These are representative market ranges, not guaranteed limits. Availability varies by manufacturer, voltage, base, beam, region and product generation.

How to select the correct lamp

Confirm fixture diameter, depth, base and voltage before choosing lumens, beam, colour temperature and dimming capability.

Compatibility and safety

R30, BR30 and PAR30 have similar nominal diameters but different envelope construction and light distribution.

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.

Replacement Notes

Confirm fixture diameter, depth, base and voltage before choosing lumens, beam, colour temperature and dimming capability.

Capability Warning

R30, BR30 and PAR30 have similar nominal diameters but different envelope construction and light distribution.
