Do these bulbs have a UV cover or are they open? Reviews say they are open. I want to make sure I receive the covered bulbs before I order.

My bulbs had a cover. There is a version of these bulbs without a cover, so that may be what those reviews were about.

Yes MR16 Premium 12v 20watt BAB/WC 36 degree has a cover on them but the lady I ordered them for said they last a long time.

My bulbs are made by Premium (12v 20w BAB/WC) and have a plastic cover over the bulb.

The ones I ordered and received had a cover. I don't know if it is a UV cover or just a watertight cover.

The manufacturer doesn't have a bulb replacement and that is one reason why its a UVA and not UVC bulb. The latter needs to be changed every 6 months or so as indicated by their other products and is also more effective against germs.

It's hard to tell, but the ones I got are still working. My experience has been with these kind of bulbs has been pretty good. In this case I use them in a kitchen under corner light feature and they are going strong. I also use them in a work light in the garage and work well but are very sensitive to shaking.. dropping a work light on the floor usually breaks the bulb. They run very hot so be careful of using lite weight plastic covers. Hope this helps. Jim

Where did you see they were suitable for totally enclosed luminaries? I don't see that anywhere. The heatsinks on them get too hot to touch. These are my first LED bulbs, and from what I've read some get hot and some don't. So I don't know if that is going to affect them; being on all the time, or being totally enclosed. I don't see how the plastic globe part of them doesn't melt unless it's some kind of high-temp plastic.

I just bought these a few days ago (from Amazon). It is a pair, not just a single bulb. Amazon did a really bad job packaging it though. Hopefully a different employee will prep yours...

There's no lense over it but it's sealed. I haven't had any issues. They won't get burned out because their led

I still use the same bulb and usually have no problem with them. Having one last for 3 months was unusual but that could happen, I was more disappointed about the second bulb not working at all. If you purchase them you should test both bulbs once received.

Both bulbs come in a metal box that has clasps, if that's what you mean...? The bulbs themselves come in a simple plastic cover that is easily popped off. Hope this helps...

I've had mine since Feb/2014, not issues so far. Be sure to wear latex gloves when installing to avoid getting oils/dirt on the bulbs.I've mentioned in my review, they are a little brighter, but don't expect HID brightness.

I don't know if they do, but so far I have not had any issues with the bulbs- they are still the same from my original order, none needed to be replaced yet......

regular bulbs are not full spectrum unless its stated on the package. these are good though i ordered one a few months ago and with about 6-8 hours of use every day its still going.

Mine did have sleeves on the bulbs but were not put in the foam cutouts either. The packaging was very poor almost looked like they were just thrown in but I have had no trouble getting mine to work and still work great.

This is the correct bulb but be warned, they are packaged very poorly. When the (2) bulbs I ordered arrived they were both in a small plastic ziplock bag without separation, causing damage to one and thus unusable.

These are not sealed units as the bulbs can be changed. They use the stock bulb replacements just the OEM assemblies as they are a direct replacement DOT and SAE approved.ThanksRM

Not sure why yours is any different than mine. Mine are just fine. Unless you got shipped the wrong light. The only part that will show is the light itself with the lip on the outside. The rest is irrelevent. If it's not what you want or dont like the look, send them back!

The company that makes the lights should have them. Also you can check via Amazon for them as well. (Just have the right info for the bulb.) I ordered them and one came with a burned out bulb. I called the manufacture and they sent me 3 free! Great lights for the price!

The bulbs that I ordered do have cover lenses. I only use two at a time and the first two installed have lasted for about 6 months and are still working. They are on about 4 hours per day for outdoor landscape lighting. They have been an excellent value on this basis.
