Will mounting this bulb base up shorten the life?

It is a terrible bulb. My bulb melted at the base, smoked, and shot off sparks. It is a fire hazard.

I have two of these bubs mounted over my work bench and being mounted upside down doesn't seem to have affected their performance.

It shouldn't - what shortens the life of a CFL is putting it in an enclosed fixture where the heat can build up

If you find out let me know. Mine are all horizontal or pointing a bit down.

Its a LED bulb that will last hundreds of hours - there is a super tiny screw at the base where the light bulb housed, but I would guess from looking at it the answer is no. I love mine!

it is very hard to say , depends on the quality of the bulbs filaments during assembly , it also depends if your vehicle suffers from voltage spikes from the alternatori got nearly 9 months out of my last set , sylvania bulbs were even worse for reliability , the only way to ensure the longest life from these bulbs is to connect a quality made DC voltage regulator between the battery and the circuit breaker

If you don't leave it on for long periods of time the bulb life is extended.

No your bulb has a wide plug, not a narrow base like these particular bulbs do.

No. It's an LED that's soldered to the wiring. But the LED should last around 10,000 hours, so replacing the bulb should not be an issue.

Yes. Separate the base from the fixture,screw the base down after bringing in the wiring. connect the wiring,refasten fixture. That's what I had to do with mine. Good Luck

I can not recommend this product. It lasted less than 45 days after I installed it. It did sit on my self for 6 months while the old bulb burned out, but it should have lasted longer than it did. I usually have them last 3 years or so. Yes, it did come with the housing.

Yes, you shouldn't worry about that :) But let me suggest you something: I highly recommend if you'll use this bulb for this fixture. For me, it's one of the best I've purchased because the light output, durability, and efficiency are impeccable. Also, the color of the light and the fixture blends well. Hope it helps (Pack of 4) G25 LED Bulb 6W, Warm white, 3000K, 40W Globe Bulb Incandescent Replacement, clear Cover, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,

It doesn't require mounting to operate, so you'll probably be fine. However, it may be worth noting that this fixture is relatively flimsy as it's all plastic. Without being mounted in some way there's nothing preventing mechanical stresses or heat from warping it.

As others stated, hiigh/low, mine lasted about 9 months before they went out with a week of each other. precautions taken to not touch the bulb during installation.

The box says no, but I have several in a rather large enclosed outdoor fixture. Heat build up may ultimately shorten the lifespan of the bulb but they have been up and running for 4 - 5 hr per day for about 4 months without a problem. The fact it has been winter has probably helped things.

I have had mine setup for maybe a month and had one of the bulbs go already - was easy to replace. The wires are in the way but just move them aside and screw in the bulb like normal.

In my opinion, the LED is worthless in the first place; it is VERY small and you can only see it in the dark. I used a much brighter LED in the panel I built and placed it just above the switch. So.....not sure if the life would be extended or not...... Hope this helps,

Most definitely. I bought 2 3-bulb and 1 4-bulb units all mounted downward. I am thinking of reversing the 4-bulb for a different dispersal effect. (Have not done it yet.)

50% 100% dose'nt matter because that bulb only lasted 95 days for a few $$ more you'll find better that will last much longer.........shop around

In side a garage should be fine most likely, i installed mine in the spring so mine has only gone through maybe mid 20's so far, didn't have it yet when it was -25.In reference above my bulb is outside as a street lamp above the garage, so the mid or high 20's its felt so far was full force
