I need a replacement garden light bulb that sends light out the side slits and will not over heat in the glass container cover. Will this light work?

It gives off heat though not as much as an incandescent bulb, so it depends on the size of the enclosure, volume and distance between the top of the bulb and top of the enclosure and ability of the enclosure to dissipate heat.

I'll need to know a little more about your application. Is your garden light 12 VDC? What wattage bulb is currently in your glass container now? Wattage is a near-direct measure of heat and this bulb is 5.6 watts so if the bulb you have now is 5.6 watts or less then it won't overheat. This bulb gives out light horizontally so it should work to give light out through the side slits.

I don't think much light passes through the side slits, but the bulb should not overheat in a glass container.

Dear Harriette, i just can recomand this bulb, we are very pleased with it. It is not just bright enough, it is also saving a lot of energie. I am pretty sure that you will love it. It is work to try it out. Best regards Diana

I would think it would work; mine replaced a different wattage bulb in my kitchen and it's been working fine. You could also ask the actual company selling the bulb.

It looks right to me. I just bought a replacement today. It was a bit shorter but it was 13 watts and the socket fit correctly. Didn't work, but after I took it back out, I noticed a rattle in the bulb. So I'll take it back and try again. But the one you showed loos correct to me. I'd go to your local store for the bulb rather than the internet, in case it is damaged or doesn't fit right, you can take it back.

It is little larger than a standard bulb, but it fits in a regular socket. If there is no cover for the light, it should fit nicely! It really is a great light!

The light would work sitting on the glass. I bought this light for my friend's tanks a while back. If I remember correctly it has a clear plastic cover that protected the lights, so the cover would act as if it was up against the glass any way.

I don't think the 50 watt bulb will fit in the fixture. It may touch the glass cover and cause it to crack from over heating.

My local Ace Hardware had a few bulbs that wold fit my lamp, but I have not purchased one yet. The bulb that came with mine is very bright-white. Too much so. A warmer bulb would be preferable.

Pt, responding to you question from Loomis Ca. I purchased one of these glass covers for my ceiling fan a couple of months ago. I am very happy withe the quality. It should work just fine as a light bulb cover. There is a center hole to attach it to the fixture. Good luck

Please see Mike H's answer- I purchased the bulbs for the same reasons, however once installed my light fixture glass cover would not fit over the bulbs (bulbs are too big)

this will work for glass enclosed light fixtures. I've used one for out doors. its lasted me over 3 years.

The lamp shade wouldn't go over it, you would take that portion off to attach this one. Take a look at the base where the 4 arms join and make sure you can take that off. Ours was an older version with a single glass dome light and it fit just fine. I'm assuming yours would work well. If not, Amazon is usually great about returns as long as it's done right away. Hopefully this helps alittle.

Hi,The plastic cover arrived totally cracked in half. I was going to return it, but my husband got a hold of it and tried to glue it. That did not work. He went to the "big box store" and found a cover that would fit with the light bulb clip part. It is working fine over the light bulb in the middle of the ceiling. If the light has a wall power switch this works fine. If it has a pull string the fixture will be cock-eyed.

The contractor who installed it for me showed me how to change the bulb, you slide the glass cover to the side. Haven't had to do it yet, but he said if I had trouble, he would come back and do it for me. I hope so.

In my past experience, the lighting fixture has some form of a glass cover that slides in and out - slide it back towards you - which should expose the bulbs. Make sure light off (the fixture will also likely have a switch) - it's bright to look directly at the exposed bulbs (if they are on). Try not to touch the replacement bulb with your fingers (packaging also denotes). Replace bulb, slide glass back into the clips and viola, let there be light!

We like the lighting system very much but the extreme heat of the bulbs has become problematic. I'm going to take the spare replacement bulb that came with the lighting unit to my local hardware store and have them look at the bulb and advise me. If you or anyone else can come up with a more definitive answer, please let me know also. Thanks.

I installed this fixture in a friends house. She has not had to replace the bulb, they do last for a long time. I suggest you take the model number to home depot or lowes. They will have the fixture or at least be able to tell you what bulb to buy.
