Can this be used in a lamp that was converted to be battery operated in doors? I saw that you mentioned this is not for indoors

they can be used indoors on 12 volts only this is what the disclaimer for indoor use is about if plugged into 120 by mistake shock or fire can be the result

I have 3 of these bulbs, and they work beautifully indoors. I use 2 in the bedroom, and one in a floor lamp in the sunroom. I love them.

12volt led bulbs can be used inside anywhere the line voltage is 12 volts. 12 volt bulbs should never be used on household (110 volt in US) circuits.

I have converted 110 volt AC lamps to operate on a Malibu low voltage system. These lights are used in a enclosed porch. I used these to reduce the risk of shock in a potentially damp environment. On addition, these lamps are used in yhe marine and RV interiors that are 12 volt battery system.

Sure, we are using a transformed but it could work on a battery too as long as it was 12 volts.

As far as I know, the only reason this wouldn't be meant for indoors is because most indoor light sockets would be hooked up to a 120 volt system and these bulbs are 12 volts. Our light fixtures are 12 volts (we have solar power in our house) and we use these lights indoors. As long as whatever you're plugging them into is also 12 volts it shouldn't be a problem.

Yes. I wired mine into an old enclosed swag lamp (so ventilation is not even an issue as with some LEDs).

We use it on 12volt DC lights. Great for off-grid. Uses less watts and much brighter than other 12 volt bulbs.

No, this one cannot because it will only work in the cigarette lighter. However, you can purchase ones that are made for use indoors.

Greetings, you would have to change the lamp out, and have a plug adapter. It is initially, for 110 volts. hope that helps.

I use them indoors in lamps. I would think, if the lanterns are enclosed, it wouldn't be a problem.

This is made for outdoor use, but it certainly would work indoors as well. Have had mine for about 4 years now using it outdoors under a patio cover and looks/works great. I would recommend getting a 10-15 year light bulb though 'cause it's a pain to change the light bulb when it goes out. Hope this helps.

With an adapter you could put it in a standard lamp, but the I believe the wattage is only effective for a short distance. So, it wouldnt do much for your desk...It would only help for anything that floats nearby.

We use ours inside so not sure. If rather bulb is in an in closed fixture and/or under the house' serves, it should be ok.

Yes, leaving the batteries in the lamp is fine. It doesn't harm the lamp or seem to drain the batteries at all

As long as the bulb has a screw mount base you can use it in here. We used a 17 W LED bulb. They work great!

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.)

Carolyn, I'm from the UK and bought one of these for indoor use. I am not an electrician but if I were you I would ask an electrician about using one of these on electrics outside.

I used it for my kitchen and dining lights. Not sure of using it in a lamp. It plugs in with pins. It is not a screw in

I believe if you have a lamp with 220V the circuit should manage the amount of power going thru the bulb itself. But I can be wrong. Might be better to check with manufacturer.

It should be ok. I use one in a collapsible light box for 3 to 4 each time and never have any issues. Just remember these are very large lamps. Here's the box we use. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0028K2TWM/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1396835122&sr;=8-3π=SY200_QL40

Can you use the battery operated lights inside them? Anywhere to hold them in.

I would definitely not put this outside. I have it in a very small pantry (4'X4') that has a door. I am telling you this because the light is very sensitive motion. If outside , it would stay on all the time and run down the batteries very quickly. I try to keep the door closed for this reason. Also it is not bright enough to illuminate a large area.

It should be fine in a desk lamp. I used mine in a wall mounted light fixture. It works well and the price was great.
