What wattage and lumen output does this BR30 LED bulb provide?
This BR30 LED lamp draws 8W and delivers 700 lumens. For estimating delivered light, remember that fixture efficiency, trim type, ceiling height, and room surface reflectances materially affect workplane illuminance.
What IESNA-standard footcandle targets does a BR30 typically support?
IES guidance is application-specific, but BR30 retrofits are commonly used to meet typical maintained illuminance targets such as:
- Residential living areas: 10–20 fc (general ambient)
- Kitchens (general): 20–50 fc
- Kitchen task zones / counters: 50–100 fc
- Hallways / circulation: 5–10 fc
- Retail aisles (general): 30–50 fc
- Retail feature / merchandise emphasis: 50–100+ fc (as required by merchandising intent)
Use these as starting points and confirm final values with a layout calculation. If you are targeting a specific fc at the workplane (typically 30" AFF for desks/counters, or floor for circulation), the number of lamps required depends on spacing, beam distribution, and ceiling height.
How does this 8W lamp relate to LPD (Lighting Power Density) compliance?
LPD (Lighting Power Density) is the installed lighting power in a space divided by the area (W/ft²). Using an 8W BR30 can help reduce installed watts versus higher-wattage legacy lamps, but LPD compliance is determined by the total connected load of the lighting system (all fixtures/lamps) within the controlled area and the applicable energy code method used (space-by-space or building area).
For LPD planning, a quick check is:
- Installed LPD = (Total fixture watts in the space) ÷ (Area in ft²)
- Compare installed LPD to the allowed LPD for the space type under the adopted code.
If controls are part of the design, confirm whether your jurisdiction applies control credits/adjustments separately; controls do not change connected watts, but they can impact compliance paths and operational energy.
What color temperature (CCT) options are available?
The lamp is offered in four CCT options: 2700K, 3000K, 4000K, and 5000K. 2700K and 3000K are typically used for warmer appearance lighting, 4000K for neutral white, and 5000K for higher visual acuity in task-oriented areas.
What does 90+ CRI mean in practical terms?
A 90+ CRI rating indicates higher color rendering accuracy than standard 80 CRI lamps, supporting more consistent color appearance for finishes, merchandise, and wayfinding where color quality is part of the spec.
Is this BR30 bulb dimmable?
Yes. The specification lists the lamp as dimmable. For field performance, confirm compatibility with the installed dimmer type and validate dimming stability at the intended low-end setpoint.
What base type does the lamp use?
The lamp uses a Medium (E26) base, which is the standard screw-base format for many BR30 retrofit applications.
What input voltage is required?
This model is rated for 120V operation and is intended for standard line-voltage installations.
What certifications and compliance markings are included?
The lamp is UL Listed, CEC Title 20 Compliant, and ENERGY STAR® Rated. These markings support projects where safety listing and regulated-lamp compliance are required, and they can simplify documentation for programs that reference ENERGY STAR criteria.
What are the lamp dimensions for fit checks in recessed housings?
The bulb measures 3.74" in diameter and 5.28" in height. Use these dimensions to confirm clearance with recessed trims, shallow housings, and any decorative apertures where overall length can be a constraint.
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, pair rated life with site operating hours to estimate replacement intervals and spares requirements.
