can this bulb be used in an enclosed globe fixture?

This bulb is about the same size as the 60W incandescent bulb (i think the florescent equivalent of that is 15W). If those originally is what powers your globe fixture, this one should fit as well. The socket is the same size, and so are its W x L x H dimensions (compared to the incandescent).

I do not know. I still had the original box this light bulb was in - it does not say anything on it either. But I do have another LED light bulb led 505. On the light bulb itself is written NOT FOR USE IN TOTALLY ENCLOSED LUMINARIES. Assuming if the EVER 10 Watt A 19 LED can't be used in an enclosed fixture it would have that same Note on it - which I couldn't find on my A 19 LED either.

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!

I am not sure. It will depend on how deep you globe is. The bulb measures 3 1/2" after it is screwed in. If your globe is deeper than that then it should work fine. These bulbs burn a lot cooler than incandesant bulbs so should be fine in a globe. Mine are open globes so I do not have any issues.

Personally I wouldn't as I prefer an amber light for asthetics. This is a very bright white, full-spectrum (think sun) bulb. Depending on your fixture it may not be suitable for variable weather and temperature fluctuations.

If you read the VERY fine print on the box, it says "This lamp is not suitable for totally enclosed fixtures". Unfortunately, you cannot find this information anywhere on the Phillips site (or on Amazon). You first have to buy the bulb, take delivery, and read the fine print (on the bottom of the box, no less) before deciding whether to return for a refund or, like we did, repurpose the bulb(s) for use in lamps or other open fixtures. There are other manufacturers out there that DO have LED bulbs that are suitable for enclosed fixtures and damp environments like bathrooms.

Yes. Any enclosed fixed that can use an incandescent light bulb can use this bulb.

Yes, You can use any bulb that you prefer as long as it fits with the base, the fixture's dimension and the maximum wattage allowed. What I use for this one is actually an LED globe bulb. I love it because the lighting is very pleasing in the eyes. Bright yet cozy. Plus, it's really durable, high quality, and energy efficient. Hope it helps!

I believe they are saying a SHORT a19 incandescent bulb, maybe because the globe would be closer to the plastic cage and possibly melt it. A standard a19 should work fine.

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!

I don't think so, because it would need to be protected from direct moisture I'm sure and one of the provisions for use states it cannot be used in enclosed fixtures.

For liability purposes, I doubt if any manufacturer would recommend any bulbs for enclosed fixtures. I have tried 13w (60w replacement) bulbs in enclosed fixtures, without noticeable heat buildups). I wouldn't even think about it in locations that were "on" continuously.

The bulb is well hidden...although I don't use an energy saving bulb in this fixture. I'm sure it would be fine though.

Most LED bulbs should work as long as they're not much larger than a regular incandescent. Only possible problem I can think of is overheating. It's fairly sealed so the heatsinks on some bulbs won't be very effective which could reduce the life of the bulb. Some LEDS warn against using them in enclosed fixtures for this reason. The fixture can also be used just with the metal cage without the glass dome which would allow airflow while still offering some protection.

Yes. However, the bulb shown above here is an incandescent bulb. I'd suggest switching to an LED bulb as it will last maybe 100x longer and use 1/10 the energy. Look for a style with an LED mounted up in the globe and that operates with 7-10 Lumens of warm white light. There are also some with frosted globes which might look even more like a warm incandescent bulb. LED's are initially much more expensive but will be far less over time both in life span and energy use.

Yes, I use an LED globe bulb for this fixture with 350 lumens and the light is just outstanding and bright, but only consumes 5W. It doesn't heat up and it perfectly fits. This bulb is really a good find for this lamp, I highly recommend it Triangle Bulbs T90020 (Pack of 2) G16 Decorative Globe Light Bulbs 300 Lumen 5-watt LED Light Bulb with E26 Base, Color 3000K, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,

I don't see why not. If you can use a normal incandescent bulb in your fixture, you should be able to use this one as well.

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.
