Br40 Halogen Flood Light Bulbs

Buy in lots of 24: Havells Flood / Spot Light Bulbs I installed this bulb and it doesn't seem as bright as the one I was replacing. This is a commercial/ industrial bulb designed to withstand power surges. While it will operate on a household 120 volt electrical connection, it actually requires a 130 volt electrical connection to produce the full rated lumens. The light lumen output will go down about 24%, when used in a 120 volt circuit but the life of the bulb will last 280% longer than it would in a commercial/industrial setting, with a 130 volt circuit. Ask your own question! These 120 watt indoor flood light bulbs offer plenty of light for outdoor areas. These incandescent, long life indoor flood lights are commercial grade. They feature multi-filaments and medium brass bases that do not oxidize or freeze in the socket for easier removal. This design better withstands a voltage surge. The light bulb measures 6 1/2'' long, has a diameter of 5' A PDF viewer is required to view this product's information.

The energy efficient bulbs don't put off enough light, so I needed something a little extra strength. Homes For Sale Lubbock-Cooper School DistrictWhen it comes to precision and cutting there can be no mistakes and this bulb gets the job done.Ikea Sofa Bed Ektorp Review The bulbs are well packaged in individual boxes. Bob Odenkirk T ShirtThe only issue I found was the bulbs have a more "yellow" tint compared to other similar bulbs. These are quality bulbs that arrived well packed and in perfect condition exactly as described on the site. They are have very consistent quality and uniform appearance. The problem, and reason for knocking off two stars, is that the rated lumens even after reducing for 120V service seem significantly overstated.
The bulbs purport to put out 1380 lumens at 130V and the Q&A states that a 24% reduction can be expected when operated on normal 120V service. That would bring lumens down to an expect 1048.8. I replaced some 1+ year old 65W (120V) bulbs rated at 600 lumens and was expecting 1.5+ times the brightness. This was in a 10-person conference room with 6 can lights. I replaced 3 bulbs and could not tell any difference in brightness between old and new in the same room. Being generous, there might be a 10% increase, putting these bulbs somewhere in the 650 lumens range at 120V. I took a photo of the old 65W bulb next to these "120W" bulbs for comparison. The biggest visible difference is that the old bulbs were smaller (maybe BR32s instead of BR40s), so they don't stick out as much from the can, making the new bulbs more prominent. This also has the effect of casting the light wider from each bulb, but not increasing the overall brightness of the room. This is the only plus side to the dimness -- less glare.
I'm not criticizing the size of the bulb at all -- it's exactly as described and what I was expecting. Another visible difference (as explained on the Q&A above) is that 130V bulbs will burn quite a bit more "yellow" or warm than a 120V equivalent. This is very noticeable in person, but hard to capture in a picture where the phone works hard to automatically adjust for white balance and "tune out" the yellow as much as it can without distorting other colors. Think of any traditional bulb on a dimmer dropped down about 1/3 from full. While no one buys incandescent bulbs for energy efficiency, it should also be noted that lumens / watt gets worse as voltage drops. That is, the light gets dimmer faster than the energy used drops. This advice is more applicable to dimming of lights versus buying smaller wattage -- dimmed incandescents use more energy to produce the same light than a non-dimmed lower wattage bulb. Bottom line is these are not recommended for any kind of commercial or business setting where neutral light or more than 650+/- lumens each is needed.
It's really a shame that the only comparable replacement are currently expensive LEDs (18-20W BR40 or can light retrofits) -- those prices can't come down fast enough. I super surprised to see this 120 watt indoor flood lamp light bulb offered here on webresturant. I ran out and had an outdoor above the kitchen sink and it was too hot and uncomfortable. Thanks for a great price as well. I use these bulbs on a regular basis to provide adequate exterior lighting in the parking lot of our hair salon. They last an extremely long time and the delivery time is always prompt. If you've used this product, simply log in and share your text, video, and photo reviews of it.

, you can choose for yourself what the best light bulb for your application is by splitting out the choices that need to be made.Obviously, the easiest way to replace light bulbs in your recessed can lights is to pull out the old one and simply purchase that same bulb.� If you don�t have that as an option, follow the below steps to choose the correct light bulb.I�m going first outline the main letters that you�ll see on your current bulb or in your can fixture and what they mean.� 40W (or any number followed by a W) = 40 Watt; R16 or BR16 or PAR20 (There are many of these.� Most start with a letter or a few letters and are followed by a number) = these are bulb shapes; 120V or 130V (This may or may not be stipulated) = Indicates voltage.� Your first step should be to look inside your can fixture.� Most will have a sticker on it that will outline about a half a dozen of options that can be used in that specific fixture.� I.E.� 40W R16Best Style for your Baffle, Lense or Reflector:Next, go to the website of the manufacturer that made your can fixture.� The 3 major manufacturers are Cooper Halo Lighting ()
, Juno Lighting () and Lithonia ().� Around the edge of your can you will have what is known as a baffle, lense or reflector (trim).� This is a separate piece you will find in your can.� Each manufacturer will have their recommended light bulbs to use that will maximize the effectiveness of your particular baffle, lense or reflector.� Find this under their �specifications� sheet attached to your particular attachment.Decide if you want a Spot or Flood:Some light bulbs like Halogen PAR shaped light bulbs will come two ways:� Spot lights or Flood lights.� The progression goes from Spot to Flood to A19 which lights up in all directions.� Most spots light an area up to 20 degrees in width.� Most choose these if they want to light up art work or focus on a mantel or something similar.� A flood generally goes from 25 degrees to 60 degrees in swath of light.� Then an A19 lights up tan entire area.� But not all fixtures are made to have A19 light bulbs in them permanently.� In most cases, you�ll want flood light bulbs.
What Color of Light do you want?If you are looking at Compact Fluorescents, you will sometimes have an option of color.� And I don�t mean pink vs. white.� I mean the color of the light that is emitted.� If your compact fluorescent says that the color temperature is 2700K, the light will be a soft white color.� If it says that it is a 5000K, it will be more of a blue-ish white light.� The last thing you�ll need to decide is the type of bulb you will want.� The main types of light bulbs that people use are Incandescent, some sort of long life incandescent, halogen and compact fluorescent light bulbs.� I�m not going to go into the differences in them all here as that is a whole different conversation. �Regardless, many times you will have the option to use any of these types of light bulbs in your can fixture.� I.E.� A BR40 Incandescent is a similar bulb type as a BR40 halogen.� The important thing to remember here is to not go over the wattage the your can fixture recommends.� Using a light bulb with the wattage too high for the fixture could shorten the life of the light bulb and could even cause a fire in
