Purpose and fit

The Satco 500BR40FL/POOL is a 500 W BR40 incandescent flood bulb built for indoor or outdoor fixtures that accept a medium screw base. It delivers 5 500 lm at 2700 K with a CRI of 100 and a 360-degree beam angle. The frosted glass finish diffuses the white light for general illumination. Rated life is 2 000 hours and the lamp is dimmable.

Compatibility check

Verify the fixture uses an E26 medium screw socket and is rated for at least 500 W at 130 V AC. Confirm the housing can accommodate a BR40 envelope and that the fixture is not an enclosed type, as the bulb is not approved for enclosed fixtures. Ensure the circuit and dimmer, if used, support incandescent loads at this wattage.

Who should buy

Suits users needing very high-output incandescent flood lighting with full dimming and excellent colour rendering for indoor or outdoor spaces. Not suited for buyers who require a shatter-resistant envelope, enclosed-fixture rating, three-way switching, rough-service durability, or lower-wattage alternatives.

Questions about this item

Does the Satco 500BR40FL/POOL bulb ship with any mounting hardware or do I need to buy a separate E26 socket?

The bulb has a Medium Screw E26 base that fits standard sockets; no extra hardware is included and no separate purchase is required if your fixture already accepts E26 lamps.

Should I choose the 130 V 500 W version or is there a lower-wattage alternative in this same BR40 shape?

The listed trade number 500BR40FL/POOL identifies a single 500 watt 130 volt BR40 model; no other wattage or voltage variants appear in the specifications.

What does the 5 500 lumen rating mean for actual brightness in a typical recessed can fixture?

At 5 500 lumens the lamp delivers a very high output suitable for large-area flood lighting; the 360-degree beam spreads light widely and the 2 000-hour rated life applies at the rated 130 volts.
