The label on my range hood says to only use bulbs that are marked "suitable for use in open luminaries" - do these have that marking?

The boxes don't say anything about that. The lights on my range hood have glass lenses that protect the bulbs. If the bulbs in your hood look like these, I would be surprised if there was not a lens involved. Some hoods use a bulb that looks more like a miniature flood light, where the filament and lens is contained as a unit.

No, I don't think so... in fact, the lamp these fit for me had a completely enclosed bulb area... in other words, nothing was left open. Sorry.

Most bulbs are 71mm + or- 2mm for most applications. You will need to request a 73mm + or- 2mm for the Zephyr hood applications. Contact Ron Miller at ron@replacementlightbulbs.com and he will help you. Cheers.

Yes I re-used mine plus it has a spot for a 194 bulb I tapped in the marker lights and they look wicked cool at night with the smoked lens on the markers. Hope this helped.

I get frustrated because retrictions on bulbs vary by brand and model and they don't always advertise the restrictions until you open the package and read the fine print. Here are the fine print restrictions shown on the 'inside' packaging of the Cree 18-watt (100 watt equiv) bulb: Do NOT use in enclosed fixtures. Allowed temperature range: -13F to +113 degrees F. Suitable for damp locations but NOT where exposed directly to weather or water. Not intended for use with emergency exit fixtures or emergency lighting. My words: (You might find the 60 watt allows enclosed fixture use but not the 100 watt) I get frustrated because retrictions on bulbs vary by brand and model and they don't always advertise the restrictions until you open the package and read the fine print.

No. Printed on the bulb itself is the text: "Caution not for use in totally enclosed luminaries suitable for damp locations"(two separate lines split between luminaries & suitable. It is not clear to me if this means it can be used in damp locations or not, but definitely not in enclosed lamps.)

I'm just a homeowner and not an expert. It sounds though like you're concerned about heat build-up from the bulb. It's my understanding that these bulbs create negligible heat. and a cut-out would be more than enough.

I use one set for low bean (wider and lower) and different set for High Beam (long range).... take a look at your existing bulb number to make sure you get the right ones...

These are High Pressure Sodium lamps. Because of their design, only HPS bulbs will work. I mounded one at each end of my barn, just below the peak which put them about 14' from the ground. They produce a bright yellow freznal light that is fine if you are beneath them, but produce a considerable glare when viewed from a distance. If I was doing this again, I would have mounted lights away from the building on poles or directed lighting toward the building so unauthorized activity could be more effectively monitored. Hope this helps!

No reply. I take it this means no... good luck specifying red bulbs, if so desired. Bummer, this kinda seemed like a good deal...

No, the box is very well labelled and clearly states that it is not for use in enclosed luminaires: "USE IN OPEN LUMINAIRE ONLY." That said, the lamp itself says "NOT FOR USE IN TOTALLY ENCLOSED LUMINAIRES," which just confuses things by adding the "totally" bit. It claims to be dimmable, but I have not checked it for flicker (a common issue with dimming LED lamps).

These bulbs are not sealed like the standard bulb (having a glass cover all around). If you use these LED's, they will need to be in a protective lens cover that is water tight. Also, you may want to use dielectric grease on the socket area to prevent corrosion.

These are meant for open use in a chandelier, which is how I have been using them. If they were protected there should be no problem with using them outdoors. They are good bulbs.

The manufacturer specifies for indoor use only. However, I have had 12 of them outdoors for over a year now. They are under an eve so they are out of direct rain, but they are out in the ocean mist and cold air. They appear to be very well sealed. There are two reasons I can think of why it is labeled for indoor use only. 1) The big metal heatsink on the back could give you a big electric shock if the bulb is wet to the base and you try to handle it. 2) it is not as well sealed as I think it is. But if you're careful and willing to take the risk, they light up the yard around my house extremely well.

i couldnt see why they could not. but i dont know if they are rated inside or outside. i know they look as good as any flicker flame bulb i have EVER seen and i am gonna put some out on my deck this summer. the price is RIGHT for sure.

You'll need to read the specs. The difference may be that you can only use flourescent bulbs vs. regular bulbs.

I suppose you could use it anywhere you have a fixture that would accept it. However most, if not all, hood lighting that I have seen is set up for specialized bulbs and from what I know, and I have raised fish for about 30 years, unless you have some sort of unique set up the bulb would not fit.

They did not work for us in single bulb outdoor enclosed fixtures. The package states, "Do not use in multi-bulb enclosed fixtures together with other bulb technologies...". It does NOT say not to use them individually in outdoor enclosed fixtures. In fact, is also says "Suitable for damp locations but not for use where exposed directly to weather or water.", which seems to imply that enclosed fixtures are preferable. Unfortunately, two of the six bulbs we installed burned out in less than a week. I replaced the rest and will use them indoors. Hopefully, they will do better inside.
