Sylvania R20 Dimmable, 120V, E26 (Medium Base) Light Bulbs: Replacements for 35W Equivalent Incandescent and Halogen Bulbs
LED R20 bulbs are a type of flood light bulb that has a reflective coating on the inside of the bulb. They are more efficient than traditional incandescent and halogen bulbs because they used less energy and are brighter. These bulbs are rated to last up to 11,000 hours and are environmentally preferred because they do not contain mercury, lead, or other hazardous materials. These reflector lamps are also RoHS compliant and emit no UV or IR radiation making them safe. These bulbs are also available in five different color temperatures to give multiple options to set the atmosphere in whatever application they are used in. Common applications include for general or ambient lighting, track lighting, and wall washing. These lamps are also used for both residential and commercial purposes. Commercial purposes include art galleries, hospitality, museums, offices, restaurants, and retail spaces. In addition to LED R20 bulbs having a long lifespan and being more efficient than haolgen and incandescent bulbs, they also product less heat. With all of these advantages, LED R20 bulbs are a great choice for your home or business.
There are a few application notes when using these LED R20 bulbs. They should not be used with emergency light fixtures or exit lights. They are for use in open fixtures. The R20 bulbs are suitable for outdoor use in UL rated fixtures that are protected from the weather as these bulbs are damp location rated. These bulbs are also dimmable down to 10%. See the compatible dimmer list on Sylvania's website. These bulbs are lightweight with a smooth heat sink design and no warm-up time.

What does R20 mean on a light bulb?
The R stands for reflector. The 20 indicates the bulb's diameter in 1/8 of an inch.
Can you use PAR20 instead of R20?
PAR20 and R20 are two different types of LED bulbs, and while they may look similar, they are not interchangeable. PAR stands for parabolic aluminized reflector while R simply stands for reflector. PAR20 bulbs are designed for use in recessed downlights where focused light is needed, while R20 bulbs are designed to replace traditional incandescent bulbs for general or ambient lighting as well as where diffused light is needed. In addition to their varying applications, PAR20 and R20 bulbs have different wattages, sizes and shapes as well and cannot be used interchangeably.
What's the difference between BR20 and R20 bulbs?
PAR20 bulbs and R20 bulbs are not the same as BR20 and R20 bulbs are not the same as well. BR stands for bulged reflector and is often used for recessed downlights. BR20 bulbs have a wider beam angle than R20 bulbs.
