Are there any CFLs in size PAR38 with frosted glass? I looked at Home Depot and Lows, and the only ones in PAR38 have clear glass. (I did find PAR30 CFL with frosted glass.)
PAR38 CLFL with frosted glass

To the best of my recollection:
Indoor reflector floods that size are size R40, and I use some of them (CFLs) with frosted glass
Par38 is a heavy duty glass suitable for outdoor or indoor use. Are you using them for outdoor applications?

It is indoor, and you are right about the heavy duty glass. The only sizes I saw for CFLs at the two places were 30 and 38. But it probably is a 40.
Looking at 1000bulbs.com

that seems to be correct.
The funny thing is that after the messages, I realized that I have been using indoor R40 CFLs outside for over 7 years and I just put an outdoor PAR38 inside. I just got two more PAR38s to put all of the
38s outside and bring the 40s in.Join the Discussion
