How is the bulb protected? Any glass enclosure?

There is not a glass enclosure. However, we have had ours now for about a year and through a very tough northeast winter and have not had any issues with the bulbs.

No glass cover so if you use normal bulbs they burn out fast. I use 194 LED bulbs - 15 SMD LED wedge base tower, from Superbrightleds.com. Work great so far. If you are getting LED bulbs make sure you get ones with at least 100 lumens up. Good luck.

I mentioned in my review how well it was protected...see below.So glad to have found this replacement bulb for my Kodak slide projector! I was concerned about some of the reviews on different bulbs, their longevity, and the packaging. I can't speak to the longevity.But, the bulb was well protected in its packaging.

The glass is a half cylinder that sits flush to the wall.The bulb is fully enclosed by the glass and is not visible from the side.It is an easy to install fixture and has an upscale look she installed.

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.

One last point. When you handle the lamp do not touch the bulb itself. The oil from your fingers can cause an uneven heat distribution on the glass which has been known to break the glass at temperature. Suggest you use surgical gloves.

It has a glass cover at the bottom. Like a frosted glass cover i guess thats a diffuser. I used an LED bulb which will save you $ in the long run. Goodluck!

Yes. There are two screws - one on each side - that attach the domed top to the frame containing the glass panels. There's no other way to gain access to the bulb.

This article says they (Cree) coated the glass bulb with a tacky rubber coating in order to make it shatter resistant;http://www.geek.com/review/crees-led-bulb-looks-like-an-incandescent-and-lights-like-one-for-under-10-1541531/but I also think that it helps to diffuse the light.

Is it a single-bulb fixture where the bulb won't have a globe or other glass over it? I have it illuminating my hallway and it's actually a bit brighter than I would have imagined, would probably work well over an island counter.

The lamp body and wire guard are made from some type of aluminum alloy with a glass enclosure around the bulb.

I believe that it is glass, and I replaced a broken factory light with it (2012 Juke) and it matches. It does come with a bulb as well, just a pain to install.

Its a glass shade. The glass is cloudy, so the bulb glare is cut out pretty well. (but then so is a bit of the brightness -- depending on what you need it for, you can always put in a higher wattage bulb). I am quite happy with this purchase!

My best idea is try one of these: 15-Pack E12 to E26 / E27 Adapter - JACKYLED Chandelier Socket (E12) to Medium Socket (E26/E27) Converter ,Max Wattage 1000W,200&#x2103; Heat Resistant,No Fire HazardBut I don't know if you'd be able to get the glass back on or not. I'd hope so, as I love the look of this, but would want better and easier to find bulbs too!

Yes...I have one outside on my side entrance. It its just the bulb and the socket, no lamp cover or protection. I live in Colorado and its been through rain, snow, and sun for over a year

The sticky coating is silicon rubber. If the bulb glass shatters it will be held together safely by the coating instead of spreading glass everywhere. The coating feels creepy but it is a good thing.

I haven't tried to cover mine, but maybe the glass ones that you fit on the light where the bulb goes into to light cover and then you screw both light and cover into outlet.Sorry couldn't help more.
