1000-watt PAR 64
Explanation:
It should be 'PAR 64' (upper-case PAR) in English and stays the same in Spanish as it's the alphanumerical reference to a specific type of lighting unit. More generally, 'PAR' is a 'Parabolic Aluminized Reflector' light. 64 refers to the diameter measured in 1/8th of an inch (hence a PAR 64 is 8-in diameter.)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_aluminized_reflector_...
These types of instruments come in varying diameters, the most common being designated PAR56 and PAR64. The number indicates the diameter of the housing in eighths of an inch (so a PAR64 is eight inches (~20 cm) in diameter).
