Why is this bulb "Not good"? Aren't they perfectly safe in a landscape lighting system on a GFI circuit?

Not sure where this question is coming from, and although I'm not an electrician, will provide some feedback. The bulbs are fully sealed with the two posts exposed. Thats a normal configuration for this type bulb and should be fine in landscape lighting especially with GFI. My use of these in outdoor lighting has not been an issue.

They are not to bad.. Feit make a 60w equivalent, but not that easy to find. Try EARTH LED if you are in US as their shipping to Canada is more than the bulb cost.

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. Hope it helps (Pack of 4) G25 LED Bulb 6W, Warm white, 3000K, 40W Globe Bulb Incandescent Replacement, clear Cover, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,

By the time they burn out (they are solid state - no delicate filament in a vacuum) the bulb, and you, will be ready to be thrown out!! You an always buy another one at that time if you still need it. If faulty, return for a refund.

This has never happened to mine. Sounds like a bad light. I personally think they are great!

I have 2 of these bulbs and they both work well, but I did figure out that they need to be in a single on off type socket{not a 3 way lamp socket}I hope this helps you.

I don't know what the manufacturer would say to that. I do not have that issue however I would test one bulb in a water proof socket grounded properly. the bulb should be OK if the water is not sprayed directly onto the bulb. A shielded fixture which is protected against short circuit should protect the bulb. Do you have lights inside your misted area? If yes proceed with caution, if no I would get an electricians opinion first. Good luck

Hello I'm using an older model installed around the 90s.I bought these new bulbs thinking that there wouldn't be a problem, turns out I was wrong.Sorry I can't help you though

I have two setup, both on CF bulbs. I have 8 bulbs on one circuit, and one of the bulbs I noticed flickers for a few minutes after you turn them off. Something new I found out, when the power goes out, then comes back on, the lights on these units come on with the power.

As long as the fixture is rated for a 100 Watt Incandescent, you'll be just fine.These instantly emit a brilliant 1700 Lumens - perfect for outdoor. Bad part is the relatively short 750 hour life. "Double life" bulbs last longer, but you lose a few hundred lumens.

Hi I never got that far as to seeing if they are as bright or brighter then standard bulb, because while inspecting the fit and finish of the wiring connectors I noticed inconsistent quality. The heat shrinked connector joints were done one was done properly and the other was not even close. So I did not want to even risk it.

I have not used any of my several adapters outdoors. Perhaps contacting the MFGR would address the safety/suitability of the adapter itself. As with the other responders, water would be my main concern so I would at least protect from rain/snow fall - temperature may also affect the adapter. The bulbs used are another consideration.

Hey Donald this is Mark, I have used these bulbs now for seven months with no burn outs. I think they are rated for 12v to 24v. They use about 3 watts. Good Luck Mark.

Don't know--I use them outside in our landscape lights. These are not screw-in lights--they have two prongs on them.

it may be because there is not enough resistance with just a couple of LED bulbs. I have the switch on my front yard with 6 LED lights without any issue. The only other thing I can think of is some LED's are polarity sensitive. They work either way, but if the nutural and line are reversed (and the fixture isn't grounded) it might flicker. Wish I could be more help...

Per the description, this bulb is 10-30 volt DC. If your landscape lighting is DC (working off of a battery), it would work. But if your lighting plugs into a household plug, it is AC and you will need a bulb that runs off AC power.Use the search for led bulbs for landscape lighting. There are some that are 12V AC that might work. I don't know what kind of base your lights take.

I am using the same bulb in my outdoor lights and have no issues. That being said i don't remember the box markings but worst case scenario is it just won't work if it actually needs 85 - 265v and you put it in a 12v system.
