PAR56 Sealed Beam for Railroad Use
This GE Lighting kit supplies a 350-watt incandescent sealed beam with a PAR56 envelope and screw terminals. It delivers 6200 lumens at 3000 kelvin with a narrow 15-degree beam angle. The clear-finish lamp operates on 75-volt AC power and carries a rated life of 500 hours. It is designed for railroad signal and lighting applications.
Replaces Worn PAR56 Lamps in Service
The unit directly replaces an existing PAR56 sealed beam that has reached its 500-hour rating or lost output. Upgrading is worthwhile when the current lamp dims, fails to maintain signal visibility, or shows filament degradation. The screw-terminal base matches legacy fixtures without rewiring. Buyers who need a wider flood pattern or longer service interval should look elsewhere.
Simple Terminal Connection in Fixtures
Installation consists of seating the lamp in the PAR56 housing and tightening the screw terminals by hand or with a screwdriver. The sealed beam requires no separate reflector alignment. The most common issue is loose terminal screws causing flicker or premature failure; verify each connection is firm before restoring power. The lamp is not shatter-resistant, so handle the glass envelope carefully.

Questions about this item
What screw-terminal spacing does the PAR56 sealed beam require for mounting?
The PAR56 sealed beam uses screw terminals on the base; ensure the socket or bracket matches the standard PAR56 terminal layout before wiring.
How do I install the 350 W PAR56 sealed beam without damaging the screw terminals?
Align the terminals with the socket, press straight in without twisting, then tighten each terminal screw evenly to avoid cracking the glass envelope.
When should I replace the 350 W PAR56 lamp rated at 500 hours?
Plan replacement after roughly 500 hours of operation or when output drops noticeably; the 350 W incandescent sealed beam is not serviceable.
