We have an Amana range hood and usually use GE bulbs for the lighting...can these be used instead?

the light may be more intense than you need for a range hood -- main thing I would consider would be the heat given off by this bulb, which is substantial

At the bottom of the GE CFL on the back of the package there is a message that reads "Not intended for use with emergency exit fixtures or lights, electronic timers, photocells, or with dimmers." Dusk to dawn outdoor sensor fixtures use photocells". So the answer to your question is no, however there are some fixtures that use electronic switching like fixtures with motion detectors. These bulbs work ok with this type fixture. Also using these bulbs outdoors need to be protected from moisture.

Yes you can. However, you I reconmend not using CFL bulbs because they contain Mercury inside. Use LED bulbs even though they cost a lot more--they will last 10 times or more longer. Hope this helps

I assume that you can use any of them. I chose this item because I wanted to use LED bulbs in them. LED bulbs outshine other lights without any appreciable heat, while using a fraction of the electricity. I am very satisfied with this item and the LED bulbs I use in them.

I do not know the answer to the question, regarding this particular bulb. However, usually all bulbs made by GE can be used with dimmers, except for the newer energy saving bulbs. You would have to go on the GE Web site to find out for certain.

I'm not sure. I would contact Minka directly to find out what the maximum wattage bulb would be. I bet that with an led bulb that runs so much cooler than an incandescent you might be able to that level of brightness without worrying about the extra heat that might be an issue with with a standard bulb. First place to check would be with the manufacture.

You can use any brand you would like. The par38 style in LED is is a good energy efficient option. Plus they do not attract bugs like filament bulbs. If you choose to use incandescent bulb you can only use up to 150 watts. Any hardware store with Par38 bulbs will work.

Hello, thank you for the question and interest. Yes you can use the newer bulbs.

yes you can use it with other heating/lighting bulbs. i have a blue day light that i turn off at night, has its own switch, and a red heat light all day and night. you have to use a lowwatt bulb though. I used a 65W and it warped the hood. Use 45 or less, depending on your size. I has 3 screw in spots for bulbs, but i only use two on my 28"x18" terrarium.

They say not to but I don't understand why. I know that they are taller than a standard bulb so they sometimes won't fit. Led gives off less heat than a standard bulb. If the light you are installing this in isn't run at least 20hours a week you won't really have much savings vs a cfl

I don't know. The directions say to use an incandescent. I use mine with a 3 way bulb on high. sorry not going to be much help with that question l.

You would use very low watt, the candle type bulb. I ordered these and they were too small for my lighting fixture and I'm looking to sell them, they are brand new.

Yes, any LED bulb with a medium base can be used with this fixture. There is not a glass globe with this fixture so the recommended bulb is a round bulb called a G40. Although you can use a regular shaped bulb, try to find an LED G40 bulb for the best look.

yes i would use the recommended incandescent.. however you can use a halogen or led bulb which are more energy efficient .

You can use regular Incandescent bulbs, but over time the heat will adversely affect the plastic for that reason so I recommend LED. The bulb holder is positioned such that the bulb is pointed to one side so use an omni-directional LED for better light distribution.

The led bulbs work well in enclosed locations. Just make sure the size of the bulb will fit.They are good for stove hoods and ceiling fans because they generate much less heat.

No, you have to buy whatever bulbs you are using. I use a 150 watt heat bulb and a Reptisun 10.0 UV bulb. I have a single dome on the other side with a 100 watt heat for a cooler area.
