GE BR30 Full Spectrum Grow Light Bulb
by GE
The GE BR30 grow light is a 9W LED bulb in a standard BR30 flood format with an E26 base, making it a drop-in replacement for any existing track or recessed fixture. Its balanced full spectrum produces 16 PPF (micromoles per second) of photosynthetically active radiation while appearing as a pleasing neutral white light to the human eye — no purple glow. Rated for 25,000 hours and recommended for placement 6–9 inches from plant foliage.

What We Love
- Fits any standard E26/BR30 socket — no special fixture needed
- Natural white light blends into home décor
- 25,000-hour lifespan for long-term value
- Low heat output at only 9W
Worth Knowing
- 16 PPF is relatively low — only adequate for low-light tolerant plants
- Not dimmable in most fixtures
"The GE BR30 is a practical solution for supplementing light to houseplants in existing recessed fixtures or track lighting — no separate grow light setup required. That said, with only 16 PPF, it won't rescue a light-starved fiddle leaf fig or support flowering; it's genuinely useful for maintaining low-to-medium light plants like pothos, snake plants, and ferns. Pair two bulbs over a plant shelf for meaningful results."
