PAR38 LED Retrofit Lamp with Selectable Wattage, CCT & Beam Angle

The HyLite Lotus Lamp LS-1830 is a commercial PAR38 LED retrofit lamp built for projects that need flexibility without stocking numerous fixed-output lamps. One lamp provides selectable 18W, 25W or 30W output, five selectable color temperatures and three selectable beam angles.

With an E26 medium base, CRI >90, 100–277VAC input and Triac dimming at 120VAC, the LS-1830 is designed for compatible track, recessed, display, retail, hospitality and other directional-lighting applications where light level, color and beam spread may need to be adjusted in the field.

45 PAR38 Configurations in One Lamp

Three wattage settings × five color temperatures × three beam angles = 45 possible combinations. That can reduce SKU complexity while giving installers more control at the job site.

18W / 25W / 30W

Select output based on required light level, mounting height and application.

2700K–5000K

Choose warmer, neutral or cooler light for hospitality, retail, office, healthcare, education and display spaces.

25° / 40° / 60°

Shift from tighter accent lighting to balanced directional light or broader coverage.

Choose PAR38 Output by Lumens, Not Wattage Alone

The LS-1830 provides three selectable output levels. The best setting depends on mounting height, fixture condition, beam angle, desired light level, glare control and the visual task.

Setting Maximum Listed Output Good Starting Point
18W Up to 1,980 lumens Smaller zones, lower-output accent areas and glare-sensitive applications
25W Up to 2,750 lumens Retail, galleries, offices, showrooms and general commercial directional lighting
30W Up to 3,300 lumens Higher-output applications and mounting heights up to 16 feet where appropriate

Important Installation Notes

The LS-1830 is listed for fully enclosed fixtures when current space and thermal requirements are met. HyLite’s current PAR38 guidance notes a minimum enclosed lamp compartment of 6" × 6" × 8.5".

  • Confirm the existing fixture or can provides adequate space and clearance for the PAR38 lamp before installation.
  • Check the condition and orientation of the existing E26 medium-base socket before selecting the retrofit.
  • Verify the application voltage before ordering. The LS-1830 is listed for 100–277VAC input.
  • Triac dimming is listed at 120VAC. Confirm the exact dimmer, input voltage and control configuration before installation.
  • Review mounting height, desired light level and beam spread when selecting between the 18W, 25W and 30W settings.
  • Select the appropriate CCT and beam angle for the space before final installation and adjustment.

Fixture dimensions, socket condition, voltage, dimming system and available clearance can vary from project to project. Use the current HyLite specification sheet and project-specific information when confirming compatibility.

How to Choose Wattage, CCT & Beam Angle

1. Set the Light Output

Select 18W, 25W or 30W based on required lumens, mounting height, fixture condition and the visual task.

2. Choose the CCT

Use warmer settings for atmosphere and hospitality, or neutral-to-cooler settings where visibility and task clarity matter more.

3. Select the Beam

Use 25° for tighter accent lighting, 40° for balanced directional coverage or 60° for broader spread.
