well-priced bulbs with warm light A pair of standard-base BR30 led flood bulbs.

The warm light is evenly distributed, and only the bulb's modest weight gives away that it's an LED and not an incandescent. There's no warm-up, no buzz, and no extended fade-out. These 12W bulbs (1200 lumens) are easily brighter than my old 75W incandescents, and have lower power consumption than my first gen (14-15W) BR30 LEDs. The BR is for the shape of the bulb ("bulged reflector"). R30 / BR30 / PAR30 bulbs are all interchangeable, with some minor differences in light distribution.

I love LEDs for their low power usage, the light output that doesn't fade, long life (infrequent replacements), and easy disposal (trash). All of these things make them consistently the best, most useful form of lighting available today. It's quite the major improvement from what was available just a few years ago. In almost all cases, the LED is now also the best priced option, even for bulbs that are not used continuously.

Specialty LED Flood Light Bulbs Par20 Par30 Par38 have come a long way in recent years. These BR30s don't have cooling fins, or unexpected warm-up or fade-out times. The warm light could be easily mistaken for an incandescent, if it wasn't for low power consumption and lack of bulb fade over time. Honeywell isn't a bulb brand in my mind, but they have a long history of consumer electronics, and LEDs are an interesting crossover from lighting into electronics. Only time will tell if these BR30s last as long as expected, but thus far, they are Recommended.
