It was a good thing when flood
lights were developed with an extra long life, up to 10,000 hours average rated
life! People have always wanted light bulbs to last longer and not have to
change them so often, that's why we offer R40 long life flood light bulbs as a
part of our product offering. Common to almost every type of lighting application has
been the flood light bulbs that you buy for recessed or track lighting. These
are the R40 size bulbs which you might be familiar with, the ones you've
probably bought for years in hardware stores and are 5 inches inches across the
face. They fit in almost any 6
inch recessed light fixture, but one of the most common places that it's used
are in recessed lighting for homes or track lighting for retail stores. If you have this kind of lamp
in a retail situation,
you may want to consider using a PAR halogen to replace it. The light will
be more intense and crisp while saving energy. In that case, it's really about
the highlighting your products for more sales. It has a standard medium base and
screws into sockets that are made for all kinds of US lighting. The R40
flood lights come in 68, 90, 100, 120, 150 or 250 watts referenced as
68BR40, 90BR40, 100BR40 or 150BR40. We even carry these in a long life 250
watt version which many people have been looking for in high lighting
applications that are hard to reach.
Incandescent lamps are the type that were developed earliest of any of the other
kinds and these progressed into what we know as R40 long life flood light bulbs.
It's a long history with this lamp and most of the improvements
have come with longer life versions of these lamps. The long life bulbs are the same physical size
as other flood lamps but have multiple filament supports that protect
against vibration and rough use. In fact, these are sometimes called rough
service or vibration service bulbs. If you're a commercial user, then R40 long life light bulbs would be a great choice for many of the applications you
have today. Large commercial buildings are still a major user of this lamp
where the labor to change out bulbs can get quite expensive. The savings
in this case can be quite extensive resulting in a quick payback on the higher
cost of these bulbs. If you have
incandescent lamps anywhere in your building, they can be susceptible to
vibration of slamming doors or machines being turned on and off. These are also great lamps to be used
in industrial situations on machines or in areas where manufacturing is going
on. For people who want to save
energy while getting longer life, the R40 compact fluorescent would be a good
way to go. You can get a similar amount of light while reducing your
electrical consumption by 75%. Many times there are utility rebates which
can help with the total cost, but even without the rebates, energy savings make
it a quick payback.
