PAR LED Lights has expanded its commercial LED retrofit portfolio with the HyLite LED Lotus Lamp LS-1830, a PAR38 LED lamp that allows users to select from 45 different lighting configurations in a single product. The lamp is designed for track lighting, recessed downlights, and other directional commercial applications, and it aims to simplify lighting selection and inventory management for businesses.
Unlike traditional PAR38 lamps that require choosing a specific wattage, color temperature, and beam pattern at the time of purchase, the LS-1830 integrates three wattage settings, five color temperatures, and three beam angles. Users can select 18W, 25W, or 30W operation, producing between 1,980 and 3,300 lumens. Available color temperatures include 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, and 5000K, while beam angles of 25°, 40°, and 60° allow the light to be adjusted from concentrated accent illumination to broader general coverage.
This flexibility is particularly valuable in commercial environments where lighting needs vary across a building or between installations. Retail stores may need a tighter beam to highlight merchandise, while restaurants, hotels, and offices often require wider coverage. Galleries and showrooms can benefit from the lamp’s CRI above 90, which is intended to provide more accurate color appearance for artwork, merchandise, finishes, and displays.
The LS-1830 uses a standard E26 medium screw base and measures approximately 4.75 inches in diameter, making it suitable for many existing PAR38 applications. It operates on 100–277VAC universal input voltage and is designed to run directly from line voltage after any existing ballast is properly bypassed or removed. Typical applications include track lighting, recessed downlights and can lights, retail stores, art galleries and museums, hotels and hospitality spaces, restaurants, commercial showrooms, offices and 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.
For lighting professionals and facility managers, one of the biggest advantages of the new PAR38 lamp is inventory simplification. Rather than buying separate lamps for different wattages, color temperatures, and beam spreads, the LS-1830 lets users select those settings from a single product. With three wattages, five color temperatures, and three beam angles, one lamp can be configured 45 different ways.
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.
