$ 0.10/kWh).
GE Retail HIR™ lamps serve virtually any lighting purpose — indoors and out. Applications include accent lighting, merchandising displays and general illumination in offices, lobbies and public buildings. The robust HIR-coated filament tube and lens virtually eliminate UV-B and UV-C radiation to help reduce fading and discoloration of displays.
