APC Pool Light Bulb 500W, 120V, APC120500M, is a 500‑watt, 120‑volt R40 incandescent reflector flood lamp with a medium (E26) screw base, designed as a direct replacement bulb for many standard inground pool light fixtures.
Specs and type
- Wattage/voltage: 500W, 120V.
- Bulb type: Incandescent reflector flood, code R40, typically labeled 500R/FL‑130.
- Base: Medium E26 screw base (standard pool light socket).
- Approx. size: About 6–6.25" overall length with a 4.5–4.75" reflector diameter, sized to fit full‑size niche fixtures.
The lamp is built with a heavy‑duty filament, thicker glass envelope, and an internal heat shield to withstand the heat and pressure of enclosed, underwater pool fixtures.
At 500 watts, this bulb can produce on the order of 4,000–4,800 lumens, giving strong, broad flood illumination for medium‑to‑large pools. As an incandescent lamp, it will draw significantly more power and run hotter than an LED replacement, but offers a familiar warm white color and full output instantly.
