SYLVANIA TRU-AIM IR MR16 lamps were the first lowvoltage infrared coated reflector lamps in the industry. The high luminous efficacy of the TRU-AIM IR lamp is achieved via thermal recovery. The ellipsoidal tungsten halogen capsule and its special infrared reflective coating
ensure that the radiated heat which otherwise would be wasted is reflected back to the lamp filament. Because the heat is recycled within the lamp capsule, less energy is required to bring the filament up to its optimal operating temperature.
