How do you protect the bulbs during travel? Was the kit supposed to come with covers for the modeling bulb units?

I always pack them in the boxes they came in to take them anywhere. When everything is packed up it all fits in the large carry case that comes with this. It's a GREAT package.

The heads come off the stands so I've been storing them in their boxes. The kit comes with a bag but I bought a medium plastic trunk with wheels and store the heads and accessories in the trunk. I would recommend sand bags too or upgrading the stands I've had trouble with the stands and they are too light and they fall over.

Sorry, there are NO covers for the strobes. I recommend that you keep the original boxes they come in which also holds the power cords and fits neatly the the carry case...however take care when tightening the strobes on the light stands as the holder is plastic and will break when over tightened.

I place the lighs back in the box that they came in. No covers came with them. It's a bit more bulk in bag but strobes travel well every time.

Sure just cover the bulbs with a pair of socks to avoid looking at the light it's quite dangerous as noted on the container

The bulb should be in a little box and if I remember right, the box was inside of the glass on the front. You have to take the glass down to install the bulb. Make sure when you install the bulb. that you don't touch the glass with your fingers. The oil from your fingers will harm the bulb. Use a paper towel of napkin to wrap around the bulb. I love mine. They are awesome. I have one in my back yard and 2 and our camp. One of the ones at camp is in a new building that I haven't installed electric in it yet and it works great to lite it up.

I don't recall anything on the box that about that. This bulb only goes into special fixtures. So if the fixture was made for exterior use I would think it protected the bulb. A previous poster mentioned using a dusk to dawn timer. Those are often used outside. But it is a CFL and low temps are a factor in light output until the bulb heats up.

Mine had a soft foam sleeve as well that had to be removed before turning on the light. There was no plastic on the bulb! Could some small pieces of the foam packaging could have stuck to the bulb and melted?

I cover mine in rain and snow. The wind can blow your pilot light out, depending on direction and force. I cover mine by placing my plastic camping table over it. Important to keep back dry

It came with bulbs, but the size is European so I had to order bulb adapters. I thought it would be cheaper in the long run.

I have mine screwed into the wall. The lightbulb covers slide off and I believe the bulbs screw in.

These bulbs are not sealed like the standard bulb (having a glass cover all around). If you use these LED's, they will need to be in a protective lens cover that is water tight. Also, you may want to use dielectric grease on the socket area to prevent corrosion.

This kit does not include bulbs. You will need to purchase bulbs separately.

Sorry, Hot desert climate where I live. I would get a unit with self contained lights or LED's to shield from wet conditions.

They came as a package of 2 bulbs. However, I would not put them in a place where moisture can get to them, the electronics are not sealed. The bulb shown in the link below might work better for an outside location as it is sealed (I use it as a porch light for a motorhome). The Amazon URL is Pack of TWO (2), LED 12V White Omni Bulb BA15S Clear Cover

It was when i got mine- but warning- the bulbs are fragile, and cost a lot!!

Pull the cover down and unplug it. There is a screw on the back side holding the back cover on. Remove the back cover and the bulbs are inside of it.

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.

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
