do these emit a nonglaring light of 0.05 candelas per square inch of area or less? I want to be able to use these in california safely.

I cannot say the exact amount of light they emit, but it is not an intrusive light. I have them all around the underside of my motorhome and they just light up the ground to a soft blue glow.

I have used them on two IC rated can lights with 65 watt Halogen with no issues. They will not burn. I've installed 24 of them

I'm not sure... I used these to illuminate palm trees. They are so tiny and really cast the light far... I love them...

they are bright enough to blind oncoming traffic, a lot would depend on how you have them aimed. i installed mine in a winch bumper, it is hard to tell if it the lights themselves or if it is the bumper causing issues with the light pattern, but I am unimpressed with these lights. I purchased a set of 5 inch KC fogs for the other mounts in the bumper and they work very nicely.

I certainly think so - I'd say they are about equivalent to a 90 watt bulb in brighteness, and produce light that is closer to daylight than incandescent... 4000K and 650 lumens. I'm using 2 in an L shaped hallway with 10' ceilings, and they are actually a bit too bright for the application.

I don't know. They are not very bright. I use it as a night light in a hall fixture.

Wattage is not an issue. I've had some almost double. But do not waste your money on these. The low beams only last about a month max and within a few days the foil tips will start to peel.

I do not suggest these as actual lights, particularly in lowbeam application. Output is very minimal.

These do get hot, but if you stay within the max wattage recommendations for your can lights you should be just fine. They will affect the room temp, but not enough to measure or feel unless you are within inches of the light.

I don't notice that they give off a lot of heat. We have them in our glass globe pendant lights over our kitchen island and another set in our sconces in our family room (up high.) Not sure I would notice the heat factor based on the location but I think they are actually more subdued than regular bulbs. They cast a really nice yellow/goldish hue.

I have not had a problem with the candelabra bulbs in my ceiling fan. I get lots of light from the ceiling fan in my living room. The only problem I have encountered is "flickering light' due to movement of the ceiling fan. Since my ceiling fan light bulbs point out at an angle, I have more than adequate light. Sorry I couldn't help you out more.

it puts out an initial 16,000 lumens. but the light fades very quickly. the good news is that there's no heat generated from the bulbs, so they can be close to the plants. I recommend about 2-3 inches away (no further) from the foliage. I will also add that I was skeptical about fluorescent lighting systems entirely, until it tried these. I am impressed. just keep them close to the plants. (-:

Yes and NO!! Stay as far away from these as you possibly can!!!! Every one of the 10 yes that's TEN of these we purchased FAILED!!! within 2 months. And they put out much less light than they claim. I took all and rebuilt with something different. The best you can do is buy LED based systems as they generally work. Had very good luck with them. Can be more expensive but last. There are some larger LED systems that have the single 10, 20, etc. watt LED lamps that put out more than 500 watt floods. PLEASE!!! do NOT buy these! Hope this helps.

I have an Agrosun FLC32D grow light next to me as I write--it's in a standard-size table lamp with an ivory fabric shade covering it. I've had really good results with these. My place is surrounded by trees, so it's dark inside. I haven't had a plant in the living room die from lack of light since I bought these. Occasional inattention, yes; lack of light, no.

I can not say directly on account of lumen's. I will say these work great for vegatative growth. They put out plenty of lumen's for that. I wouldnt go any further then veg. I measure lumen output after 18 inches and greater thats when you get a true output number.

It says right on the neck of the fixture NOT FOR USE IN ENCLOSED LUMINARY. Many commentators stress how little heat comes from these bulbs. That is true on the lighted side. The backside or the side in the enclosed can is another matter. If you feel the backside cooling fins you'll soon realize that plenty of heat is generated, so much so that inside an enclosed can they'd be too hot to touch. That is undoubtedly the reason for the disclosure stated in the first sentence. What is at issue is the build up of heat. Will it trip the cutout? Will it affect the electronics that make the LED function? I have these same lights in enclosed cans in my house. For years I had halogen in the same cans. The cans are rated for insulation coverage. At the very least I'd expect a drop in life expectancy. It'd be nice to have a little vent in the can to vent the heat.

I have no exact way to measure the beam width of these lights but I would have to say that they are certainly closer to 30 degrees than to eight. Also, I would say that these do not fit what I would normally call a spot light. Usually this means a light that puts out only a bright spot with little or no surrounding flare. These lights do have some hot spot but they also have a good deal of width. Even when properly aimed on the road they will still illuminate not just the road but also the surrounding area as well as overhead trees etc. Probably their best feature is the intense whiteness of the light.
