The main differences between PAR38 and BR40 light bulbs are their beam angles and applications. PAR38 bulbs have a narrower beam angle and are often used for directional lighting, such as spotlights. BR40 bulbs have a wider beam angle and are better suited for general lighting, such as in recessed cans. To determine which one is more suitable for your lighting needs, consider the specific area you want to light and whether you need focused or ambient lighting.
Yes, BR30 reflector bulbs are smaller than BR40 bulbs. The numbers in their names refer to their diameters in eighths of an inch, so a BR30 bulb has a diameter of 3.75 inches, while a BR40 bulb has a diameter of 5 inches. This size difference affects their applications and the areas they are suited to illuminate.
BR40 bulbs have a wider beam angle and are better for general lighting, while PAR38 bulbs have a more focused beam and are ideal for spotlighting. The choice depends on your specific lighting needs: BR40 for broader illumination and PAR38 for targeted lighting.
Yes, a BR30 bulb can fit into a BR40 fixture. However, there may be a small gap in the fixture due to the size difference between the two bulb types. This size difference may impact the aesthetics of the fixture but should not affect the functionality of the bulb.
