How to choose Vinaco PAR Flood Bulbs
Read the number as eighths of an inch
PAR20 is 20 eighths, or 2.5 in across. PAR30 is 3.75 in and PAR38 is 4.75 in. The face should fill the can.
Measure the neck on a PAR30
A short neck is 3.6 in tall and a long neck 4.72 in. The wrong one sits too deep or sticks out.
Mind the wattage limit
Cans and hoods print a top wattage inside. A 100W flood in a 75W can overheats the housing.
