Soraa PAR Lamps

About

PAR Size Quick-Selection Guide Soraa PAR LED lamps are the workhorses of directional accent lighting, made as the Soraa PAR20, Soraa PAR30S short-neck, Soraa PAR30L long-neck, and Soraa PAR38, all on a medium base E26 at 120V. Every size is a high-CRI PAR LED and a direct halogen replacement, which means one screw-in family can cover a job from small-space retail lighting to an outdoor flood, with no transformer to specify or maintain. Start by picking the size for the fixture it drops into: Size Diameter Best fit PAR20 2.5 in Track heads, display cases, small recessed cans PAR30S 3.75 in 4-5 in recessed cans and tight housings (short neck) PAR30L 3.75 in Deeper cans and landscape fixtures (long neck) PAR38 4.75 in High-output wide-area accent, landscape, retail flood, signage PAR30 Short Neck vs. Long Neck The neck length matters as much as the diameter. A PAR30S and PAR30L share the same 3.75-inch face, but the short-neck seats in a shallow housing while the long-neck reaches down into a deeper can, so measuring the recess before ordering keeps the lamp flush and the beam clean. Where Soraa PAR Lamps Work Retail, Hospitality, and Home Uses PAR lamps go almost anywhere a fixture points light in one direction. In retail, PAR30 and PAR38 heads light displays, endcaps, and signage from track or recessed cans. In hospitality, they wash walls and pick out features in lobbies and dining rooms. In homes, PAR20 and PAR30 handle kitchen, hallway, and accent downlights. Offices and lobbies use PAR30 in downlights for even, comfortable light, while museums use narrow-beam PAR for object accents where a screw-in lamp is preferred over low-voltage wiring. Outdoor and Landscape PAR Lighting Outdoors, a PAR38 in a covered or damp-rated fixture floods entries, facades, and landscape features, and because it screws into a standard 120V socket, there is no transformer to fail in the weather. Galleries and showrooms lean on VIVID PAR for accurate color on art and merchandise, while g
