R40 / 12W Chromalux® Full Spectrum LED Reflector

$67.00

Introducing our newest and most exciting addition to the Chromalux® line: bringing the beloved Chromalux® color and clarity to LED, using our patented Neodymium glass!

Available in 3000K* (warm, soothing white) or 4000K (vivid, bright white), with an approximate life of 35,000 hours, these lamps have become a fast favorite and welcome addition to the Chromalux® family!

Perfect for use anywhere you would normally enjoy Chromalux® full spectrum incandescent bulbs, our 3000K color temperature is a direct equivalent to our incandescent lamps in terms of look and feel, but will consume a fraction of the energy!

We love using these beautiful, energy-efficient flood bulbs in kitchens and living rooms! Try 3000K for the living room and 4000K for the kitchen!

Select 3000K color temperature for a bulb with a look and feel most similar to our Classic Chromalux® bulbs. 

Pro-tip: Use this flood LED in overhead recessed fixtures, and our standard incandescent bulbs in table and floor lamps. You'll get a beautiful backdrop of Chromalux® color and all the close-range, nourishing effects from incandescence that's also easy to read by and safe for the eyes!

Please note that specialty Chromalux® LED bulbs are non-dimmable, use in any circuit equipped with a dimmer (even at full brightness) may cause bulb flicker and premature failure.

    About Chromalux®

    About Chromalux® full spectrum lamp, the original light bulb for health and wellness since 1959:

    🌈 incredible color balance and acuity

    ☀️ balanced, full spectrum light

    😀 natural mood booster

    👁 zero eye strain or glare

    The ultimate light bulb for your health and well-being! Chromalux® full spectrum lamp has been enhancing people's lives and the spaces they live in since it was first created in Finland over 60 years ago. 

    The Chromalux® full spectrum bulb creates a soothing yet vibrant interior space that you'll love to live, work, and play in. 

    All Chromalux®  light bulbs contain neodymium glass which filters out yellow and other dulling frequencies of the light spectrum, resulting in filtered light with enhanced violet, blue, green, and red tones. The result is an environment that comes to life: colors are more vibrant, textures enhanced, and contrast increased. 

    Benefits

    Many of the benefits of Chromalux® lie in our signature neodymium glass, which purifies light to provide the ultimate soft, crisp, and pure natural light that helps you see better and makes you feel better, all while providing your body with the pure, full spectrum of visible (and non-visible light) it requires.  

    Feel Better: Well-being all year round

    Chromalux® provides your body with the pure full spectrum light it was designed to receive by closely mimicking nature's sunlight.

    Just like the quality of food we ingest, the quality of light we use can make a difference in our overall well-being and vitality. 

    Chromalux® bulbs contain more of the soothing red spectrum with no artificial peaks in the visible light spectrum, which is consistent with natural daylight, and unlike most types of lighting available today.

    See Better: Eye Health, Visual Comfort+Acuity

    Chromalux® bulbs are naturally low in flicker, but the real difference is seen through its signature neodymium glass, which filters glare and creates better contrast and definition between colors, tones, and textures, to finally allow your eyes to relax and see clearer. Thanks to these inherent chromatic balance and color discriminating qualities, Chromalux® has been a top recommendation for the low vision population since the 1980s, and has been shown to enhance visual acuity. 

    Enhanced Environments: Pure+Vivid Colors

    Chromalux® is the original neodymium glass light bulb, which works by purifying the visible light spectrum - removing glare and dulling frequencies - while strengthening violet, red, blue, and green values. As a result, light is filtered, cutting glare and revealing the most beautiful crisp and vivid colors.

    The Chromalux® light bulb brings the beautifully enhanced colors, texture, and contrast inherently present under natural sunlight, back into the home. 

    Under Chromalux® light, you'll notice colors, textures, and tones become more vibrant and your home more alive: very much like photoshop for real life!

    Our Magic Element

    Without ever turning it on, the most noticable quality of a Chromalux® light bulb is its lovely lavender glass. Responsible for this lovely tint and pure light output of Chromalux® is the element neodymium.

    A stunning lavender or blue in appearance, neodymium is an earth element that possesses some unique color enhancing and purification qualities.

    Neodymium acts as a filter - absorbing dulling components of the visible light spectrum - like yellow - to purify your environment and naturally enhance colors and textures.

    When used in Chromalux® light bulbs, these color enhancing and purification qualities are simply stunning.

    FAQ

    Are these dimmable?

    Yes!

    What is the difference between reflector (R) flood bulbs and PAR bulbs?

    While both are perfect for use in either recessed can or track lighting, the light beam of flood type light bulbs (R style light bulbs) have a less defined edge than a comparable PAR light bulb.

    Flood bulbs are great for general illumination and covering large areas with light.

    PAR bulbs are more like spot lights, with a defined and focused beam of light.

    How do I know which size flood bulb I need?

    Measure your current bulb's diameter and length from base to top, then select our bulb that is closest in size (scroll up to find a bulb's size under the tab entitled "specs"). Most BR30 bulbs and BR40 bulbs are comparable to our R30 and R40 bulbs, respectively.

    If you don't have an existing bulb, measure the diameter of your recessed fixtures.

    Usually, 4 or 5'' diameter = R30/PAR30, and 6'' diameter = R40/PAR38

    Pro tip: if any bulb is a bit shorter in length than the depth of your fixture, you can use something called an E26 socket extender to add an inch or so of length to your bulb and to drop it more flush with your fixture opening.
