Philips 5-Colour LED PAR38 Bulb
Replace outdoor and security light bulbs with this five-colour weatherproof LED PAR38 globe from Philips. A built-in switch on the bulb lets you pick your preferred shade of white light, from a Warm White 2700K to Daylight 6500K.
These lights are commonly used in outdoor sensor lights, security spotlights, gardens, shops, and accent lighting. They are easy to install yourself: simply unscrew your old power-hungry PAR38 globe and screw in this energy-efficient LED replacement.
It fits into any standard Edison Screw (E27) light socket and PAR38 spotlight shape fittings (12cm wide).
Weatherproof & Versatile
Unlike standard indoor bulbs, this Philips PAR38 features an IP65 outdoor rating. It is dust-tight and weatherproof, making it suited for outdoor fittings. In addition, it offers:
- 90% Energy Savings: Replaces an old 120W halogen PAR38 globe while drawing only 12W of power.
- 5 Colour Temperatures in 1: Select between 2700K, 3000K, 4000K, 5000K, or 6500K via the toggle switch on the light bulb.
- Wide Beam: Features a 100° beam angle to spread light evenly over driveways, paths, and other outdoor areas.
- Better Light Quality: Designed with Philips' EyeComfort technology for low glare and flicker-free operation.
Select your preferred colour temperature at the base of the light.
