GE Lighting PAR38 LED Lamp
This GE Lighting PAR38 LED lamp replaces 120W incandescent bulbs with an 18W LED source. It delivers 1700 lumens at 4000K cool white through an E26 medium screw base. The reflector design produces a 40-degree flood beam for focused illumination. Rated life reaches 25000 hours with a CRI of 81.0.
Suits directional flood needs, not omnidirectional
Homeowners needing a dimmable flood lamp for track or recessed fixtures will find the 40-degree beam and 1700-lumen output effective. The 4000K colour temperature suits task lighting in kitchens or workspaces. Buyers requiring omnidirectional light for table lamps or fixtures needing a wider spread should consider other bulb shapes.
40-degree beam angle defines the spread
The 40-degree beam angle concentrates light into a defined flood pattern rather than a wide wash. This specification determines whether the lamp highlights a specific area or fills a broader space. Verify the beam angle matches the fixture spacing and the desired lighting effect before purchase.

Questions about this item
Does my fixture need an E26 medium screw base for this PAR38 lamp?
Yes, the lamp uses a standard E26 medium screw base that fits most household fixtures designed for PAR38 bulbs.
Can I use this 18 W LED alongside my older 120 W incandescent lamps on the same dimmer?
It draws only 18 W compared with 120 W incandescent equivalents, so total circuit load drops sharply; verify your dimmer’s minimum load rating for LED compatibility.
How do I confirm the lamp is delivering its rated 1700 lumens at 4000 K after installation?
Measure illuminance at a known distance with a calibrated light meter; the reading should match the 1700 lm, 40° flood specification for a 4000 K cool white output.
