Low-voltage Lamp Adapter
The Cyclops adapter replaces standard PAR38 and R40 lamps with a low- voltage halogen lamp. The adapter's medium screw base fits most recessed downlights and track heads. The adapter contains a transformer that provides the proper 12-volt electrical supply.
The MR16 halogen lamp provides excellent light control for accent light applications. Lamps are available in 12, 20, 35 and 50 watts. Beam spreads include spot, medium flood, flood and medium wide flood (50-watt only). The lamps should work with standard solid-state dimmers, although the manufacturer recommends testing before use.
