GE LED PAR38 Motion Sensor Flood Light Bulbs, 15W 2-Pack — Wet‑Rated Outdoor Security, E26 Base

GE LED+ PAR38 15W motion sensor flood light bulbs are weather‑rated, screw‑in security lights that automatically turn on when they detect motion at night.

These GE LED+ motion‑activated PAR38 bulbs deliver bright, energy‑saving illumination for porches, driveways, and backyard spaces without extra wiring or smart hubs. Each bulb fits a standard E26 medium base, uses 15 watts to produce light comparable to a 90‑watt incandescent, and includes a built‑in sensor that activates within about 24 feet and a 90° detection angle. Designed for outdoor use, they are wet‑rated and built to withstand typical weather exposure while reducing energy use and maintenance compared with traditional bulbs.

How quickly do these bulbs respond when someone walks by?

The integrated motion sensor triggers the light instantly when it senses movement at night, providing immediate illumination for safety and convenience. The sensor scans a wide 90° field and reaches approximately 24 feet, so it covers most entry points and walkways without adjustments.

• Instant activation on motion after dusk
• 90° detection arc for broad coverage
• About 24 ft detection range for typical driveways and porches

Will these bulbs work outdoors in rain or cold weather?

Yes — GE rated these PAR38 bulbs for wet locations, so they are suitable for exposed fixtures like porch floods and covered entryways. Their durable construction and LED technology resist moisture and temperature changes better than many standard bulbs.

• Wet‑rated for outdoor fixtures and exposed locations
• Durable LED design for longer service life
• Maintains performance across typical seasonal temperatures

How do I install and temporarily disable the motion sensor?

Installation is as simple as screwing the bulb into any fixture with an E26 medium base and restoring power — no tools, apps, or hubs required. If you want the bulb to act like a regular light temporarily, switch it off and on twice within three seconds; to reactivate motion sensing, turn it off for three seconds.

• Screw into standard E26 base, then turn power on
• No Wi‑Fi, app, or hub needed for operation
• Disable sensor: toggle power off/on twice within three seconds

How much energy and maintenance can I expect to save?

These 15W LEDs deliver bright light similar to a 90W incandescent while using far less electricity, lowering runtime costs and reducing bulb change frequency. GE estimates long life measured in years under typical use, plus energy savings that accumulate over the bulb lifespan compared with traditional halogen or incandescent options.

• Uses 15W while providing 90W equivalent brightness
• Long‑lasting LED reduces replacement frequency
• Estimated energy savings across bulb lifetime

Who is this for? These GE LED+ PAR38 motion sensor bulbs suit homeowners and renters who want straightforward, hands‑free outdoor lighting for security and convenience without rewiring or smart systems. They are ideal for lighting porches, entryways, pathways, garages, and backyard areas where reliable, weather‑ready, energy‑efficient illumination is needed.
