(4) All Glass Sealed Beam Lamp Bulb

An all-glass sealed beam lamp (frequently referred to as a PAR lamp, or Parabolic Aluminized Reflector) is a classic, self-contained lighting unit where the internal filament, the rear parabolic reflector, and the front glass lens are permanently fused together into a single, airtight envelope.

Because early automotive, aviation, and theatrical lighting systems relied on separate bulbs placed inside unsealed metal housings, dirt, moisture, and oxidation would quickly tarnish the internal reflector, drastically reducing light output and beam accuracy over time. The sealed beam solves this by hermetically sealing the filament and a mirrored coating inside an inert gas environment. This ensures the internal reflector never degrades from environmental exposure, and because the entire glass unit is replaced when the filament eventually burns out, you are guaranteed a brand-new, perfectly clean optical system with every replacement.
