Will this work in enclosed outdoor fixture (post light,base down)-- bottom of fixture is open

I have 3 of thses at my workbench. While very well built, they do have small (about 1/16") holes between each LED leading to the inside. My concern would be extremely fowl weather, or spraying them with a water hose. I wouldn't use these here on the Front Range outdoors. But in So.Cal. on a patio with no fear of kids having a water balloon fight? You might be OK.

yes, it will work . the bulb can be used in both outdoor and indoor setting as long as its in a full or semi closed enclosurecheers

yes I have had them in a RAB brand post light rated for 120v but have a 12v transformer and they are great!

This fits between post and light fixture. The problem I had was trying to lower the sensitivity

As long as it can "see" the light, and assuming you have it protected against the possibility of standing water, it'll work fine. I had mine on the deck for weeks while figuring out where I wanted it to "live."Great unit!

Anything is possible, you would have to screw a threaded hollow pipe into the base of the light,and then construct a pedestal for the bottom, all stuff you can pick up a a big box store

The top and bottom are open so the bulbs would be exposed. I don't think they should be used outdoors but technically they can

Bottom, however, I wired the fixture incorrectly and mine only works with a switch. The wiring instruction on this unit are not very good.

This is meant to be mounted on a pole with your fixture attached to the top. I don't think that it would work.

Yes, it will work fine. I have mine in an outdoor fixture that turns off and on with a dusk to dawn switch (just like a timer) and it works great.

As Stair Climber said, the package says not to put it in any enclosed fixture. I have mine enclosed in an outdoor lamp post but it does have vent holes at the top. It would probably be too bright for indoor use anyways.

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.

I'm sorry, but I can no longer answer your question. I had installed the fixture in a patch of hasta, near a walkway. When a service person stepped into the area, the lamp base got broken. He threw out the base, and dug a hole for the post and filled around it.

Sort of. You see the picture with the 2 flanges sticking out. That piece fits on a 4x4 post but I had to shave off those 2 flanges. One light stopped working after a few months because water got into the top. THey are not very weather resistant.

Don't think it's because your using outdoors, it's labeled for indoor or out door use. I use two of them in my outdoor security lights, and have not had any problems. My lights are protected by the roof overhang, but even if they weren't the fixture is sealed well enough to keep the weather out. it sound like others have mentioned, a loose bulb, or a loose electrical wire connection

It will work fine in an outdoor fixture that opens at the bottom (as long as it fits in the fixture OK). You may want to confirm that the bulb will fit (length mostly) in this application. As others have noted it's a bit long. I have a couple of them in fixtures that are completely wide open so it's of no consequence in my application. Just be sure to confirm that the overall size (width and length) are fine to fit inside the fixture. As far as it the bulb itself working in the fixture, yes it'll work fine. I really only think you'll run into an issue with fit. If it fits, you'll be good to go. It will work fine in an outdoor fixture that opens at the bottom (as long as it fits in the fixture OK).

This is an email reply I received from LEDwholesalers : While this item may be used outdoors, direct exposure to rain is usuallynot recommended. For example, installing this bulb in a fixture underthe eave would be better. Make sure that the bulb is oriented downwards(does NOT have to be vertical down) to prevent water from collecting atthe light socket.

On the package it says: "Not suitable for totally enclosed fixtures". The keyword here is "totally". I won't get too worried about using it in my enclosed ceiling lights. As long as the fixture is not air-tight, it should be fine.

Correct the light fixture sits flush against a paver wall. It is not a post light. hope you like yours, I LOVE MINE.
