I have some flush mount enclosed fixtures on the ceiling. Should I replace them and if so what do you recommend as LED compatible?

The L-Prize is the ONLY LED bulb that might work. The Department of Energy is testing 200 of them at a temperature of 45 C (113 F) for 20,000 hours so far. Zero failures. *IF* you take one L-Proze bulb, put it in your fixture, leave on for several hours with a small thermometer inside the fixture. If the temp is <115 F, you should be OK. The L-Prize uses only 9.7 watts. But TEST one before buying many.

The manufacturer indicates that their bulbs only be used in non-enclosed fixtures (as they need air to cool the LED junction, or they will burn out quicker, how much is hard to say). This marking is typical of every LED bulb I have used though. The bulb will still operate, you just will not get the life that it is rated for. You may want to call Philips customer service and ask your question also and ensure there is no safety risk besides the shorter life.

Most led bulbs are not designed for enclosed fixtures. Try Home Depot they have a display showing what look like a led ceiling conversion. I have 12 volt ceiling fixtures and I replaced 50 watt halogen bulbs with Philips EnduraLed 10 Watt MR16 and they work great.

Agree with Hinchliff. Just be sure you get a porcelain socket as these fixtures run pretty hot

LED modules are not available separately. Usually the entire fixture would need to be replaced.

I don't see why not I use flourence bulbs - your led should have a standard light bulb end if so it should screw in like a regular light bulb - under the 4 way socket there is a single socket the four sockets on top can not be moved works great for me

Some of the brighest LED bulbs are very large and won't fit in certain enclosures. I've just added a customer image showing exactly this scenario. It should be visible above soon.

Check ACE Hardware. I found some similar in their lighting / electrical section.

Simple answer, meant respectfully: if you have to ask, then probably not unless you have a friend who is technically inclined.. But the loss of 1 or 2 leds wouldn't really matter. More than a few failures, and it would probably be best to replace the whole unit.

Sorry, I don't know. In researching microscopes recently I first learned that LED's are not necessarily standardized and may be proprietary. Thus, it would probably be wise (for both of us) to request the specification for the LED's used in the fixture. In fact, I'm going examine mine to see if the lights are even replaceable. It might be one of those disposable objects.

Check Sylvania.com to make sure you have a compatible fixture. Google Sylvania 70734 and find the compatible fixtures. I have installed 10 of these LED fixture and have not any problems. Wish you luck.

install a 1k ohm resister in parallel with ONE of the bulbs. The leads will fit under the caps. I have done this and it works. You only need to do this if you have exit delay lighting.

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

I have called LED Wolesalers and talked to the guy's there, They are very helpful. Any question that you have they can answer.

I would get the LED seperate from the air wand so if 1 goes out then you only have to replace that part...good luck!

Not sure about LED replacement. Takes standard 12V bulb available anywhere. Just make sure same type/watts or it can melt fixture.

Its probably not the diode or bulb, it's probably the driver or power supply. U probably will have to replace the fixture.

No! This mounts flush to the ceiling using your current light fixture box, or you can mount with the enclosed drywall anchors as well.

I'm an engineer who designs buildings. Our lighting designers say that LEDs should not be used in enclosed fixtures, but that does not match my experience. I have 5 Besa Bobbi ( http://www.amazon.com/Besa-Lighting-911052C-Collection-2-Light/dp/B000TF9OTE ) ceiling fixtures (which I love) with two of these per fixture, and I have had no failures. I think it is a heat transfer issue. If the fixture were only rated for a 20 W incandescent there might be overheating, but I think that any fixture rated for 60 W lamps will not overheat with 9 W LEDs. I even have one marine light using these on a porch.
