- What is the difference between BR 30 and Br 40 bulbs?
The difference between the two is their diameter which is measured with the number code 1/8 inches. BR 30 is 3.75 inches and BR 40 is 5 inches.
- Which is better BR 30 or BR 40?
The choice depends on the need. Talking about brightness, BR 40 is brighter than BR 30. The beam of floodlight is wider in BR 40.
- Can I replace BR 40 with BR 30 LED bulb?
If you are concerned about wattage, any lower-wattage light bulb can replace a high-wattage lighting fixture. So, yes you can technically replace BR 40 LED bulbs with BR 30. But, there are other considerations to take care of. If the size of the can is 6 inches, BR 30 bulb will leave a wide gap and will not look good. If your ceiling is too high, replacing a BR 40 with BR 30 may make the place look less lighted and dull.
- What do PAR, BR, and MR stand for in LED lighting?
PAR stands for Parabolic Aluminized Reflector; this type of LED bulb is used for a focused and narrow beam of light. They do not exceed the angle of 45 degrees in most cases. MR stands for Multi-faceted Reflector. They have the narrowest beam of light and are mostly used as a spotlight. BR stands for Bulged Reflectors. These have the widest beam of light and are mostly used as floodlights. The angle of the beam often exceeds 100 degrees.
- Can I use BR 30 bulb in a lamp?
BR 30 or BR 40 bulbs can be easily fitted into any household fixture including a lamp. But, the light reflected by these bulbs is directional i.e. the beam of light is focused straight ahead. So, they are best suited for recessed lighting either in the ceiling or in walls. A lamp requires a bulb that would spread light in all directions. So, it won’t be an intelligent decision to use BR 30 bulb in a lamp.
