PS30 LED Bulbs
What are the advantages of using PS30 bulbs over other types of lightbulbs?
A PS30 bulb has a pear-shaped structure that is slightly elongated compared to standard A23 bulbs. PS30 bulbs usually have a diameter of 3.75 inches and can be constructed with base sizes that are used with compatible light fixtures sold at HomElectrical.
Medium based light fixtures such as PS30 LED bulbs are usually paired with indoor light fixtures to create general lighting within each space. To accommodate for different light levels, LED PS30 bulbs come in various color temperatures to maximize the efficiency of light within the room.
Are PS30 bulbs dimmable?
Some models of PS30 bulbs come with dimming capabilities for further convenience in light adjustment. The dimming function in most light fixtures is usually created by the utilization of either pulse width modulation or constant current reduction systems:
- PWM, or pulse width modulation uses forward and reverse methods to interrupt the electrical signal between the fixture and its power source. This creates an on and off cycle that operates at the rated current of the LED lamp.
- CCR, or constant current reduction methods allow for constant flow of currents to the LED system. In some cases, this allows for brightness levels to be adjusted by manually changing levels of current flow to the device.
The method used to operate an LED light fixture’s dimming functions will be based on specs listed by the manufacturer. Select models of PS30 LED bulbs will be compatible with dimmable LED fixtures.
How bright are PS30 bulbs?
Standard incandescent PS30 lightbulbs generally come in a range of 24 to 60 watts, which can typically produce from 200 to 900 lumens on average. The amount of lumen output can indicate the brightness levels of the bulb.
The same amount of wattage within incandescent bulbs will produce more light in an LED version. PS30 LED light bulb brands at HomElectrical range from 24-34 watts but can produce up to 5000 lumens due to the omnidirectional placement of light emitting diodes.
Where are PS30 bulbs typically used?
PS30 bulbs can be used within indoor or outdoor light fixtures. Some LED PS30 lightbulbs are suitable for damp locations, meaning that they can be installed in outdoor rated light fixtures are not directly exposed to any type of moisture. Outdoor rated light fixtures that are compatible with LED PS30 lightbulbs are usually placed underneath a type of covering, such as an awning.
What is the lifespan of a PS30 bulb?
Like standard LED A23 light bulbs, PS30 light bulbs can last up to 50000 life hours if used for 10 hours each day. LED technology is designed to be more durable than incandescent lamps which can fail or break during operation due to overheating. By dispersing excess heat within the housing of the light, LED PS30 bulbs avoid any electrical heat stress.
