I want to use this in a fully enclosed outside light pole. The wind rattles the pole and causes my incandescent to go out after a few weeks

I've been slowly replacing all the incandescents/cfls in the house with LEDs. The first one was the garage door opener, about 2 years ago. I used to replace that light 2 times a year because of all the vibrations the garage door opener generates. The filaments in an incandescent bulb are not that durable. Outdoor patio lights (semi enclosed) have been replaced about a year ago. These lights are on all night long (average 8 hours) every day. Some of my interior lights have been replaced. The only thing I've noticed recently is that my electric bill (Southern California Edison) have been reduced by aound 20%. The only incandescents I have left in the house now are in the fridge and oven. You might want to read more about LEDs here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode

No. The packaging that is with the bulb states "Do not use in enclosed fixtures", under "CAUTIONS & WARNINGS". LED lights fail if they become too hot, that's why it has cooling fins at the base of the bulb. An enclosed fixture would trap the heat.

All I can tell you is that in an enclosed outdoor fixture, this bulb works very well. It would be unusual for a bulb to work through the rain in an un-enclosed fixture. Hope this helps!

the fixture is weather resistant and secure in the wind. make sure the mounting box is secured to a sturdy structural member.

Don't count on it. I suppose if the fixture is well-sheltered like on an enclosed porch you'll be OK, but I wouldn't expose the bulb to driving rain. I use them indoors.

The fixture will hold up fine with wind and ice/rain if installed securely. It is a strait forward simple design. The shade is not deep so the bulb would be exposed to a driving rain. I use an indoor outdoor decorative bulb. Fixture is all metal, baring a direct hit from a wind driven projectile I expect this fixture to last indefinitely..

Sure, there is no reason you could not. It fits into the space of a single pole switch. I have installed several outdoor boxes for outdoor lighting, the timer switch would work fine - I didn't do it, but no chance of any problems.

Yes. It is designed for use in open fixtures. It's not suitable for totally enclosed fixtures. Not enough air flow will shorten bulbs life. Bulb has 6 year warranty.

None that I am aware of at present. I installed my Full Spectrum Light Bulbs (ALZO 45W CFL) in light sockets without a globe or shade (not my original plan). Used in this fashion they throw a lot of light as long as you aren't too concerned about appearances. One is mounted horizontally and another vertically. Both have been in service since the beginning of this year without any problem.

this will work for glass enclosed light fixtures. I've used one for out doors. its lasted me over 3 years.

The box indicates it shouldn't be used in totally enclosed fixtures or "insulated air tight recessed down lights." I'm not sure what insulated air tight means in this case but if your fixture is open and ventilated if think you were good. The light itself should be great illumination wise.

I bought these for my outdoor lighting. However, the LED bulb is longer than my light can hold. I modified one to make it fit (not recommended) and found that the light flickered. I don't know if that was due to mine being A/C outdoor lights and the circuit in them does not work as well on A/C. I would check first on how much room you have in your undercabinet fixtures for a longer bulb. These are also bigger in diameter too.

I purchased this light fixture and mine is mounted outside in my entry way. Works nicely! I would not mount it somewhere that it could get wet.

We hung a 1lb lantern from it for over two years of Wyoming wind before it failed at a rub point. The 10' pole is quite stiff.

I used this for an enclosed outside light fixture which required a bulb roughly the size of an incandescent light bulb. I had no issues with this bulb. However, I have a couple of ceiling fans that require bulbs with similar bases, but the prongs are closer together and they are more like little flood lights, so i would recommend verifying that this truly is the appropriate size bulb you need.

This lamp does not have an all weather enclosure, but if you place it in a protected area, it should be fine outdoors.You will need the proper socket for it to work.

As long as that your lighting fixture is water proof and the bulb is away from rain or water, then it should be fine. However, completely shielded lighting fixture might shorten the lifespan of a led bulb.
