How safe are these? They dont look that safe

Worked fine for me. I didn't like the light the gu bulbs had. So used a traditional bulb with these adapters.

I'm an electrician and I can tell you that these are not UL listed. That means they do not meet up to the US electrical standards. An electrical inspector would not allow any product that is not UL listed to be installed in any US home being inspected.

Well, we put the. In our bathroom fixture and they are working fine. My husband is a retired electrician and he is happy with them is that helps.

Well I haven't had a problem with them. Not sure what you mean by safe? They connect right into the GU24 base, you screw the E26 bulb in place. It adds about 3/4" in length to the bulb, so be mindful when you make your bulb selection. TONS of choices in that department in shape/size.

I wouldn't trust them to be weather resistant, the item isn't marketed as such and what you see in the picture is what you get, the connections would be at risk of damage if they were to get wet.

We have ours in a cupboard above the washer/dryer. Never heard of any concerns of safety as long as you use them according to instructions.

They are, but I would be careful, they fall apart within a single use if you are lucky.

TECHNICALLY no, they're not safe. That being said I've had a can hanging from the rear seat belt in my truck for a couple of years and have never had a problem. I too live in Scottsdale. I figure the worst case is they COULD rupture and it would make a bit of a mess, but the can says it's easy to clean up. I wouldn't worry too much about it. I do leave my windows cracked just a bit unless there's a monsoon coming or a dust storm in the area.

They look pretty safe. Same as hair spray cans. Just keep them away from excessive heat and flame. I keep mine in our hall coat closet. I have about 8 cans in case of power failure. Haven't had any problems yet. I live in New Jersey and haven't heard of any legal questions on storage. These caniisters are ued in many restaurants and caterers.

it is listed on the package that they are safe and I have septic and have had no problems at all. I hope this helps

I don't why they wouldn't be safe. The use less power and generate less heat than a conventional incandescent equivalent.

They are soft enough for playing on (playing like standing and sitting, not like wrestling and falling), and certainly don't pose any hazards as far as breaking or damaging them. If properly put together they won't slide apart and leave exposed concrete or something. They are slightly textured which might be a disadvantage for use of toys like cars and things.My only real concern would be with their chemical make up. I'm not a chemist or a biologist so I can't speak to any chemical hazards associated with them. I would think they would be safe, but they do probably contain some plastic or petro chemical.

I've had no issues putting them on and I've dropped them a few times and no issue. I would describe myself as a bull in a china cabinet when it comes to how gentle I am with things. I would not describe these as fragile, but wouldn't expect them to completely survive a really hard slam on concrete either

Not dangerous at all. Mine pretty much dropped out or when they came out it was really slow and soft.

I have been using them for a couple years now and they are quite reliable but if they start to malfunction the best thing is to send them for repair or discard them / any atemp to repair them yourself can result in bodily injury I know this for a fact I have tried a few times and they blew up lucky for me I had on safety gear.

ehhhh yeah i don't know if that would be a good idea. They probably have chemicals in them that you don't want to be burning

I don't know how safe it is bc I never tried to break into it. The locking mechanism was not easy to use, frequently got jammed, and felt flimsy in my grip. That is the entirety of my experience with this safe.

They are not oven safe - they melt at high temperatures and you would have a real mess. You can't leave them on while you're cooking on the range, either, and for exactly the same reason. They are nice if you have a tendency to 'dunk' your potholders in whatever it is you're cooking, but I don't think I'd buy them again.

Can't personally answer that one based on experience. Would it be safe? Yes. Worth the effort? Not in my opinion :)

I have two and never have had a problem, they get hot to the touch but that's expected, they r pretty safe i would say
