PAR LED Lights has expanded its commercial LED retrofit portfolio with the HyLite LED Lotus Lamp LS-1830, a PAR38 LED lamp that can be configured in 45 different ways, the company announced. The lamp is designed for track lighting, recessed downlights, and other directional commercial-lighting applications, and its flexibility could significantly simplify lighting inventory and installation for businesses.
Unlike conventional PAR38 lamps that require selecting a specific wattage, color temperature, and beam pattern before installation, the LS-1830 combines 45 possible lighting configurations in one lamp. Users can choose from three wattage settings (18W, 25W, and 30W), five color temperatures (2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, and 5000K), and three beam angles (25°, 40°, and 60°). This means a single product can meet a wide range of lighting needs, from warm ambient illumination to daylight-style commercial lighting, and from concentrated accent lighting to broader general coverage.
The implications for commercial environments are substantial. Retail stores may require a tighter beam to highlight merchandise, while restaurants, hotels, and offices may need wider coverage. Galleries and showrooms can benefit from the lamp's CRI above 90, which provides more accurate color appearance for artwork, merchandise, finishes, and displays. By offering such versatility, the LS-1830 reduces the need to stock multiple lamp types, simplifying inventory management for lighting professionals and facility managers.
Designed to fit existing PAR38 applications, the LS-1830 uses a standard E26 medium screw base and measures approximately 4.75 inches in diameter. It operates on 100–277VAC universal input voltage and is designed to run directly from line voltage after properly bypassing or removing any existing ballast. Typical applications include track lighting, recessed downlights, retail stores, art galleries, hotels, restaurants, commercial showrooms, offices, schools, healthcare facilities, and accent and display lighting. The product is also designed for horizontal or vertical socket orientations and for use in enclosed fixtures, provided minimum space and thermal-management requirements are met.
At up to 110 lumens per watt, the LS-1830 is designed to replace substantially higher-wattage incandescent, halogen, and other legacy light sources. HyLite lists the lamp as an approximate 180W–300W halogen replacement and states energy savings of up to 90% in qualifying replacement applications. Actual savings will depend on the lamp being replaced, operating hours, and installation conditions. The lamp has a published rated life of approximately 50,000 to 60,000 hours, depending on ambient operating conditions, which can reduce relamping frequency in hard-to-reach recessed fixtures, high ceilings, and commercial track-lighting installations. It also comes with a five-year manufacturer warranty.
Additional features include IP54 protection, 4kV surge protection, intelligent temperature control, a proprietary heat-sink design, and an optical-grade, UV-protected lens. The lamp is also listed as 98% recyclable and contains no lead or mercury.
PAR LED Lights plans to position the new PAR38 option alongside its existing PAR56 and PAR64 LED retrofit solutions, giving customers a broader range of choices for upgrading existing directional and PAR lighting systems.
