Colour Temperature

Colour temperature is measured in Kelvin (K) – the lower the number, the warmer the white light appears, while a higher Kelvin will appear cooler. Colour temperature generally ranges from 2700-3300K (warm) to 3300-5300 (cool) – and 6500K is daylight.

Equivalent Wattages Between Different Light Bulbs

As long as the technology developed, a LED light bulb can only use 8 watt power but light up similar brightness when a incandescent light bulb uses 60 watt power. There is equivalent wattage between different light bulbs. To stop making confuse, you need to know what wattage equivalent to each other. See the table attached as below.

This Philips PAR38 blue incandescent reflector light bulb provides coloured illumination for compatible decorative displays, entertainment areas and landscape feature lighting. Its blue front lens and reflector body create a blue floodlight effect, with a 30-degree beam angle for directing light onto selected features.

This lamp is rated 80W with an E27 Edison screw cap, 220–240V operation and a 2,000-hour rated average life. Check your fitting's voltage requirements, full 80W incandescent load rating and clearance for the 123mm diameter and 137mm length. Outdoor use requires a suitable watertight lampholder and a heat-resistant rubber flange between the lamp and holder, following the fitting manufacturer's instructions. Outdoor suitability does not make an unsuitable holder or complete installation weatherproof.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this Philips blue PAR38 80W bulb be dimmed?

The existing specifications identify this bulb as dimmable. Use a dimmer suitable for incandescent lamps and check its minimum and maximum connected load. This is an actual 80W incandescent lamp, not an 80W-equivalent LED, so include the full wattage of every bulb on the control. Compatibility with every dimmer or LED-only control is not guaranteed.

Will this blue PAR38 bulb suit my outdoor floodlight?

Check for an E27 socket, compatibility with the packaging-marked 220–240V lamp, an incandescent load rating of at least 80W and clearance for the listed 123 x 137mm dimensions. Outdoor use requires a suitable watertight lampholder and a heat-resistant rubber flange between lamp and holder, following fitting instructions. The outdoor-use label does not make an unsuitable installation weatherproof. Switch off power and allow the lamp to cool before replacement.

Is this a blue feature lamp or a warm white general-lighting bulb?

This is a blue incandescent reflector lamp for coloured feature lighting, not a warm white general-lighting bulb or an LED. The packaging states a 30-degree flood beam and a 2,000-hour rated average life. The previous 2700K white-light specification has been removed because it does not describe the blue output. The existing 460lm value is not independently confirmed by the supplied packaging images.

Packaged correctly

OK, its a globe. Switch it on, it lights up. Switch it off it goes dark.
The difference purchasing it from Double Bay Hardware makes is that the 2 I ordered were packaged as filament globes should be, lots of shock absorbing bubble wrap and clear labeling that the are fragile!

Not quite 5 star

I was happy with the delivery time & communications but very disappointed to open the box & find the rubber weather shield/collar missing.? So now I can’t use it outside.
