Larson Electronics’ Magnalight.com announced the addition of two new LED bulbs, including a dimmable 30-watt PAR38 LED bulb and PAR46 LED bulb.
The 30-watt LED bulb (LED30W-PAR38) is available in warm white, 6000K bright white, red, blue, green, amber, 850nm infrared and 940nm infrared. The 40-watt LED bulb (LED40W-PAR46) is available in 6000K bright white or in the same selection of colors at 12 watts.
According to the company, the dimmable 30-watt PAR 38 LED bulb can replace any standard PAR 38 incandescent bulb, which are popular as outdoor floodlights, theater lighting and general area lighting in commercial and residential applications. Available in 120/240 Volts AC or 12/24 volts DC, the LED30W-PAR38 produces as much usable illumination as a 150-watt incandescent PAR 38 while only drawing 1/5th of the current, Magnalight.com said.
The 6-in. PAR 46 LED bulb is commonly used in handheld spotlights, car headlights, unity post mount spotlights, aircraft landing lights and all types of commercial trucking and heavy equipment. The LED40W-PAR46 produces more light at distance than a standard 100-watt incandescent PAR 46 and draws less than 4 amps, compared to the nearly 9 amps drawn by a 100-watt PAR 46 on 12 volts, according to the maker.
“Both the PAR 38 LED bulb and the PAR 46 LED bulb are dimmable via PWM (pulse width modulation) or variable voltage,” said Rob Bresnahan, with Larson Electronics’ magnalight.com. “We produce both bulbs to run on 120/240 Volts AC or 12/24 volts DC and offer a wide range of colors, including infrared 850nm and 940nm. We don’t use filters with our LEDs, instead we use the appropriate color chip in the bulb to maximize the light output. Instead of using diffusing filters to create a flood pattern, we produce different optics to control the beam spread. By doing so, the Magnalight LED bulbs optimize the light output and provide a strong alternative to incandescent PAR lamps”
