GE BR30 LED Grow Light Bulb 9 W 15 PPF 2 Pack

Indoor grow light for flowering plants

This two-pack of GE BR30 LED bulbs delivers a photosynthetic photon flux of 15 micromoles per second. The advanced red spectrum targets the fruiting and flowering stage of herbs, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and fruit trees. Each lamp runs at 9 watts and is rated for up to 25,000 hours of operation. The product was featured in Good Housekeeping's 2024 best grow lights roundup.

Simple E26 retrofit installation

Each bulb fits any standard E26 medium base fixture without rewiring or special gear. Position the lamp about 16 inches above the canopy and run it for roughly 12 hours daily, adjusting for specific crop needs. The BR30 flood shape throws a wide beam, so verify the fixture can handle the heat and that the bulb clears any shade or glass. Over-tightening in a ceramic socket can crack the base.

Check fixture compatibility and plant stage

Confirm the socket is a standard E26 medium base and that the enclosure is rated for a 9-watt LED lamp. The red-heavy spectrum suits fruiting and flowering phases but is not optimised for vegetative growth or seedlings. Ensure you can maintain the suggested 16-inch hanging distance in your grow area. Buyers needing a blue-rich spectrum for early growth or a higher PPF for dense canopies should look elsewhere.
