What are Par 16 and Par 20 bulbs? What is the difference between GU10 and GZ10 bulbs?

...............would take too long to explain sb..............just Google ............but enter light bulbs..............or you're likely to get daffodils................ :o)

[sbredfan]

Tried that, could only come up with companies selling them. Even tried Ask.com

GZ10 is for spotlighting or decorative use, the GU is warmer sort of light and i think the par 16 is spotlight and the par 20 is floodlight, therefore giving wider beam, thats if I am remembering correctly, maybe somebody can explain better.

PAR stands for Parabolic Aluminized Reflector and these are used in recessed and track lighting. The numbers represent the diameter of the bulb (in 1/8ths of a inch), so the PAR 16 is 2" in diameter and the PAR 20 is 2.5" diameter.

This link might explain the difference between GU and GZ fittings.... but then again...lol
