Are the bulbs proprietary, or can I use any brand bulb? Will they accept LED bulbs (produces no heat)?

You can, but the light bulbs that are supplied are for photography and minimize glare.

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.

You can use a regular bulb whatever wattage you choose. I'm using the curly shaped energy-efficient bulbs.

If you mean normal incandescent 100 watt bulbs, of course not. I would assume you could use the same type fluorescent bulbs that come with the unit as they do not produce much heat. The key would be in the heat output of the bulbs. Normal bulbs would melt the covers, the fluorescent bulbs should not have any wattage limit as they should remain cool.

LEDs generate very little heat compared to cfl or incandescent bulbs. If your can had either of these type of bulbs you should be okay. Insulated ceiling type cans are fairly standard in newer construction. Hope this helps

I'm not aware of a product that would do what you ask. Assuming that the issue is excess heat, I went to 100 watt LED bulbs by Cree. They only require 18 input watts and are cool enough to touch while on. They are relatively expensive, but have a long service life and use considerably less electricity. They are slightly taller than incandescent bulbs, so if that is an issue, you will want to check dimensions before you buy. Website is www.cree.com.

No. Have 50% failure rate over 9 mo. LED Wholesalers light are 100% ok so far, more expensive. Looks like they can't take heat.

They say not to but I don't understand why. I know that they are taller than a standard bulb so they sometimes won't fit. Led gives off less heat than a standard bulb. If the light you are installing this in isn't run at least 20hours a week you won't really have much savings vs a cfl

You can use standard incandescent bulbs. I use this with recessed lighting in my dining room. You CAN use the DIMMABLE CFL bulbs with these, (have tried it) though I don't really like them. I haven't tried the dimmable LED bulbs yet, but that's next on my list. I don't see why you couldn't though. The key word here is to make sure they're dimmable. Just make sure you don't exceed the rated wattage.

Sorry that I don't have the lamps here to check, but there are perfect led replacements available, and they are great - no heat at all and high quality light. The size and socket shape are distinctive and pretty much eliminate any choices, so you can't really go wrong.

Yes, Just don't exceed 150 watts per bulb. I'm using 2 different types of LED bulbs in mine and everything works really well.

Its not the right choice as these bulbs are just normal halogen bulbs diped in a cheap blue color whick block 70% of the light and cause overheating which may damage holders . I dont recomend that bulbs.

Yes, that's why I'd really recommend that you use LED bulbs for this fixture because it does not heat up. You can try checking out this bulb, it's what I've been using and I consider it one of the best bulbs I've purchased. Hope it helps!

They should work fine... These LED'S are a bit bigger then you standard bulb. Just make sure to get your positive and negative right or they won't work.
