Downlight/Directional Type

Directional bulbs are perfect for recessed cans or any place where a directional light source is desired. Their 180 Degree and below beam cut off is perfect for this application as no light is wasted. As a result, they can out-perform their omni-directional cousins with less lumens/power consumption.

This greater efficiency however is sacrified when they are used in a table lamp or floor lamp that takes advantage of an Omni-Directional beam.

Omni-Directional LED are a recent innovation. For the first time these bulbs allow for the replacement of incandescent lamps with a similar if not identical beam pattern. Omni-Directional LED Bulbs are perfect for table lamps utilizing a lamp shade. They are however not as effective as directional LED when installed in recessed cans.
