G E Lighting 45546 Led R20 Reflector Bulb 5W Daylight

Product Description

The G E LIGHTING 45546 is a 5-watt, R20-shape directional LED reflector bulb rated at 450 lumens with a 5,000 Kelvin daylight color temperature. It replaces a 45-watt incandescent lamp, delivering significant energy savings without sacrificing light output. The bulb ships in a package quantity of 6 and is dimmable, making it suitable for installations where dimmer-compatible fixtures are specified. With a 35-degree beam angle, it is built for focused, directional illumination. Rated at 15,000 hours of life — roughly 13.7 years at typical usage — it reduces replacement frequency in commercial and residential settings alike. Licensed electricians and lighting contractors are the primary installers.

The 45546 is designed for recessed can fixtures, track lighting, and accent lighting applications that call for a directional R20 lamp. The 5,000 Kelvin output provides a crisp, high-definition daylight appearance, well-suited for task lighting in kitchens, retail display cases, and commercial work areas. The medium base (E26) fits standard sockets found in most residential and light-commercial recessed housings. The bulb carries California Title 20 compliance, making it an approved choice for projects in Title 20-regulated jurisdictions.

Installation Notes

Always de-energize the circuit at the breaker before replacing lamps in any fixture. Verify that the existing dimmer switch is rated for LED loads before connecting a dimmable LED bulb — many older incandescent-only dimmers cause flicker or hum with LED sources. Confirm the fixture is rated for the bulb dimensions: the 45546 has a maximum overall length of 3.64 inches. Work in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for lighting circuit installation and replacement.
