A sealed beam is a type of unitized lamp with a parabolic reflector, one or more filaments, and a glass or polycarbonate lens all permanently attached together and sealed. Originally introduced for road vehicle headlamp service, sealed beams have since been applied elsewhere. Halogen sealed beam lamps have an inbuilt halogen lamp with the filaments contained in a quartz or hard glass envelope.
Sealed beams are parabolic aluminized reflector or "PAR" lamps. Round PAR lamp diameter is expressed in eighths of an inch, so a PAR56 lamp, for example, is 56/8" (i.e., 7 inches) in diameter. Other popular sizes are PAR30, PAR36, PAR38, PAR46, and PAR64. Rectangular PAR lamp size is expressed in millimeters, so a PAR200×142 is 200 mm wide and 142 mm tall.
Sealed beams are available in a variety of nominal voltage ratings, most commonly 6, 12, 24, 28, 120, and 230 V. The actual operating voltage may differ from the nominal rated voltage; for example, "12 volt" sealed beam headlamps are meant for use in automobiles with typical line voltage of 13.5 to 14.2 with the engine running.
And you thought it wasn't possible! While it may not be pretty looking at it from the back-side, the beauty of retrofitting is making it work. Here we took a gigantic Murano Bi-xenon projector, trimmed it up, and shoe-horned it inside of a tiny & shallow 7x6 generic sealed beam headlight for a Jeep. Best of all, we used inexpensive Pilot headlights that were easy to pry apart: http://www.amazon.com/Pilot-Performance-Lighting-WI-HL5A-Conversion/dp/B0006309WA/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid;=1368051056&sr;=8-9&keywords;=pilot+headlights We recommend the Professional size JB Weld Epoxy for this job: http://www.theretrofitsource.com/accessories/jbweld-epoxy.html We also used our Apollo 2.0 shrouds and Morimoto LED Halos: http://www.theretrofitsource.com/accessories/jbweld-epoxy.html For full retrof...
