If you've found your way to this information you are in need of the 85 Watt BR40 light bulbs.  Unfortunately, they are discontinued and no longer available for purchase anywhere.  Learn Why.  We have come up with a suggested list of bulbs for you to consider for replacement.  We're always happy to discuss your needs with you!  Please notice that the bulbs vary in length, width, light output and if it's dimmable or not (CFL bulbs only).  Please take note of these things and consider when making your decision.  We will continue to update this list as better replacement options are available. 

Noted Differences: 

Incandescent Option:  Same exact bulb but light output is quite a bit less.

Halogen Option:  The actual glass of the PAR bulb is an indoor/outdoor glas so it will be harder and rather than a dome on the end the glass will be rippled.  Halogen bulbs do produce more heat than incandescent bulbs but it is at a safe level.  We mention this for your comfort only.  The PAR bulb is 1/4" less in diameter.  This bulb is shorter and you will want to consider adding a socket extender than can be used perminently with this socket to bring the bulb back out to the edge of the can.  Be sure and compare overall lengths here.  Click Here to see the socket extenders.

Compact Fluorescent Options:  Notice one is dimmable and one is non dimmable.  You will get a brighter bulb/more lumens with a non dimmable cfl.  You CAN NOT even use a non dimmable CFL on a circuit with a dimmer switch or the bulb will blow prematurely.  These bulbs are the same width but not the same length.  Please notice the length and see if it will work in your can.
