The bulb looks like a great product. Do you need to use it with a particular liquid, or does water work safely?

Hi Ryan! I just use lukewarm tapwater. Provided you live in an area with safe drinking water and the chlorine levels aren't terribly high you should have no problem with tapwater. If you use cold water it'll feel odd inside and you risk getting a cramp. Use warm or tepid water. Though if you want, obviously you could purchase professional enema liquid. Also, I strongly advise you use a bit of lube to help it go in, so the end of it doesn't scrape on the way in. Lube's always a good idea.

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

You don't have to clean it. Just get an bulb from an ear cleaning kit. Turn unit off and squirt vigorously 10-20 bulbs of water into the hole where the stream comes out. Should work like new.

I've never tried it, but keep in mind that it's really moist. I don't see it lighting well or staying lit unless it was dried out.

You should definitely not be looking straight into the bulb when using it. OTOH it's set up so it will only work facing down on horizontal surfaces. If you try to turn it sideways, it will turn itself off. But if you want to be absolutely safe, protective glasses are available.

Use rubber, latex or neoprene gloves . . . or clean cotton ones. The object is not to leave any dirt or especially oil (from your skin or anything else) on the bulb. It will extend the life of the bulb. By the way, I use a dimmer (Lutron Maestro) with these and, not only is indirect lighting nice for mood, it saves electricity and allows the bulbs to last longer (not as hot). Bright when I need it, otherwise not. Best wishes.

You will have to purchase that separate and it is easy to access the bulb...it is on the black base this tank has two parts...the clear tank and black base ..so it will never get wet... I hope this helps

I bought 2 of these lamps and they work good. You have to make sure they are pushed all the way in. And try not to touch the glass on the bulb with your fingers. ( the oils on your fingers can shorten the life of the bulb). You might have to play with it to make sure both ends have a good connection .

Hi Ellyn, buy the unit, its fabulous. No need to worry about it overheating, it won't, it's just like a cfl light bulb. Don't look at it for any length of time tho', I read that's not good for the eyes. I put it inside my nylons to kill any bacteria in there, as well as my shoes daily. It's a great deal and the company will take your call and help you if needed. They were so nice to me when I called because I had a question. Take care, d

There is a rubber piece that covers the bulb and seals it for protection against the rain. I will say that over time, if the light is pointed up quite a bit, water will eventually seep in. That being said, it takes quite some time and all of the brands that I have tried do it as well.

it should work fine... but the seal isnt necessarily the best, therefore i recommend that you use a energy saving bulb instead of incandescent (less dangerous).

Remove the bulb, screw the adapt and replace bulb;Be careful of that bulb will not be exposed to water

The lamp is not protected against moisture, so my guess is that it probably would be risky. My application was in a lawn tractor which is stored in a garage and so has no serious moisture exposure. If the outside fixture is well sealed against moisture, it may survive. If you want to gamble less use one of the LEDs which are completely enclosed in the glass or plastic "bulb".

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.

No. Don't get it wet. It needs to be compliant with FL1 standards. You need to spend about $30 more to get a good waterproof light. But believe me it's worth it!

Let me first say that if Amazon sends you a light that works will be a small miricile. The sent me 2 used worthless lights. Let's say they work just for kicks and grins. If you put it out in the weather water will get in and not good things happen with water and electricity. The controls are on the bottom and it's designed to have the water flow with gravity.Good luck.Larry H.

I use watercolours this lamp works well for me, don't see any reason why it wouldn't work for oils.
