What wattage and lumen output does this BR20 LED bulb provide?
This BR20 LED lamp draws 7.5W and delivers 525 lumens. Delivered footcandles will depend on beam spread, fixture/trim losses, ceiling height, spacing, and room reflectances.
What IESNA-standard footcandle targets does a BR20 typically support?
IES targets are application-based, but BR20 lamps are commonly used for smaller downlights, accent, and localized ambient lighting. Typical maintained illuminance benchmarks used in planning include:
- Hallways / circulation: 5–10 fc
- Residential living areas (general ambient): 10–20 fc
- Bedrooms (general ambient): 5–20 fc
- Kitchens (general): 20–50 fc
- Task zones (vanity / counters / desks): 50–100 fc
- Retail accent / feature: 50–150+ fc (as required by the display intent)
For layouts, confirm targets at the appropriate workplane (commonly 30" AFF for task surfaces). A BR20 at 525 lumens is often used in higher quantities or tighter spacing when the goal is uniform ambient coverage.
How does this 7.5W lamp relate to LPD (Lighting Power Density) planning?
LPD (Lighting Power Density) is installed lighting power divided by floor area (W/ft²). A 7.5W BR20 can reduce connected load compared with higher-wattage legacy BR lamps, but compliance is determined by the total connected watts of all luminaires/lamps within the controlled space and the adopted code compliance method.
- Installed LPD = (Total lighting watts in the space) ÷ (Area in ft²)
- Compare installed LPD to the allowed LPD for the space type.
Controls can reduce energy consumption in operation, but they do not change connected watts; document controls separately where required by the jurisdiction.
What color temperature (CCT) options are available?
The lamp is available in 2700K, 3000K, 4000K, and 5000K. Use 2700K–3000K where warmer appearance is preferred, 4000K for neutral white, and 5000K for higher perceived brightness and visual acuity in task-oriented areas.
What does 90+ CRI mean for specification and appearance?
A 90+ CRI rating supports more accurate color rendering than standard 80 CRI lamps, which can be relevant for retail displays, finish matching, and any space where color discrimination is part of the lighting intent.
Is this BR20 bulb dimmable?
Yes. The specification lists the lamp as dimmable. Verify compatibility with the installed dimmer type and confirm minimum dim level and stability requirements for the space.
What base type does the lamp use?
The lamp uses a Medium (E26) base, supporting standard screw-base installations and many retrofit downlight housings designed for BR lamps.
What input voltage is required?
This model is rated for 120V operation.
What certifications and compliance markings are included?
The lamp is UL Listed, CEC Title 20 Compliant, and ENERGY STAR® Rated, supporting projects that require listed products and regulated-lamp compliance documentation.
What are the lamp dimensions for fit checks?
The bulb measures 2.48" in diameter and 3.75" in height. Use these dimensions to verify fit in recessed housings, gimbal trims, and shallow plenums where lamp length is constrained.
What is the rated life and warranty coverage?
The rated life is 15,000 hours and the lamp includes a 3-year warranty. For maintenance planning, convert rated life into replacement intervals using actual operating hours.
