Pass & Seymour PAR1-BR – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Pass & Seymour PAR1 lampholder thread onto a standard 1/2 inch outdoor box hub?
Yes. The PAR1 has a 1/2 inch threaded outlet, so it screws onto standard 1/2 inch threaded outlets on weatherproof boxes and outdoor fixtures. No adapter is needed if your box hub or lampholder opening is 1/2 inch; for a 3/4 inch hub you would need a reducing bushing.
2) Is the PAR1 lampholder rated for wet outdoor locations?
It is built for outdoor use: diecast metal body, corrosion-resistant finish, and a seal gasket included to keep water out of the joint between the lampholder and the box. It is UL Listed. Use a gasketed PAR lamp and keep the gasket seated on assembly, since that gasket is what makes the connection weather-tight.
3) Can I use the PAR1 as a direct replacement for an existing outdoor PAR flood holder?
If the holder you are pulling off threads onto a 1/2 inch outlet and takes a medium base lamp, the PAR1 drops into the same spot, since those are the two dimensions that decide the swap. Measure the hub thread first on older installations, as some use 3/4 inch, and confirm the existing lamp base is the standard screw base rather than a pin or mogul base.
4) Can I aim the PAR1 lampholder once it is mounted?
The head swivels through 180 degrees, so you can aim the lamp after the body is threaded on and tightened. That covers aiming down a wall, out across a walkway, or up at a soffit from the same mounting point, which is why these get used in pairs on a single box for parking and security lighting.
5) What colors does the PAR1 lampholder come in, and what are the part numbers?
Three finishes: gray is PAR1, bronze is PAR1-BR, and white is PAR1-W. The body and the aiming hardware are the same across all three, so pick the finish that matches the other fixtures on the building. Property managers standardizing a multi-building site usually spec one color and order it across all openings.
6) Do I get the gasket with the PAR1, or do I have to order it separately?
The seal gasket ships with the lampholder. What is not included is the weatherproof box or hub it threads into, the lamp itself, and any cover or crossbar for the box, so order those alongside if you are building the assembly from scratch.
7) Is a diecast lampholder worth it over a plastic outdoor lampholder?
The reason to go diecast is heat and abuse. A metal body with a corrosion-resistant finish holds up where a thermoplastic holder gets chalky and brittle from UV and lamp heat, which matters on perimeter and parking-area lighting that burns dusk to dawn. Plastic is fine for a sheltered residential soffit; for industrial exteriors and anywhere the fixture gets hit or washed down, the diecast body is the one that lasts.
8) Where is the Pass & Seymour PAR1 lampholder made?
Country of origin is India. Distributors and institutional buyers who have to document origin on a submittal can state India for all three finishes, PAR1, PAR1-BR, and PAR1-W.
