is this light closed to prevent bugs and dust getting inside?

Yes, the glass opening is completely covered by the base of the the light (it's a metal culirxle)

No it's open. It's so you can change the light bulb easily. We just stick the vaccume hose in the open area to clean.

Nope, it is nice, I have 5 of them in my house, but you have to unscrew the bottom part every now and then and get rid of stink bugs :(.

No. There is no cover between the rim and top of the glass shade. As mentioned, it's designed so you can change the bulb easily. It is a beautiful fixture though. We have it hanging in our entryway and have had no issues with bugs. Also since the shade is frosted you do not see any dust easily and it's easy to clean.

The Bat Light is tight enough to be waterproof. Wouldn't worry about it. Hope this helps.

Sounds like you have a loose screw or sonething. If its the screw that comes loose then thats a easy fix. A drop of locktight on the and your good. I had the same issue with another light and its all fixed!

Our Unit is kept in a metal building. Dirt and dust doesn't seem to bother it. It does seem somewhat sealed. It is not around water.

No, this is normally closed and then open when power is applied. I'm very happy with the two of them that I bought.

haven't had any problems with this. I have them in enclosed globes both ceiling and wall and they do just fine. I think the key is that it not be a sealed fixture. In other words, if air/dust can get into the globe it's probably going to be fine. If the light has a seal / gasket of some sort around it to make it airtight/dust proof, then I wouldn't recommend it. Best LED lights I've purchased so far!

It is truly silent. I don't think you want to turn the light off because that's what neutralizes the particles. It is a blue light, but if you need it totally dark in the room to sleep then move it. This unit really works. I have own it for almost 2 years and bought one for a friend and he swears by it. I'm thinking about getting a second one because I spend the night in two seperate places in a week.

Yes, I unscrew the screws to change the light bulb so I can clean the inside of the light of debris and dust. The light bulbs, if you use the one they recommend lasta long time and mine on with a dawn to dusk censor.Rita T on July 8, 2014

No, but that could be a good thing: you can leave the door open for a long time for the inside to air-out/dry without burning out a bulb.

I believe it is an inside light but do not have access to the paperwork right now to check for sure. Not very helpful, I'm sorry but I have really enjoyed having it.

I have not experienced any issues with these. I have them in the home and outside. Enclosed bathroom ceiling lamps and similar have been fine.

Looks like closed but when you hold hat against light the light comes through. So i do not really know.

you can remove it by taking out 2 philips head screws. you would need to seal the holes to avoid light leaking in. the 2 screws may be long enough to interfere with light path to sensor.

I would open it up and reset the bulb. Dust off the inner connection also. It develops a lot of dust and the connection may not be there.

I have not cleaned mine. i think the idea is that the wavelength of light emitted destroys particles in the air, not that it has some fan-type air filter attached (sorry if that's not clear or correct-- I'm not a physicist). Just saying that mine appears to be an ordinary lightbulb.

It is not recommended to use the light in enclosed fixture not due to safety but due to the impact on lifetime of the lamp. LEDs do not like heat and depending on the heat generated in the application, the hours of usage, the life of the lamp may be shortened. The lamp features over temperature protection. In the event the ambient temperature of the application gets too warm (exceeds 45C) the lamp will dim down to allow it to cool off. Replace and forget!

The bottom is sealed (the only opening is at the top -- you drop the globe down via hand-tightened screws to get to the bulb). Bugs can't get in easily, but about once a year I have to take off the globe and clean it because tiny bugs (gnats) somehow make it inside.
