Never seen a lamp like this

[Les]

I work at Lowe's and we just did our inventory. As a result we got to clearance out all kinds of fixtures and I got a set of Portfolio track lights. (regular $88.00 marked down to $8.80!!!)

Anyway they take a type of lamp I have never seen in my life! It's a par 36 lamp (par 36+c lamp code GU 111 GU 10 120v 75w.) It's similar to a 4515 but with a more refined reflector (like a Source Four or SL reflector and a diffuser instead of a mirrored dish in front of the lamp capsule). It's manufactured by "Lucky Walter", whoever they are.

Where could I buy these replacements should I need them and how much are they?

I've included some pic's because they're pretty interesting.

Wow! Hard one!
I think the lamp is a Sylvania. Check out this pdf and look at the bottom of page 2 (SYL22221) (230 volt) but looks a LOT like what you have!

I went to the Sylvania site but it was a pain so I gave up!

Good luck! Neat looking little things!

Nope, not the Osram above.

Fascinating sort of a AR-111 type shape with frosted center with a MR-120v common to the market base with a support system for the lamp.

Never seen a lamp like this before - never even in my local store of that brand. Buy them up and put them away as curiosity and study for later. Gimbel rings are sort of common in supporting the lamp as in home owner type stuff the GU-10 lamp base for 120 applications.

I was also searching for this lamp. It appears that there is a regular short life lamp that will replace this lamp. Using the following description you should be able to find a replacement online. 75R111/FL/LN/GU Hope this helps.

Thanks man. Actually we just started selling them at Lowe's (however they will disappear if they don't prove to be good sellers). They are around $8 each.

On second thought I think they could be a version of the ones JD noted above in the 110mm size linked to assuming there is a 120/130v version available and it does not seem to be the case. JD has the Euro version of the Sylvania website posted. Believe they have three websites, Euro Sylvania that's harder to get to, Euro Osram and American Sylvania websites. There is some Sylvania lamps available for Europe for this 'Hi-Brite' series that are not available in the US including to a specific audience blinder on tour now. Lamp distriubuters worth their money can get such a lamp for a price. Possible you can get the lamps thru the fixture manufacturer also, though that would be a good reason why they are now selling at 10% of retail now if you can't get the lamps.

On the other hand if really 110mm in dia. instead of PAR 36, a difference of 4.3mm in dia, than a standard AR-111 reflector kit should fit the fixture. Couple of options there, don't remember if the if it's a AR-111 or PAR 36 ray light kit but there is that version. Than the actual AR-111 reflector kits normally with a center shield covering the lamp instead of a frosted lens. Normally such fixtures are 12v but there is other wattage versions and in fact versions believe from Norman Lamps that allow for replaceable lamps which would allow for a 120v lamp capsule lamp to replace the 12v one. Lots of optins available for GU-4 capsule lamps though I'm not awarea of any AR-111 fixtures on the market with a GU-10 base so you might have to do some re-wiring.

Could be an option assuming it's 110 thru 111mm dia. instead of 114.3mm or that the smaller lamp fits and it probably would.
