PAR38 LED Bulbs: Durable Outdoor & Security Flood Lights

The PAR38 bulb is known for its rugged construction and powerful, focused beam. The "PAR" stands for Parabolic Aluminized Reflector, meaning the bulb's interior features a hard glass, sealed shell, and an internal reflector to create an intense, controlled light beam. These characteristics make the PAR38 LED the undisputed champion among outdoor flood light bulbs and a reliable choice for effective security light bulb applications. Using the standard E26 medium base, upgrading to PAR38 LED delivers massive energy savings and superior weather resistance.

Unmatched Durability of the PAR38 Reflector

The design of the PAR38 LED is engineered for maximum performance and longevity in demanding environments.

  • Weather Resistance: The sealed glass lens and hard exterior make the PAR38 bulb highly resistant to rain, snow, and extreme temperature shifts, essential for any outdoor flood light bulb.
  • Focused Light Intensity: The parabolic reflector directs light with precision, creating a strong beam that maintains brightness over long distances, ideal for accent and task lighting.
  • High Lumen Performance: Available in high lumen options to replace 150W and 250W incandescent bulbs, providing the brightness needed for large-area security lighting.
  • Standard E26 Base: Despite its robust size, every PAR38 LED uses the standard E26 medium base for easy installation into existing motion-sensor and fixture sockets.

Key Uses for PAR38 Outdoor Flood Lights

The PAR38 bulb is the preferred choice when durability, intensity, and focus are non-negotiable requirements.

  • Outdoor Security: The essential security light bulb for motion-sensor fixtures, illuminating driveways, entryways, and large yards with powerful, concentrated light.
  • Landscape Accent Lighting: Used to dramatically highlight architecture, trees, and large landscape features with a precise, intense spotlight.
  • Commercial & Retail Lighting: Ideal for track and downlighting in stores where high-intensity light is needed to showcase merchandise or displays.
  • High-Bay Outdoor Fixtures: Used in pole lighting and exterior canopy applications requiring strong, downward directional light.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the key functional difference between a BR30 and a PAR38 bulb?

The BR30 bulb is designed for soft, even indoor flood lighting with less intense beams. The PAR38 bulb has a sealed, hard glass lens and a parabolic reflector that produces a much more intense, focused beam (better for distance and outdoor use) and is more durable.

Can I use a PAR38 bulb indoors?

Yes. While the PAR38 LED is famous as an outdoor flood light bulb, it is also used indoors in high ceilings, large commercial spaces, or track lighting where a precise, high-intensity spot light bulb is needed to illuminate a specific area or product.

Will a PAR38 fit into a standard light socket?

Yes. The PAR38 bulb uses the standard E26 medium base, so it screws into the socket just like a regular household bulb. However, it is physically large (4.75 inches wide), so it must be used in fixtures designed to accommodate its size.

What is the typical lifespan of a PAR38 LED bulb?

Due to their durable construction and cool-running LED technology, modern PAR38 LED bulbs often have lifespans exceeding 25,000 hours, significantly reducing maintenance costs, especially for hard-to-reach outdoor security fixtures.

Are all PAR38 bulbs waterproof?

No bulb is entirely waterproof, but the PAR38 bulb’s construction is highly weather-resistant and is designed to be used in outdoor flood light bulb fixtures. Always confirm the bulb is rated for "Wet Locations" if it will be directly exposed to rain.
