LED experts?
Can someone please explain to me the difference between Boost LED Par30 bulbs compared with regular par 30 bulbs found on Amazon or the likes. There is about a $100 price difference between Boost LED and generic brands. Thanks!

I am not sure what PAR30 bulbs you are looking at, but in general all LED emitters are not the same. It would be impossible to tell you what is inside a "bulb" of unknown origin. It could be very efficient with state of the art LED emitters and an efficient driver, or it could be built with a horrible driver and low efficiency LEDs.
