When it comes to lighting up your space, LED flood & spot light bulbs are an excellent choice. These bulbs offer bright and efficient illumination, making them perfect for a wide range of applications, from outdoor security lighting to indoor accent lighting.
LED Flood Light Bulbs vs. LED Spot Light Bulbs
Flood light bulbs and spot light bulbs differ primarily in their beam angle. Flood lights produce a wide beam of light, typically spreading 40 to 120 degrees. This broad coverage makes them ideal for illuminating large areas, providing general illumination, and enhancing security. Spot lights, on the other hand, emit a narrow, focused beam of light, usually between 10 and 40 degrees. This concentrated light is perfect for highlighting specific objects, architectural features, or landscaping elements.
Different Bulb Shapes & Bases
Flood and spot light bulbs come in various shapes and sizes, including:
- PAR (Parabolic Aluminized Reflector): These bulbs have a parabolic reflector that controls the beam angle. Common sizes include PAR38, PAR36/AR111, PAR30, PAR20, and PAR16.
- BR (Bulged Reflector): Similar to PAR bulbs but with a slightly more rounded shape. BR30 and BR40 are common sizes.
- MR (Multifaceted Reflector): These bulbs have a series of small, angled surfaces that create a precise beam of light. MR16 and MR11 are common sizes, often used in track lighting and display cases.
Common bulb bases for flood and spot lights include:
- E26 (Medium Screw Base): The standard base size for most household light fixtures.
- GU10: A two-pin base commonly used in track lighting and recessed lighting.
- GU5.3: Another two-pin base often found in low-voltage landscape lighting.
