are these bulbs designed for fully enclosed light fixtures?

Hello. If there is some ventilation there should be no problem. But using a complete sealed fixture (like IP65), this could overheat the bulb. Your technolamp Team.

I know from my own use that the "bulb" doesn't get too hot to touch, but the ceramic base of it does get hot. Personally, I wouldn't put one in a fully enclosed lighting fixture for that reason. It IS a great light bulb, however. Wonderful lighting in my desk lamp.

If you mean are they smaller than a regular lamp light bulb, the answer is yes. They are set in a small base. Hope this helps!! =]

It will work in a fully enclosed fixture but does not have to be fully enclosed

Yes. I have them in multiple fixtures that require the bulbs in that orientation.

All the bulb I have installed in my fixtures at home are CFL whether in enclosed or open fixtures. I always read de instructions on the package. Some packages say "do not use in enclosed fixtures" others say nothing. If it says nothing I use them in enclosed fixtures. I normally don buy CFL bulbs that restrict their use.

No - these are standard Edison base bulbs. These are not the tiny base typically used for chandelier. They are beautiful bulbs though.

1.) yes (and they seem to last forever) and 2.) it would depend upon the side of your enclosed fixture, of course. The bulb looks to be about 4 inches long.

Ordinary affordable LEDs cannot be put in a fully-enclosed fixture, like those old style globes that took incandescents. The reason is that heat is the enemy of LEDs; fully enclosed, an LED bulb will not last its claimed 22 years. One company, Switch Lighting makes a more expensive bulb that is supposed to deal with the excess heat issue. They are sold here at Amazon.

The ones I got were 6" deep with no cover. So you could put in longer bulbs but they would stick out.

I ordered this lightbulb over 6 months ago, and it's in an enclosed fixture. So, yes it works in an enclosed fixture. At least it has for me.

Not that I am aware of, I purchased two bulbs for my Hinkley landscape lighting and the bulbs are completely enclosed in a watertight enclosure. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I believe these bulbs need to be in an open fixture...They can be placed in a dome fixture if it's not full enclosed.

No. The packaging that is with the bulb states "Do not use in enclosed fixtures", under "CAUTIONS & WARNINGS". LED lights fail if they become too hot, that's why it has cooling fins at the base of the bulb. An enclosed fixture would trap the heat.

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.

No, these light bulbs are full light bulb sized, standard like a table lamp or light fixture.Side note... These do not like to be on a dimmer. I put them on a light with a dimmer switch and they burned the switch out.

No, I don't think so... in fact, the lamp these fit for me had a completely enclosed bulb area... in other words, nothing was left open. Sorry.
