A large broad-reflector format used in spacious recessed fixtures and high-output flood applications.
BR40 is nominally 40 eighths of an inch—5 inches—in diameter and is visibly larger than BR30.
Large recessed cans, high ceilings, retail floors, auditoriums, workshops and utility spaces.
BR40 lamps exist in several technologies and output ranges, usually with medium screw bases.
Technologies represented in this library: LED, Incandescent, Halogen, Fluorescent.
Available base types: E26, E27.
| Technology | Common wattage range | Typical lumen range | Common colour temperatures | Common voltage options |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LED | 12–25 W | 1000–2500 lm | 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, 5000K, 6500K | 120V; 220–240V |
| INCANDESCENT | 65–150 W | 700–2000 lm | Approximately 2700K | 120V; 220–240V |
| HALOGEN | 70–120 W | 1000–1800 lm | Approximately 2800K–3000K | 120V; 220–240V |
| FLUORESCENT | 23–32 W | 1200–1800 lm | 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4100K | 120V; 220–240V |
These are representative market ranges, not guaranteed limits. Availability varies by manufacturer, voltage, base, beam, region and product generation.
Confirm the five-inch envelope and overall length fit the trim and housing before comparing light output, beam and colour.
A shared E26 or E27 base does not mean a BR40 will fit a fixture designed for BR30.
Important: The library describes a lamp format, not a particular product. A shared shape does not guarantee matching voltage, base, dimensions, light distribution or control-gear requirements. Confirm the fixture label and product datasheet, or ask a Bulb World lighting specialist.
