G E Lighting 38446 Led PAR30 12W Flood Bulb 2700K 3 Pack

Product Description

The G E LIGHTING 38446 is a 12-watt LED PAR30 long-neck flood bulb designed as a direct energy-saving replacement for 75-watt incandescent lamps. It delivers 1,000 lumens of soft white light at 2,700 Kelvin with a tight 25-degree beam angle, making it well suited for accent lighting, recessed cans, and track fixtures. A Color Rendering Index of 80 ensures colors read accurately under the lamp. The medium base and dimmable driver make this a straightforward swap in existing fixtures. Rated at 15,000 hours — roughly 13.7 years at average use — this lamp reduces both maintenance calls and energy draw on residential and light-commercial circuits.

This bulb is rated for indoor use and is packaged in a quantity of three units per box. The PAR30 long-neck form factor fits standard recessed housings, track heads, and outdoor-rated enclosed fixtures that accept a medium base lamp. Its diffused lens finish softens the beam edge while maintaining the 25-degree flood spread, suitable for wall-wash and spot applications in living spaces, retail displays, and hospitality settings. Licensed electricians and lighting contractors commonly specify this lamp during retrofit projects where incandescent or halogen PAR30s are being replaced for energy-code compliance.

Key Features

• 12 watts, equivalent output to a 75-watt incandescent — significantly reduces fixture energy load
• 1,000 lumens output with 2,700 Kelvin soft white color temperature
• 25-degree beam angle optimized for accent and directional flood applications
• Dimmable driver compatible with standard leading-edge and trailing-edge dimmers
• 15,000-hour rated life (approximately 13.7 years) reduces relamping frequency
• CRI of 80 for accurate color rendering in residential and retail environments
• Comes in a 3-pack box, reducing per-unit cost on multi-fixture jobs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for standard medium-base PAR30 long-neck lamp sockets rated for LED or incandescent sources. Verify fixture compatibility with dimmable LED lamps before installation; not all legacy dimmer switches perform correctly with LED drivers.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or experienced lighting technician. Always de-energize the circuit at the breaker before removing or inserting any lamp. Confirm that the dimmer switch in the circuit is rated for dimmable LED loads, as incandescent-only dimmers may cause flicker or reduced lamp life. This lamp is rated for indoor use only; do not install in wet or damp-rated locations unless the fixture is specifically listed for that environment.
