Many countries around the world continue to ban halogen light bulbs while LED light bulbs offer increased energy efficiency and reduced effects of CO2 emissions. See how the ban on halogen lighting can effect LED lighting.

PAR36 bulbs control light in a precise or designated space which produces a concentrated light intensity. These bulbs work in both indoor and outdoor fixtures, and have a much wider beam compared to smaller-size bulbs.

The PAR30 bulb sees use primarily in outdoor fixtures but increasingly in indoor fixtures as well. The large diameter of these bulbs makes them ideal for producing a sharp, focused light which illuminates a single object, and these lights work well as spot and flood lighting.

PAR20 LED light bulbs project light in a controlled space to produce a concentrated beam and make great replacements for incandescent bulbs. These bulbs work best in areas that require a bright flood beam spread, but they also make good spotlights.

As the smallest bulb in the PAR series, the PAR16 LED bulb sees common use in retail and commercial lighting applications, such as museum display cases. This bulb produces a very narrow beam angle and typically has a higher color temperature and lumen output.

LED PAR bulbs come in a wide variety of size options which suit many different applications. Search our vast collection of LED PAR bulbs to find the perfect bulb for your space.

Replacing LED bulbs seems confusing at first because LED bulbs use significantly less wattage than their incandescent counterparts while emitting the same amount of brightness. Learn the wattage equivalents of incandescent and LED bulbs to make sure you replace your incandescent bulbs with the correct LED.

Different beam angles work for different situations. The farther the light fixture from the targeted area, the smaller the beam requirements you need.
