R40 halogen light bulbs to replace higher wattage incandescent.

Many people may not know it, but you can get a white halogen light in a softer light with R40 halogen flood light bulbs. These lamps are a large size flood, 5 inches at the opening of the reflector, but they produce a lot of light and have a nice, smooth floodlighting effect. That's why they been the choice of homeowners wanting to retain the look of standard flood lights while still getting a whiter, more dramatic halogen light.

The lighting fixtures for the R40 halogen flood light bulbs are probably some of the most numerous in lighting, because they are usually housed in a 6 inch recessed can. Some of the time we find people using them in track lighting fixtures, but most people have switched to PAR halogens in those types of fixtures. They are available in 75, 100 or 120 watts which can replace up to a 150 watt incandescent giving you excellent energy savings while maintaining light levels that you're used to. Make sure that whatever fixture you're going to use them in is rated to take the correct wattage and match it to the wattage there on these bulbs.

R40 halogen flood light bulbs are great for areas where you want energy efficiency but can't make any compromise in the lighting effect you want. If you've used incandescent reflector floods, then you can get more light in the same size light bulb size. They're a perfect replacement for that lamp and sometimes there are even a good replacement for certain kinds of halogen PAR lamps when you're trying to soften the effect of the lighting you have. Some people think it generates more heat than other lamps, but it's marginal, the thing to keep in mind is the wattage that you're using and what your fixture is rated for. Stay within those guidelines on the label inside the fixture and you shouldn't have any issues or problems.
