General Electric 100w 12v PAR-38 Mine Lamp This is a bit of an oddball . It's 100w / 12v ! I'd assume it's used as a headlamp ? I lit this using the battery in the SubaFord , when lit , it's identical to a line voltage version . Keywords: Lamps

General Electric 100w 12v PAR-38 Mine Lamp

This is a bit of an oddball . It's 100w / 12v ! I'd assume it's used as a headlamp ? I lit this using the battery in the SubaFord , when lit , it's identical to a line voltage version .

Headlamp? You mean as a vehicle headlight (or work light)? Nope, there are better (specialized) lamps for that. Those low-voltage PAR lamps are usually used in applications that requires extra safety, such as the illumination of pool/pond/fountain, and of places with risk of explosion (mines, chemical plant, etc).

It says on the box, it's a mine floodlamp. We have one, must find a photo of it.

I actually have NO idea Very Happy I'm assuming it's a mine vehicle headlamp but it could be a mine work lamp . Thanks Joseph !

All i do know is it's MINE !!

Definitely for floodlighting applications, i.e., to illuminate the workspace and its surrounding - not a headlamp.

It's definitely a mine floodlamp, although ours has side pins rather than a screw base, similar to the HPS ones that Eric found a few years ago.

Update 27/9/25 - I have now found the photos I took of our mine lamp 4 years ago, see here PAR lamp
