BR40 LED Flood Bulbs: Power and Coverage for High Ceilings

The BR40 bulb (Bulged Reflector, 5 inches or 40/8ths of an inch wide) is the ultimate solution for large recessed lighting applications. Designed to maximize light spread and output, these BR40 LED bulbs are essential wherever a standard BR30 bulb isn't bright enough to reach the floor. The BR40 is a powerful large flood light that provides wide, soft, and uniform illumination, making it the perfect choice for illuminating tall, expansive rooms.

Key Features of the BR40 Large Flood Light

The superior size and lumen output of the BR40 are engineered for difficult-to-light spaces.

  • High Lumen Output: BR40 light bulbs are consistently among the brightest directional bulbs available, ensuring deep light penetration for high ceiling bulb applications.
  • Optimized for Large Cans: The 5-inch diameter ensures a seamless, professional fit inside 6-inch and 8-inch recessed can openings.
  • Wide Beam Spread: The Bulged Reflector design maximizes the beam angle, providing excellent, even indoor flood lighting across vast spaces, minimizing dark spots.
  • Energy-Efficient Power: As BR40 LED bulbs, they replace high-wattage incandescent bulbs without generating significant heat, which is vital for safe operation in sealed ceiling fixtures.

Where to Install BR40 LED Light Bulbs

The BR40 excels in areas where maximum light output and coverage are required.

  • Great Rooms and Lobbies: Ideal as a high ceiling bulb, providing effective ambient light where standard bulbs fall short.
  • Basements and Garages: Used to flood large utility areas with bright, functional light.
  • Commercial Spaces: Perfect for retail floors, large offices, and conference rooms where consistent, high-output overhead lighting is needed.
  • Large Residential Recessed Cans: Used in new construction or remodels that utilize 8-inch can sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main difference between a BR30 bulb and a BR40 bulb?

Both are Bulged Reflectors, but the BR40 bulb is significantly larger in diameter (5 inches vs. 3.75 inches for the BR30) and offers a much higher maximum lumen output (brightness) to cover a greater area, making it ideal for high ceilings.

Will a BR40 LED bulb fit in my standard 5-inch recessed can?

No, generally, the BR40 bulb is too wide (5 inches) to fit properly inside the standard 5-inch recessed can opening. The BR30 is designed for 5-inch and 6-inch cans. The BR40 requires a 6-inch or larger recessed can opening for a proper fit.

What is the benefit of using BR40 LED bulbs in a large space?

The benefit is efficiency and coverage. Because the br40 light bulb has a wider face, it casts a wider beam. You need fewer fixtures to achieve uniform light distribution across a large floor plan, saving installation costs and energy.

Can I use a BR40 in a normal, low (8-foot) ceiling?

While possible, it is usually overkill. The high lumen output of the BR40 bulb and its wide beam angle can cause excessive glare and over-illumination in low-ceiling rooms. The BR30 is usually the better choice for standard ceiling heights.

What base does the BR40 bulb use?

The BR40 bulb uses the standard E26 medium screw base, the same as most household A-Type and BR30 bulbs. This allows for simple screw-in installation.
