Bioluz LED PAR Series



Bioluz LED leads the industry with its new PAR Series light bulbs. Our unique eco-lens works to magnify 500 powerful lumens into a 40 degree spot pattern replacing traditional 75W BR bulbs.



Now available in PAR20, PAR30 and PAR38 sizes, Bioluz LED offers beautifully styled lamps for your home and office. Warm and bright, Bioluz high performance lamps offer aesthetically pleasing designs combined with quality and energy efficiency. Now for the first time, add Bioluz LED energy efficient LEDs to your home or office while maintaining the cosmetic beauty, brightness and color you've come to love.



What are Lumens and Kelvins?



Lumens are a measurement of how much light is generated – or brightness – each lumen emits approximately the same amount of light as one candle.



Kelvin represents the "color" (which is based on the temperature) of the light.



Bioluz LEDs are manufactured so that our 2700K (2700 Kelvin) bulbs are nearly identical in color to incandescent bulbs. Our 3000K bulbs are designed to match halogen bulbs.



We’ve found that bulbs which are 4-5000K generate a bluish tint on objects (like at a hospital or office building) and are not as comforting in a home.



Many brands sell and market higher Kelvin (4-5000) bulbs with lower lumens to make them "appear" brighter. Bioluz LED manufactures the correct color bulbs with exceptionally bright, energy efficient LEDs, so you get the color and brightness you're accustomed to without the harsh effect of higher color temperatures.

• 75 Watt Replacement using only 7 watts! 500 Lumens - brightest in industry
• 3000K color temperature matches the color of existing halogen lamps
• Instant on at full brightness, dimmable, with 40 degree light dispersment - semi spotlight
• Highest power LED per watt and UL Listed
• Mercury free = safe for kids, pets and the environment

User questions & answers

Question:	Do you have any 100w spot lights
Answer:	Yes. I don't have a dimmer switch where I am using these.
Question:	So if they last 26 years, why is the warranty basically nothing in comparison
Answer:	They will not, but they won't look nearly as harsh as 5000K "Daylight" bulbs. 5000K is a pretty stark color that looks like a harsh blueish light inside the home. I can't stand it myself. I find 3500K to be the perfect natural white color, where the light is white instead of orange like it is with 3000K or 2700K bulbs, but it isn't harsh and blueish like 5000K bulbs. These bulbs are 3000K which produces a warm, orange light that is particularly soothing at night. It's a little too orange for my tastes, but may be just what you're looking for if you want a soft, yellowish light.
Question:	is it for outdoors
Answer:	Please read the “About this item” section. It depends on which type you get.
Question:	What are the dimensions of the bulb? Outer dimension across the lens? Length of bulb from base to lens
Answer:	These bulbs can be used outdoors. However these bulbs are called BR30, but PAR30 bulbs (Triangle Bulbs T97005) is better suited for outdoors. Here is a link To T97005 https://www.amazon.com/Triangle-Bulbs-12-Watt-Dimmable-certified/dp/B00I8VPAEY/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1471967074&sr=8-7&keywords=par30+led

User questions & answers

Question:	These flicker for me, why
Answer:	Lighting in the US is measured in 1/8 inches. This light is a PAR 30. This means that a parabolic aluminized reflector (PAR) 30 bulb is 30 1/8 inch units, or 3.75 inches, sized to fit in a 4 inch diameter can, much like a bulged reflector (BR) 30 bulb. Your mini floodlight is in this PAR style, with a ~ 2 inch diameter could be a PAR 20 bulb (20 1/8 inch units=2.5 inches) with a screw base or the tiny multi faceted reflector (MR) 16 (16 1/8 inch units=2.0 inches) which is usually two pins, rather than a screw base.
Question:	These are labeled "spotlight". How wide /narrow is the illumination? I am looking for wide coverage
Answer:	Yes. Will fit medium base (E26).
Question:	What is a light fixture bulb fits into
Answer:	For our set up, yes. They produced a lot of heat. We did run them 8-12 hrs a day though.

User questions & answers

Question:	what is the diameter of the face of this bulb

Question:	I need to replace dimmable bulbs that go into a high-hat receptlcle . the bulbs i have are 4" across. the marking that i can decipher is 65w 120 v

Sunco BR Bulb FAQ

Where do I use a BR light bulb?

This BR20 LED Light Bulb is suitable for E26 socket light fixtures, including downlights and recessed cans for living areas, hallways, offices, and above kitchen counters. These directional flood lights provide a wide beam spread for wall washing or to cast a wide pool of light in a room.

Is this light waterproof?

It is not wet rated, but you can use Sunco BR bulbs outside in damp zones with no direct exposure to water. Use it in covered porch lights, in protected patio areas, and other places where condensation might occur, but no water seeps through to the bulb.

What is the difference between a PAR and a BR Bulb?

While both PAR and BR bulb types rely on a reflector to direct the light beam, are dimmable, use 120VAC, and feature an E26 base, there are major differences in the light produced by each bulb. There are also some unique qualities about LED PAR and LED BR bulbs. The major difference in light produced by these LED bulbs: PARs produce a spotlight (a narrow beam), BR bulbs are considered to be a flood light (wide beam angle).

What do the numbers on a BR bulb mean?

Manufacturers use standard numbers like BR30 to indicate the bulb size. The number indicates the diameter of the lamp portion, not the base of the bulb. Diameter for these two bulb types is measured in eighths of an inch. Example: BR30 = 30/8 inches or approximately 3 3/4” (Sunco BR Diameters: BR20 = 2.5”, BR30 = 3.74”, BR40 = 4.72”) Traditional BR bulbs include a bulged reflector on the inside of the housing to increase light output. You will notice the bulging shape on our BR LEDs above the socket base (when looking at the bulb from the side like in the graph above).

What does a 110-degree beam angle create?

The beam angle affects the shape of the light produced. Sunco BR bulbs are wide flood lights with their 110-degree beam angle. That means they case a wide pool of light. This makes it suitable for wall washes, as multiple downlights to create general room illumination or ambient light in a large room, and for use in recessed cans to light up a kitchen, stairwell, hallway, entryway, office conference room, or living room. The light BR bulbs produce is of a softer quality than a PAR. Some might say the edges are not as crisp. The soft-edge of the light beam produced by Sunco BR LED Bulbs will create a nice wall wash in interior light fixtures or a great downlight to illuminate a space in a recessed ceiling can. BR bulbs tend to produce fewer shadows.

What are warm lights or cool lights? What about color temperature?

Color temperatures are measured in degrees of Kelvin (K) on a scale from 1,000 to 10,000. This measurement allows you to describe the quality of a light. Commercial and residential lighting applications typically use from 2000K to 65000K color temperatures. Lower color temperatures offer a warmer look. They are more amber, yellow, or a warm white. High color temperatures offer a cooler look. They range from white to blue to blueish silver. Light can help create a mood or define room ambiance. You can recognize color temperatures in the world around you once you have a general understanding of them. Here are some basics to help with that: Candlelight - 2200K, Morning Sun – 2000K to 3000K, Middday (noon to 1p.m.) or Daylight - 5000K to 6000K, Evening Sun – less than 2000K

Are Sunco LED bulbs like this one recyclable?

Yes! Sunco LED bulbs are recyclable. Sunco LED lights do NOT contain mercury, unlike CFL bulbs or other traditional incandescent bulbs might. Our light bulbs contain recyclable components so you should be able to recycle them with your curbside recycling service or solid waste management company. Also note that Sunco packaging is fully recyclable and the cardboard shipping boxes are reusable as well as recyclable. Recycling makes a difference! Join Sunco and be a part of a better tomorrow.
