PAR30 LED Bulbs: Precision Lighting for Track & Recessed Cans
The PAR30 LED bulb is a highly popular directional lamp known for its controlled light distribution and medium size. Unlike the softer BR shapes, the PAR30 bulb utilizes a hard glass lens and a precise reflector to deliver a focused, intense beam, making it excellent for task and accent illumination. Our durable PAR30 LED bulbs are highly valued for their ability to deliver powerful, directional light with maximum energy efficiency in both commercial and residential settings.
The Versatile Design of the PAR30 Reflector
The versatility of the PAR30 bulb comes from its optimized shape and availability in different physical dimensions.
- Precise Beam Control: The parabolic reflector directs the light more tightly than a BR bulb, making the PAR30 a top choice for spotlighting displays and work surfaces.
- Short Neck (SP) and Long Neck (LP) Options: PAR30 LED bulbs are uniquely available in two neck lengths to ensure a perfect fit—the short neck for standard track heads and the long neck for deep recessed cans to prevent socket shadowing.
- Superior Task Lighting: With available beam angles from narrow spot to wide flood, this bulb excels as a dedicated track lighting bulb for kitchens, offices, and galleries.
- Consistent Quality: As an LED, the PAR30 offers instant-on brightness and a long lifespan, reducing maintenance costs significantly.
Best Uses for PAR30 Track and Recessed Bulbs
The focused beam and size of the PAR30 bulb make it essential for applications requiring directional control.
- Track Lighting Systems: The compact head and superior beam make the PAR30 LED bulb the industry standard for illuminating hallways, artwork, and retail displays.
- 5-6 Inch Recessed Cans: The short neck version is often used in shallow ceilings, while the long neck version is essential for deep recessed cans to ensure the light source is flush with the trim.
- Retail Spotlighting: Ideal for highlighting merchandise in shops and galleries where the light needs to be concentrated and bright.
- Kitchen Task Areas: Used above countertops and food prep areas to provide clear, shadow-free work lighting.
