    No because that is what it PAR38 and PAR30 mean. They are a lighting term. The letters represent the shape of the "bulb" and the numbers represent the maximum diameter (either in 1/8 of an inch or in millimeters depending on the shape and the region).

    It has nothing to do with amount of diodes, it just so happens they stick less in a PAR38 then a PAR30 ;)

    Its the PAR38 bulb that has more LEDs not the PAR30. A PAR38 is larger so more diodes can fit. 7 would be pretty tight in a PAR30.
