I'm looking for an LED bulb that will screw into existing outdoor fixtures. I'd like the light not too look too white or too blue. I'd really like it to look like an incandescent bulb would. It will be replacing 1900 lumens incan bulbs. It doesn't have to be exactly that lumens output, just something similar so I won't notice a drop in lighting. Its just replacing those standard outdoor incan floodlights you can buy at Walmart or Lowes. I'm having trouble locating such a bulb for a reasonable price. Either they're too low lumens, or they cast white light, or they aren't for use outdoors.

Anyone know where I can this bulb?

Ok, 1900 lumen incan?? Are you sure? What bulb size is that? Doesn't sound like a standard fixture bulb??

Anyways. I changed all 8 of mine from regular 120 watt incans, to 1400 or so lumen Warm White Sylvania. They are not as warm as incans, but they do look great to ME. I got all of mine from Home Depot. Took me driving to 3 different ones to get all 8. But I got them. I wanted them to match.

When it comes to 1900 lumens incans, I was just going off the box I saw at home depot. Same type of bulb I had, so I assumed I needed close to a 1900 lumens LED to get the same light output. Maybe I'll try home depot instead of lowes. They're still expensive, too. I figured after all this time LED's would have gone down, but not really.

If you are looking for a low cost LED bulb with a high lumen output, there are few options. But did manage to find these:


Polaroid PLPAR38W-120.1600.23.7D 23 Watt - PAR38, rated for wet locations


1600 lumens (120W Equivalent Flood) - 2700K Warm White, 26 dollars


PLT 101117 19-watt Dimmable LED - 19 Watt - PAR38, rated for outdoor use

120W Equal - 2700K Warm White, 26 dollars


Something else possibly to be considered is that the color of light from an outdoor halogen flood bulb is typically 2900K.


Another option is you waned to spend more money is the Ecosmart 24 Watt bright White (3000K), 40 dollars

If you have a Menards near you, KILLER deal for Sylvania par 38. 20 W for a markdown price of $5.34. And that is a high CRI bulb! https://www.menards.com/main/p-1444431958768-c-7482.htm?tid=-8709662500090934783
If you don't have a Menards locally or your local store doesn't have stock, Just hit the green link at bottom right of screen (on web link) that says, "CHECK ANOTHER STORE FOR AVAILABILITY".

They will ship to you!
