Directional lamps come in many different shapes and beam characteristics, including R (reflector), BR (bulged reflector), PAR (parabolic aluminized reflector), and multifaceted reflector (MR), among other specialized forms. Essentially, BR and R shape bulbs are directional flood lights that are designed to cast a broad beam of light for general ambient lighting, accentuating large objects, wall washing or wall grazing. The beam spread of these lamps is no less than 45° and can be as large as 120°. Compared with PAR and MR lamps of which the optical design is to deliver a high center beam candlepower (CBCP), BR and R lamps tend to have much softer distributions and deliver less punch in their beams.

The reliability and efficiency of BR LED lamps are almost exclusively dependent upon thermal management and driver performance which, however, are often compromised due to the cost constraint and form factor limitation. A line-powered LED driver designed for AC mains applications contains multiple electrical circuits for executing many subtasks such as input power conditioning, AC/DC conversion, power factor correction (PFC), switching mode control, current regulation, dimming control, overvoltage protection, output filtering, etc. LED drivers for use in integrated lamps tend to take a simplified design for the purpose of reducing both cost and volume. The AC/DC converter usually is designed as a single-stage switching mode power supply (SMPS) or even a linear power supply. Low cost LED drivers provide LEDs limited protection from electrical overstresses and fail to deliver to its load a precisely regulated DC output having very small ripples (which is essential for low-flicker lighting).

Your vehicles’ factory stock headlights may be adequate on the paved roads at moderate speeds, especially when there’re streetlights and they happen to be turned on and functional. But if you were thrown in a poorly lit place in the middle of nowhere, or even the weather happens to be a little bad, then you’ll find your factory stock headlight is extremely lacking. Now, what can you do about that? Refit your vehicles with aftermarket LED driving lights. Are These LED Driving Lights Legal? Different states have their own regulations, but running none DOT-approved lights on any road of the road system is illegal everywhere in the US. In some states, simply driving around with refitted LED driving lights uncovered, even if they’re not turned on, does not comply with the regulations, so make sure to check out your own state’s transportation laws. However, aftermarket LED driving lights, regardless of they have been certificated or not, are legal to use off-roading. If you do refit your car with these LED driving lights, remember to only turn them on when you need them, and be polite to turn them off as soon as possible when there’re oncoming drivers. OGA Street-legal LED Driving Light Wholesale The white lights that these OGA street-legal LED driving lights produced are the closest possible imitation of the sunlight, they’re your best choice if you’re an off-road enthusiast and you want your refitted vehicle capable of daily legal use on the paved roads. OGA 3012 street-legal LED driving lights are designed to meet these specific demanding requirements throughout the world. We’re one of the very few automotive LED light manufacturers capable of producing these SAE/DOT compliant work light, if you’re interested in bulk purchase from us, leave us a message. Why choosing OGA Street-legal Series 3” Cube Pod Lights - SAE J581 auxiliary high beam led pods and SAE J583 auxiliary fog beam led pods are available in this series. With the same appearance, off-road wide flood beam lights and off-road hyper spot beam lights are also available. - We use automotive-grade Osram 5W KW LED chips for auxiliary high beam, fog beam and hyper spot beam, and Osram 5W P8 chips for wide flood beam. - We use advanced TIR projector optics (which consist of a refractive lens inside a reflector, capture and redirect more light emitted from an LED than a conventional optic, such as a parabolic reflector) to adopt a more precise beam. We choose the highest grade optical PC material with longer-lasting clarity than PMMA. - Compact design comes with much smaller dimensions, which can be installed in more places. We use durable aluminum alloy housing and with dimensions being small, it’s way lighter than 3” work lights from other brands. Outer hardened flat PC lens is scratch-resistant and they’re able to avoid the accumulation of dirt. A breather valve is added on the back of the 3012 series pod light to make it breathable and expel water vapor, avoiding the moisture issue inside the lens. - Flush mount pods and round mount pods are optional, they can be fitted behind your factory stock grille, inside the bumper, you can even install them in the factory fog light position by using the vehicle-specific brackets.

In low-cost designs, the output circuit is typically not galvanically isolated from the input circuit (connected to the utility power grid). In this case, the lamp housing and any exposed metal contacts should be electrically insulated against electrical shock. However, the use of a plastic housing to provide electrical insulation makes thermal management a great challenge. As the price of LED replacement lamps drops to commodity levels, adequate heat dissipation for the LEDs and driver circuits is often ignored. Poor thermal management can accelerate temperature-related failure mechanisms in LEDs, which leads to a reduced lifespan of LEDs due to lumen degradation and chromatic shift.

BR lamps are an improved version of R lamps in that they deliver light emitted by an incandescent or halogen source more effectively out of a recessed downlight or track luminaire than R lamps. When an R lamp is recessed deeply into a cylindrical luminaire, light at the edge of the beam can strike the inside of the luminaire. The improved version of R lamps has a bulged reflector near the base of the lamp. The extra reflector that has a bulged shape concentrates light at the center of the beam, resulting in less wasted light when the lamp is deeply recessed into luminaires. The BR lamp takes its name from this design. The number symbol in the lamp designation indicates the diameter of the bulb in eighths of an inch. A BR40 lamp has a nominal diameter of 50 eighths of an inch, or 5 inches. A BR30 lamp has a nominal diameter of 30 eighths of an inch, or 3.75 inches. A BR20 lamp has a nominal diameter of 20 eighths of an inch, or 2.5 inches. The BR20 bulbs is often referred to as R20 but it shares the same characteristics of other BR bulb types. BR lamps are commonly fitted to an E26 medium screw base.

The light source used in BR LED bulbs is very often mid-power SMD LED packages which has the highest luminous efficacy among all types of LEDs. COB LEDs which feature excellent beam uniformity are another option. Selection of LEDs should include the careful consideration of the spectral power distribution (SPD), which determines correlated color temperature (CCT) and color rendering ability of light emitted by the LEDs. LEDs are available in a wide choice of color temperatures (e.g., 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4100K, 5000K). The color temperature is offered with a tolerance between a 7-step MacAdam ellipse and a 3-step MacAdam ellipse. The smaller the MacAdam ellipse step, the less color variation. In order for the human visual system to perceive the natural color appearance of the objects around us, light emitted by LEDs must deliver radiant power fairly broadly across the visible spectrum. Quite a number of products have a color rendering index (CRI) of 80, which is considered a barely acceptable value for applications where color is a consideration, including retail, museum and hospitality settings. A CRI Ra of 85 and a R9 of 25 is considered the minimum acceptable value for lighting in these environments.

A BR LED bulb is a replacement lamp for retrofitting light fixtures that were originally fitted with traditional incandescent, halogen, or compact fluorescent lamps. BR LED replacement lamps are generally (but not always) similar in shape, size, light distribution and lumen output to their incandescent, halogen and CFL counterparts. They’re designed as integrated systems that include the LED light source, thermal management system for transporting heat away from the junction of the diodes, and driver circuit for converting the mains AC power to a DC output appropriate for driving the LEDs. The shape of a BR LED lamp is more of an aesthetic choice than a functional necessity because the directional nature of LEDs allow the removal of the large reflector in LED replacement bulbs. BR LED lamps usually have an opal polycarbonate lens which provides diffusion of LED hot spots and protects the LEDs from extrinsic damages.
