Does this bulb work well in standard coach light outdoor fixtures with the top of the bulb pointing down?

I used the bulb in the upright position but I don't believe it would be a problem to install the bulb upside down.

hi, i don't know, my light is bulb is doing well, and it not the light its the sensor thats works its not in the bulb like all the others its outside in the light, but i used my bulb outside. don't get me wrong the bulb is great.

the bulb is very interesting. it works when it wants, goes off when the nite is young and is very temperamental. would i recommend it? not if you want it for security the whole nite long. we are trying to figure out why it is so temperamental but so far no luck. so up or down is not an issue with us, the lights are.

I ordered 2 of these, one was dead on arrival, which I returned. The other worked well in response to your question. It is a bit bright though, being 60W equivalent (40 would be better)

that's how i have 3 out of 5 of my lights , just make sure sensor faces outward. however, with these type bulbs , they do light on overcast, and rainy days.

I have not tried to fit it into a standard fixture but I doubt that it would because the bulb is much thinner. I bought a fixture t.o go with it

The light distribution of this Philips LED 'bulb' is close to that of a traditional incandescent A19 bulb. That means you can use it either face up or face down and it makes very little difference.

I have used similar ones in an outside post light with good results. Will install these and update is there are any issues.

This particular model is fine in closed spaces; the revolutionary heat venting (even if it's feeding into a small enclosed area) fixes the traditional problem with LEDs for 100w replacement bulbs. Please note this bulb shape is a good inch longer than a normal A21 bulb! If the placement of the light source within the enclosure is relevant, you may end up with an off-center light.

I noticed another brand allowed the bulb to be "re-clocked". I think I see that on mine, but in town I never get to go on high beam. I'll have to re-check the 3 tabs to see if I can rotate them up.

It looks to me to work OK. I use them in all my outdoor overhead bulbs. Worth a trial.

Hi I think it would work the bulb gives off little heat. But check to make sure it would fit in the fixture your planning to use

Yes. I have my Cree bulb in 2 outdoor fully enclosed lighting fixtures. These Cree bulbs are ideal for that application.

Yes, that's what I was using it for - as uplighting on some trees in the backyard. But unfortunately I had to return it because rain water accumulated inside the bulb and it shorted out. Whether that was due to the socket fixture not fitting well, the rubber seal not being tight enough or some other reason - I don't really know.

This is an email reply I received from LEDwholesalers : While this item may be used outdoors, direct exposure to rain is usuallynot recommended. For example, installing this bulb in a fixture underthe eave would be better. Make sure that the bulb is oriented downwards(does NOT have to be vertical down) to prevent water from collecting atthe light socket.

i have been using several of the Philips led bulbs above and have had good luck with them. They are rated 'wet location' but some led flood outdoor lamps are rated 'damp location' which is not as high a rating for outdoor use with the possibility of direct rain.

I have this bulb in a floor lamp, so my experience is quite different. I'm writing under it now and can see that the light leaves the bulb 360 degrees from the bulb face. What will effect your light pattern is the length of the bulb, if replacing a R30 bulb you might want bulb extenders.

The bulb sits about an inch further with the light control installed. For example, I used mine in a recessed floodlight fixture...after installing, the bulb protruded out of the fixture.

Yes, mine is pointed toward the ground rather than up to the sky. I have to admit the unit is failing after a year plus use. I have to either flick the blub or screw the bulb a bit tighter for it to operate. I maybe should replace the bulb but it does stay lit each night by doing this seemingly simple procedure.

I have 2 of these bulbs and they both work well, but I did figure out that they need to be in a single on off type socket{not a 3 way lamp socket}I hope this helps you.

I use these bulbs in post fixtures in Indiana. I have had better luck with these bulbs than others.
