What wattage and lumen output does this BR40 LED bulb provide?
This BR40 LED lamp draws 13W and delivers 1,100 lumens. In-field illuminance will vary based on ceiling height, beam distribution, trim type, and room surface reflectances.
What IESNA-standard footcandle targets does a BR40 typically support?
IES guidance is application-specific, but BR40 lamps are commonly used for general ambient lighting in larger areas where typical maintained illuminance targets include:
- 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 values as planning benchmarks and confirm final targets with a layout calculation at the workplane (commonly 30" AFF for desks/counters, or floor for circulation).
How does this 13W lamp relate to LPD (Lighting Power Density) planning?
LPD (Lighting Power Density) is installed lighting power divided by area (W/ft²). A 13W BR40 can reduce connected load compared to higher-wattage legacy BR lamps, but compliance is determined by the total connected watts of all fixtures/lamps within the controlled space and the adopted code method (space-by-space or building area).
- Installed LPD = (Total lighting watts in the space) ÷ (Area in ft²)
- Compare installed LPD to the allowed LPD for the applicable space type.
Controls can materially reduce operating energy, but they do not change connected watts; confirm whether your jurisdiction applies any control-related compliance pathways separately.
What color temperature (CCT) options are available?
The lamp is available in 2700K, 3000K, 4000K, and 5000K. Select 2700K–3000K for warmer appearance applications, 4000K for neutral white, and 5000K for higher visual acuity in task-oriented spaces.
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 finishes, merchandise, and spaces where color discrimination is part of the lighting intent.
Is this BR40 bulb dimmable?
Yes. The specification lists the lamp as dimmable. For field performance, verify compatibility with the installed dimmer type and confirm acceptable low-end stability for the application.
What base type does the lamp use?
The lamp uses a Medium (E26) base, a standard screw-base format for many BR40 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 that require safety listing and regulated-lamp compliance, and they can simplify documentation where ENERGY STAR qualification is requested.
What are the lamp dimensions for fit checks?
The bulb measures 4.92" in diameter and 6.22" in height. Use these dimensions to confirm clearance with recessed housings, trims, and any shallow-can constraints where overall length is a limiting factor.
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 expected replacement intervals using actual operating hours.
