Is this LED bulb enclosure approved?

Don't know about 'enclosure approved' but, both the external box and the bulb stem carry the US UL Approved labels.

We did not put it in an enclosure, nor do I believe that this use is mentioned in the literature provided. That said it is a very cool running light, approved for indoor and outdoor use. I can not see any reason why it would not work efficiently in an enclosure. I can say it has already lasted twice as long as the old style bulbs in rather severe weather.

No. Nothings is marked with UL approved. Very well made ceramic adaptor. Nothing can burn on it so I consider them very safe. I have usdd these for a few months and I am very happy. It seems like I was replacing the expensive original bulbs every other month. Made in China and at this price they wouldn't pay for the UL testing to get that rating. I would buy the same ones again.

Yes. The bulb is safe to use in any standard socket/holder as a spotlight. It gives heat and some ventilation is necessary to prevent overheating.

Yes it is. We recently installed some dimmable under-counter led lighting and the manufacturer said this one is one of the few that had been tested with their product to be fully compatible. Works like a charm for us.

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.

Im not sure. Ive recently switched to led for vegg. The 8 bulb fixture raised the temps almost 15 degrees and sucked out every bit of moisture. If u have a very large space its not a problem. It was for me tho.

Thanks! Just wanted to make sure it was ok for my Surefire LED lights. Thanks again!

The threaded area is made of plastic so temperature is their main concern. LED's should be fine.

I suppose if the wattage is not exceeded, which is not an LED issue. The bulb base has to be like a standard incandescent bulb base

these bulbs are not intended for use in enclosed can light fixtures. a statement on this is included on the product packaging

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.

Yes. UL logo is stamped on the base of the bulb as well as RoHS & FCC compliant.

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.

We used LED bulbs and haven't had any issues. We LOVE this light and the other lights we got through Amazon for our barn.

I don't know. I used it with a LED bulb [100 watt equivalent] & had no problem.

I'm using them as vanity light, but there's no reason they couldn't be mounted in any orientation or even in an enclosure. On the contrary, I would actually say these bulbs are preferable for enclosures since they are only 6 watts and generate much less heat than a standard bulb...

I don't really know, but I would assume it's possível as long as the bulb is somehow protected
