G E Lighting 46961 Led R16 6W 2700K Dimmable Bulb 2 Pack

Product Description

The G E LIGHTING 46961 is a two-pack of dimmable LED R16 light bulbs designed as an energy-efficient replacement for 40-watt incandescent lamps. Each bulb draws only 6 watts while delivering 400 lumens at a warm white 2700K color temperature. Built on an R16 reflector form factor with a standard medium base, these bulbs fit a wide range of residential and light-commercial luminaires without modification. The rated service life of 25,000 hours reduces replacement frequency, making them a practical choice for fixtures in hard-to-reach locations. Licensed electricians, lighting contractors, and maintenance technicians install these as direct drop-in retrofits during re-lamp or renovation work.

These R16 LED bulbs are suited for recessed cans, track lighting, and accent fixtures in residential and light-commercial settings that accept a medium base R16 lamp. The 2700K warm white output is appropriate for living spaces, retail displays, and hospitality environments where incandescent-like ambiance is preferred. The dimmable design is compatible with standard leading-edge and many trailing-edge dimmer switches. Each package contains two bulbs with a maximum overall length of 2.62 inches, allowing installation in fixtures with limited canopy depth. The California Energy Commission exemption status is noted on the package as required.

Installation Notes

Always switch off power at the fixture or circuit breaker before replacing a lamp. Confirm the fixture and dimmer switch are rated for LED loads prior to installation, as some older dimmer controls may require an upgrade for smooth LED dimming performance. Handle bulbs carefully during installation to avoid mechanical stress on the base or envelope. Dispose of replaced incandescent lamps per local waste guidelines.
