GE LED-BR40 93311899 LED12DBR40/950 – 12W BR40 LED Reflector Lamp | 1050 Lumens | 5000K | 90 CRI | E26 Base | Dimmable | 65W Incandescent Replacement

The GE LED-BR40 93311899 LED12DBR40/950 is a 12W BR40 LED reflector lamp on a standard E26 medium base, producing 1050 initial lumens at 5000K daylight with a 90 CRI. Current rates it as a 65W incandescent replacement at 88 lumens per watt. It dims smoothly from 100% down to 10%, carries a damp location rating, and is rated for 15,000 hours to L70. The lamp has a frosted lens and white body, is CEC Title 20 compliant, and contains no lead or mercury.

Technical Specifications

Product Overview

Current offers GE LED reflector lamps for recessed can and downlighting applications across the restaurant, hospitality, and property management sectors. The BR40 is the largest of the three shapes in the range, sized for 5 and 6 inch recessed cans where a wide, even wash is wanted rather than a tight beam. At 1050 lumens it is rated by Current as a 65W incandescent replacement while drawing 12 watts.

The 90 CRI rating is what separates this lamp from a commodity BR40. Ninety CRI renders skin tones, food, and merchandise close to how they appear under an incandescent source, which is why this tier is specified for restaurant dining rooms, hotel lobbies, and retail rather than back-of-house. Dimming runs the full range from 100% down to 10%, so the lamp works in spaces where light levels change through the day.

Rated life is 15,000 hours to L70, the point at which the lamp still delivers 70% of its initial output. It is damp rated for use in bathrooms, covered exterior soffits, and similar partially protected locations, and is rated for ambient temperatures from -20 °C to 40 °C. The lamp is CEC Title 20 compliant, which matters for projects in California, and contains no lead or mercury. Current backs it with a 3-year limited warranty. All values are design or typical values measured under laboratory conditions.

Compatible Applications

• Recessed can downlights in 5 in. and 6 in. housings accepting BR40 lamps
• Restaurant dining rooms and bars, where 90 CRI renders food and finishes accurately
• Hotel lobbies, corridors, and guest rooms
• Retail and merchandise display downlighting
• Property management and multifamily common areas
• Residential kitchens, living areas, and hallways
• Damp locations including bathrooms and covered exterior soffits
• Dimmed circuits requiring smooth control from full output down to 10%
• Direct replacement for 65W incandescent BR40 flood lamps
• California projects requiring CEC Title 20 compliant lamps

Before Ordering – Verify

• Confirm the color temperature. This lamp is 5000K. The BR40 is offered in 2700K, 3000K, and 5000K as fixed-CCT versions, and mixing color temperatures in one room is the most common ordering error in this category.
• Confirm the fixture accepts a BR40 with a 6.4 in. maximum overall length. BR30 is a smaller lamp at 5.4 in. and is not interchangeable in a can sized for BR40.
• Confirm dimmer compatibility. The lamp dims from 100% to 10%, but performance depends on the specific dimmer. Test in the actual circuit before a full rollout.
• Confirm the lampholder is E26 medium and the supply is 120V.
• Confirm the location is dry or damp; this lamp is not rated for wet locations.
• Confirm the ambient stays within -20 °C to 40 °C.
• If a selectable color temperature is preferred over a fixed CCT, the SpectraChoice version (order code 93318871, LED12DBR40/9SC) covers 2700K through 5000K with a built-in switch and is also rated for enclosed fixtures.
• Note that this fixed-CCT version is not listed by Current as rated for enclosed fixtures; the SpectraChoice version is.
• Carton quantity is 6, which is also the manufacturer minimum order quantity.

Safety and Handling Guidelines

• Switch off the circuit before installing or replacing the lamp.
• Allow the outgoing lamp to cool before removal, particularly when replacing an incandescent BR40.
• Handle the lamp by the body rather than the lens, and seat it fully in the socket without overtightening.
• Do not install in an enclosed fixture unless the fixture is confirmed suitable, since trapped heat shortens LED and driver life.
• Do not use with a dimmer that has not been confirmed compatible; incompatible dimming can cause flicker, audible noise, or premature failure.
• Do not operate outside the -20 °C to 40 °C ambient rating.
• Do not use where directly exposed to water or in wet locations.
• The lamp contains no mercury and is not hazardous waste, but should be recycled where LED recycling is available.
• Installation should follow all applicable national and local electrical codes.
