Aidanleejones Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Hi All, Need to replace some of the ceramics in my Par 56 units. I've had a search on CPC to try and find some new ones but no luck. Does anybody know an order code or know if they have a different name on cpc? Would be a great help, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanhill Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 A search term to consider is "PAR wiring set". I would strongly urge you to consider something like this: http://www.stage-electrics.co.uk/product.aspx?code=533-5691 A 'PARsafe" fully encloses the back and sides of the ceramic to prevent the user getting a belt when twizzling the lamp. Note: Stage Electrics are not the only suppliers of the generic "PARsafe". Your local, reputable lighting supplier should be able to supply. PAR64 and PAR56 ceramics are interchangeable as they are both GX16D lamp bases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljoshua Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Note however that not all types of PAR Can, especially a lot of the lower cost Par56 units will fit a Par Safe. Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidanleejones Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 Hi thanks for reply. Yeah use par safes on all my other cans, just these are the short nose 56's so no need for them. I would have thought CPC sold the lamp bases but apparently not. Oh well SLX it is. Thanks! ]A search term to consider is "PAR wiring set".

jonathanhill Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 http://www.10outof10...html#a1_2110586 Josh Shame that they are both out of stock... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljoshua Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Hmmm, I didn't notice that... Doesn't hurt to phone though, the guys at 10 out of 10 are pretty good at getting things in when you need them. I've had them within a week when they've been listed as "Out of Stock" on the site.

jonathanhill Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I would still recommend the use of a "PARsafe" type of lamp connector. A belt from a can when up a ladder is never fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.elsbury Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Point noted, but how often is a short nose PAR56 anywhere where you need a ladder to access it? The OP is using them as floorcans by the looks, and quite often there just isn't the clearance to fit a parsafe as it will be too long..?

Don Allen Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 When a parsafe cannot fit, I use a 3.5mm fibreglass sleeving from Altronics, the 3mm fibreglass sleeving from CPC may be a tight fit, to double insulate the internal wiring. It slides over the wires and fits inside the ceramic base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
