Can these be used in an enclosed fixture such as a glass globe hall light?

They are sized like a regular bulb and state that they can be used in enclosed fixtures on the package.

Yes. I have several cree bulbs in enclosed fixtures and have had no problems with them.

Two of six that we placed in a single bulb outdoor enclosed fixture burned out in less than a week. The packaging does not say you can't use them in enclosed fixtures unless you are using them with other types of bulbs in the same fixture. YMMV

I have installed them in this type of application. I have had no issue with it.

Yes, that should be fine. I use these bulbs everywhere in my house in place of standard 60 Watt bulbs

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

No, I am using them in an exposed wall mounted fixture. However they are located in a spot that cannot be touched easily.

I used them outdoors, no problem. They were however, inside a light fixture.

From what I've learned from GE, they are for table lamps and enclosed fixtures. HOPEFULLY (?), they can be used outside as long as they are covered, tightly with a glass globe. Good luck!

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.

when i read the manufactures directions on the package it did not say it could not be used in fully enclosed fixtures it just stats not to mix different bulb types such as cfl in the same fixture

I believe these bulbs need to be in an open fixture...They can be placed in a dome fixture if it's not full enclosed.

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.

Hello; Yes, definitely. We use them for that purpose and for glass-enclosed hallway lighting.

I would think so, I've used them in enclosed and non-enclosed fixtures with no problems.

The bulbs are made of pretty thick glass. I don't see any reason they wouldn't work outdoors.

these bulbs are not intended for use in enclosed can light fixtures. a statement on this is included on the product packaging

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.

Probably. There is a metal piece you screw on each light outlet after putting the globe on. 4 of 5 of them were well fitted however one did not tighten well but would probably hold or you could use electrical tape to make it tighter. Also if you use energy saving lights you have to get the compact ones. Even then the globe is barely tall enough to cover it. If mounting facing down you will see the light bulb.

Be careful. I have seen some specifications on these types of bulbs that state they should not be used in a fully enclosed fixture. For your safety, I would double check that this one could.
