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.

What are the differences between par38 and br40 light bulbs and which one is more suitable for my lighting needs?

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.


What are the differences between par30 and par38 bulbs in terms of their size, brightness, and suitability for different lighting applications?

Par30 bulbs are smaller and have a narrower beam angle compared to Par38 bulbs. Par38 bulbs are larger and brighter, making them suitable for illuminating larger spaces or areas that require more light. Par30 bulbs are better for accent lighting or smaller spaces.


What are the differences between par38 and par30 bulbs in terms of their size, brightness, and suitability for different lighting applications?

Par38 bulbs are larger and brighter than Par30 bulbs. Par38 bulbs are typically used for larger spaces and outdoor lighting, while Par30 bulbs are better suited for smaller areas and accent lighting.


Can i replace a cfl PAR38 bulb with a PAR 30 LED BULB?

Yes, you can replace a CFL PAR38 bulb with a PAR30 LED bulb, but you should consider the size and brightness. PAR38 bulbs are typically larger and produce more light (up to 100 watts equivalent) than PAR30 bulbs, which are smaller and generally provide less brightness (up to 75 watts equivalent). Ensure that the fixture can accommodate the size difference and that the LED bulb meets your lighting needs. Always check the wattage and compatibility with your fixture before making the switch.


What are the different sizes available for PAR light bulbs?

PAR light bulbs are available in various sizes, including PAR16, PAR20, PAR30, and PAR38.


What wattage is a par 38 bulb?

A typical PAR38 bulb can range from 10-120 watts, depending on the type of technology used (incandescent, LED, halogen). It is always important to check the specific wattage indicated on the packaging or label of the bulb before purchasing or installing it.


How many lumens are in a 300 watt incandescent light bulb?

The actual amount of light (lumens) given off by a bulb depends on the how the bulb was made and with what materials. It depends on the filament material, its length and thickness, and the type of gas in the bulb. As a rule, longer lasting bulbs of the same wattage will generally be less bright than others and brighter bulbs of the same wattage will not last as long as other bulbs.Sample lumen outputs:Sylvania 250 Watt Indoor Soft White 3-Way Bulb can emit 3940 lumens at its highest setting.Philips 250 Watt 120 to 130V PAR38 Krypton Flood Bulb emits 3100 lumens


Will you start a fire if you plug high power usuage applicances into a wall socket a Computer and lighting system and heater and games console and 50inch tv and toaster?

In a house each outlet is typically part of a circuit with a number of outlets. This circuit is protected by a breaker or fuse designed to prevent too much current from flowing through the circuit. The wire in your walls is rated at a certain amperage capacity based on the rating of the breaker or fuse and all devices connected to the circuit should be rated for the frequency and voltage of the circuit. Therefore, if all your appliances and other loads are less than about 80% of the rated current you should be fine. If you add too much load, too much current will cause the breaker to trip or fuse to blow. The 80% rule is typically used for planning how to populate the circuit with loads. You will get some fluctuation in current when you turn on certain appliances called a surge. If you try and run too close to the rated current you will be more susceptible to blowing the fuse or tripping the breaker. A little clarification. It's not good to plug lighting, heater, and toaster (all high current draw) with your expensive and sensitive electronics (TV, computer, game console). These can induce surges, sagging power, and other things your expensive electronics won't like, and these can damage your most expensive stuff. If it were my computer, TV, and game, I'd try to find a dedicated circuit (on its own breaker) for them. A surge suppressor and line filter/conditioner would be wise, too. Typical circuits are 15 to 20 amps. A heater is around 1200-1500 watts, and will max out a 15 amp circuit breaker. Most heaters also have a fan motor. When it turns off, the magnetic field collapses and throws a nasty high voltage surge into the line. Same principle as the ignition coil and points on a car. Air conditioners and refrigerators are even worse. So will a toaster (around the same power). I don't know how powerful your "lighting system" is. Are we talking a few Christmas tree lights, incandescents, halogens, or fluorescents, or do you have PAR38's, strobes, "fancy" stage lights, and DMX controllers? I'm concerned because you call it a "system", and that sounds like high power. If it makes the place HOT, it's high power. If you need to use an extension cord, I'd use it for the lower power stuff. If you have to use it for the toaster, heater, etc., you'll need a large gauge cord. The cords should be labelled as to capacity and max length. Good luck.


What is lumen output for a 250w halogen?

Halogen lamps run hotter than conventional incandescents, and as a result of their hotter filaments, emit a whiter light with more of the light in the visible range, and less in the infrared. A typical 50W halogen emits between 800 and 950 lumens.
