G E Lighting 46979 Led BR40 Bulb 11.5W 2700K Dimmable 3-pack

Product Description

The G E LIGHTING 46979 is a 3-pack of 11.5-watt LED BR40 flood lamps with a frosted plastic lens and medium (E26) base. Each bulb delivers 950 lumens with a soft white color temperature of 2700 Kelvins and a Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 90, producing warm, accurate light suitable for recessed fixtures and track lighting. At 11.5 watts, each lamp replaces a standard 65-watt incandescent, providing significant energy reduction without sacrificing output. The bulbs are fully dimmable and carry a rated lamp life of 10,000 hours. Overall length (MOL) is 6.34 inches. Electricians and lighting contractors install these in residential and light commercial applications.

These BR40 lamps are suited for standard recessed can fixtures, open-face track heads, and surface-mounted downlight housings that accept a medium base. The wide flood beam pattern of the BR40 profile makes these appropriate for living spaces, kitchens, retail display, and hospitality environments where warm, dimmable ambient light is required. The frosted plastic envelope diffuses the source and reduces glare. Sold as a 3-pack (model LED11DBR409CSBL3), making them practical for multi-fixture installations or lamp stock replenishment.

Installation Notes

Installation of LED replacement lamps is within the scope of licensed electricians and qualified lighting technicians, though many jurisdictions allow homeowner replacement of screw-base lamps in existing fixtures. Always switch the circuit off at the wall before handling lamps in ceiling cans or track heads. Confirm the existing dimmer is rated for LED loads — older incandescent-only dimmers may cause flicker or reduced dimming range. NEC Article 410 governs luminaire and lamp installation requirements where applicable.
