BR20 LED bulbs are the ideal choice for upgrading small-aperture recessed cans, track lighting, and indoor directional fixtures. Designed to replace standard 50-watt incandescent lamps, these energy-efficient LEDs deliver a smooth, wide beam of light with excellent color accuracy. Their compact profile allows them to fit perfectly in 4-inch recessed housings, providing a clean, professional look for any interior space.
Our selection of dimmable BR20 LEDs is engineered for a long 25,000-hour rated life and significantly cooler operating temperatures. This makes them perfect for display lighting, art galleries, and any application where heat-sensitive materials are present. By switching to these low-wattage reflectors, you can reduce energy costs and maintenance frequency while maintaining superior brightness and visual comfort.
Technical Spotlight: The BR20 Advantage
The "BR" in BR20 stands for Bulge Reflector. These bulbs are designed with an internal coating that redirects light forward, while the frosted lens creates a soft, diffused glow.
Soft-Edge Beam Patterns
Unlike PAR bulbs that create a sharp "spot," BR20 LED bulbs produce a "wash" of light. This soft-edge beam is preferred for general ambient lighting because it blends seamlessly with neighboring fixtures, eliminating harsh shadows on the floor or walls.
Dimmable Comfort
Our BR20 series features advanced drivers that allow for flicker-free dimming down to 10% or lower. This is essential for residential living areas or hospitality environments where you need to adjust the atmosphere throughout the day.
Where to Use BR20 LEDs
Residential Recessed Lighting
If your home has smaller 4-inch "pot lights" or "cans," the BR20 is the standard size. It sits flush or slightly recessed within the trim, providing a finished look that doesn't protrude like larger bulbs might.
Retail and Accent Displays
In track lighting fixtures, BR20 LED replacements are excellent for illuminating shelving or wall-mounted displays. Because they emit very little UV or IR radiation, they won't damage sensitive fabrics, paintings, or perishable goods over time.
