I have recessed can fixtures with BR-40 floods installed. Will this tool allow me to grab this large of a bulb?

I have large recessed flood lights as well and the suction cup function worked perfectly to replace these bulbs. I suppose if the original ones were screwed in too tight or if the threads have corroded over time this might not work. I had the opposite problem with another very small "candle" recessed bulb and by using rubber bands on the smaller basket attachment I was able to remove these bulbs as well. I'm very pleased with this product's performance.

I have only used the changer on BR-30 on my 24 foot ceiling. I do have some RB-40's in a box and the changer fits over the bulb without any problem. I get the changer over one side of the bulb and then work it across the face and it snaps over the bulb. This thing is a lifesaver on 24 foot ceilings. Also get the socket extractor in case the glass twists out of the socket. This can happen when turning with your hand.

I'm not sure how you are getting this measurement but it's larger than that. The flood light bulbs (P-38) are wider than 5" and wouldn't fit into a 4" wide fixture. But these fixtures are "standard" size for P-38 stage lighting fixtures, I've been using this types for many yours and from different manufacturers. Also, the price and quality were very good from this provider. Will order again!

Yes as jett G. stated.Although these aren't actuall bulbs so to speak. LED bulbs for recessed cans are coming down in price and lowes/home-depo have been running some specials. so you might want to try an led bulb that will fit your recessed can. Just buy one only and see if you like it.

It will depend on the model of bulb. The inside diameter is 2 1/2 inches. The bulb cannot touch the cover so plan on a maximum of 2 inche's for the diameter of the bulb. If you use a larger bulb you will need to drop it through the sleeve, screw it in and then screw in the sleeve.

It will. However, if you are directly below the bulb and look up into it, you might see some "innards".

I've only ever used a recessed lighting fixture in these, not a bulb. However the recommended bulb for these are BR30's, I'm not sure if a BR40 will fit.

Should work, it comes with accessories to handle flat bulbs (multiple small suction cups that grab the flat surface) and another one with prongs to handle round bulbs. We had the same issue and used it to change the bulbs over the stairwell, but our bulbs were all flat. This kit reaches pretty high and exceeded our expectations. Good luck.

It should, but be aware that it's a 65w bulb and if it is enclosed, it might over heat. If it just in a "can" receptical with an open front, it should be alright.

It all depends on how big the can is. The bulb is about 5" diameter at the biggest part - There are extensions you can get for the socket - like from Cyberguys - but then the bulb is lower and may stick out - even if it did I still like these - they work with dimmers - they are bright when turned up - and low power usage -

I've used the kit on many different bulbs with success. On the par38 bulbs, moisten the suction cup attachment and it should work just fine for you. Some time the suction is too great so I attach a string to the eye of the suction cup so when the bulb has been screwed in and I want the suction to release I can pull the string to get the kit from the bulb. Good luck! ... Capt. Stu

Additionally - There's a ton of room within the can, so this will likely support some of the oddly longer shaped GU10 bulbs.

The numeric portion of a standard bulb-size is the diameter in 1/8-inch units. So a BR40 should be 40/8 = 5" diameter.

It is a bit difficult especially if you have big hands. It will lock but I had to use long curved needle nose pliers to get enough grip on the bulb.

This is simply trim for a 4-inch can. If the bulb is appropriate for the light fixture, then the trim will work fine. It is nice trim. I love it in my home, and the price is right.

FYI The bulb type tells you the answer. The 40 in BR40 is 40/8. all bulb types are the same. A19 is 19/8, etc. I don;t know why they chose that method, but all bulb diameters are in eights of an inch/

I am not sure. The fittings I have used are good for standard and flood bulbs. There is a suction adapter that might work.
