ABSTRACT
The PAR luminaire family (PAR-56, -46, -38, -36, -30, -20, and -16) also has housings for smaller lamps and reduced wattages in both black baked enamel and silver ( Figure 18.1 ). These luminaires may not have any effect if they are housed in a truss 24 feet in the air, but they are useful for lighting objects up close, hiding in stage sets and small coves, or even exposed as a practical part of a set piece. Very common is the six-lamp PAR bar, which has six PAR lamps attached to a pipe with hangers and is prewired to a Socapex connector ( Figure 18.2 ).
