Hi, I'm using "Plusirte" PAR20 Floodlight Halogen now, I want to buy a LED light instead Plusite. But I was wondering if im looking at the right one.

I'm using the Phillips in a high-hat can fixture and it works great. Lots of light and the color of the light (daylight) is right.Hope this helps.

Yes, this should work for an indoor fixture. I've used it in a kitchen ceiling can, over a counter, and it's practically indistinguishable from the R20 halogen it replaced, except that it doesn't dim quite as low. Make sure it's the color you want -- this one is warm white, 2700K.

PAR 20 refers to general shape and dimensions. You also need to check three things: flood or spot; lumens; and color (usually 2700K/warm or 3000K/cooler).

Well, you could check this one I'm using. It's also PAR20 and I've been using it for years now. I'm sure you'll be greatly pleased with the quality and the results Triangle Bulbs (Pack Of 4) 7-Watt (50-Watt) PAR20 LED Flood Light Bulb, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,

Normally a PAR20 provides more focused spot lighting (narrow width light). An R20 usually spreads the light more (wider dispersed light). That said there are some variations of beam widths for PAR20's. The R20 is almost an inch longer which also contributes to a wider light since the face of the bulb sits flush with most recessed fixtures.

My best advice would be to go to Lowes or Home Depot and check if the size/plug are the same.Do keep in mind though that, if you have dimmers, they have to be LED compatible dimmers otherwise you may be able to mount 1 or 2 before they start 'flickering' and you're living in a constant 'disco'....

I use the LED flood lights. They are great! They've been in there for a few years.

Robert - I'm not sure about replacing the R16 with a PAR 16. When I replaced all of my halogen with LED, I swapped PAR 16 with PAR 16. If they're the same size, try one and see if it works. Also, if you have a Costco in your area they are much cheaper than Amazon if you can find your bulb type.

I've used LEDS only and they been running perfectly for 6-7 months now. I recommend you check the ones made by Torchstar if you are talking about MR16s. Their new line of LEDs match halogen output as well as color. I posted a detail review with a bunch of pictures.

BR30/PAR30 are typically used in indoor recessed ceiling fixtures. BR40/PAR40 are much bigger. I've only seen them used as outdoor flood lights.

Hello Keith, In my opinion, using the lamp for lighting with an indoor water feature, this bulb out performs the halogen. Thought it might be lacking, could not have been more wrong . Better, more eye pleasing color, aggressive brightness output, no heat by comparison, much less electricity. Would never go back to a halogen for myself. I have a great deal of experience in many light sources, this lamp for me exceeds expectations, very satisfied. Hope your experience matches mine. Best of success in lighting.

I have the BR30 and the BR40. Bought all the lights out and these are the best. The BR30 puts out 100 lumens less than the BR40. The BR30 fits the smaller fixture or the larger one. Smaller ones are good for the eyeball fixtures. I really see very little less light on the BR30. However Ii will use the 40 in most fixtures as it fits the six inch can better and does have a tiny bit more light. I waited a long time for these babies. Only the price will get better. The quality is right.

Jim,Based on the design observed, there maybe a question on whether the motion sensor output is compatible with the LED power supply in the flood light. The motion sensor output switch may be solid state and may not be able to control the power supply correctly based on the current draw and power factor of the LED power supply. You need to check with the motion sensor manufacturer to determine if it is able to handle the LED light load. Unfortunately there is little technical information available for the LED lamp.

If there is no standard A19 base in your can (a regular light bulb base) then this is the wrong LED trim for you. Is there a little orange plug? You can get an LED retrofit at Home Depot for that or any big box store. Or hunt for one here.

R20 used to be for indoors and PAR20 use to be for outdoors because they use to be waterproof but now with LED the PAR20 are mostly not waterproof so there isn't much different in my eyes so here is a link to a great beautiful designed R20 LED Bulb Triangle Bulbs T95059-6 (6 pack) - 9-Watt (50-Watt) R20 Indoor Flood LED Light Bulb, Soft white, 800 Lumens, 6-Pack

No. Also, I HIGHLY recommend saving your $$ and get standard floods instead of LED. Others are recommending LED but consider the use before assuming LEDs are better. LED bulbs are best when a light is on for extended time (time=$$). Motion lights are not on all the time. They typically are off more than on. You won't be getting a return from power savings on the money spent LEDs for a long time. You also sacrifice the brightness (lumens) as the brightest LED floods aren't anywhere close to the brightness of standard/cheaper floods.

The PAR20 is, I think, designed for shallow inset fixtures in ceilings. It puts out a very bright and very white light but produces a pretty small diameter cone of light that does not work well for short working distances such as in arm lamps and even small sized track lights. I sent all mine back because of this. I tried one in several applications and the light cone was just too small. I loved the brightness of it for a closeup work lamp but the light spread was too limited. I think they would work great in flush fixtures set in a higher ceiling.

The light from a PAR bulb is focused. If you seek a broad flood, try a BR30 or BR40.

I bought this light in advance for remodeling. My contractor will be installing it within the next week. My new addition will have dimmable switches, so I after measuring the space in the light, I purchased a 75W dimmable LED. The only thing I have read from reviews about this light is you have to be careful of overheating the bulb is fully enclosed. That's why I chose a bulb style rather than a floodlight style and the lower wattage. Hope this helps.

My suggestion is to try both and see which one fits the item better. I had previously used the traditional halogen lights which has a slight yellow tint but worked very well with the product I was using which had white and silver colors in the packaging. The lights set behind the light box diffuses and softens the color so test it first before spending money on new bulbs.

Thanks! Just wanted to make sure it was ok for my Surefire LED lights. Thanks again!
