Can these bulbs be put into an enclosure?

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.

They are not rated for outside. The vents would allow weather to get in to the socket. You could enclose them but the stock lamp burns very hot. I have replaced the lamp with an LED par 38 and they burn much cooler. Still not weather proof but could be containable.

These bulbs are not sealed like the standard bulb (having a glass cover all around). If you use these LED's, they will need to be in a protective lens cover that is water tight. Also, you may want to use dielectric grease on the socket area to prevent corrosion.

Like the other gentlemen said, they fit tight. You must be careful not to bend and damage the bulb while pushing it in, hold it carefully and purposefully close to the base, not from the top and push it straight in.

You can move them. I would not buy this again. The bulbs are extremely hard to put in and take out.

The light cannot be completely enclosed, there needs to be some ventilation. There are other products that are ventilated, they will have gray plastic vent bands dissecting the bulb into four sections. The ventilated bulbs can be used in an enclosed fixture if indicated on the container.

I don't see why not. As long as they are small enough to fit- a majority of all light bulbs that are made now are energy saver of some sort. They do come with light bulbs included.

I don't see why that would be a problem. They aren't like florescent bulbs that need to stay warm or take forever to warm up if they're cold. LED's don't care much about ambient temperature.

I don't believe so. These are made to fit a circular hole with an existing light.

They came as a package of 2 bulbs. However, I would not put them in a place where moisture can get to them, the electronics are not sealed. The bulb shown in the link below might work better for an outside location as it is sealed (I use it as a porch light for a motorhome).

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

You can put hids in these. You need 25w and to make sure they will be short enough to fit.

yes, they are fairly small and fit in (if you mean something like this http://www.amazon.com/Yosemite-Home-Decor-JK101-11SN-2-Light/dp/B003ARSZWU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396141276&sr=8-1&keywords=ceiling+fixture), however enclosed fixture might diminish the output.

I'll say yes, with this caveat: Like any halogen bulb these things get hot and they really should not be used in an enclosed fixture with no airflow or very bad airflow. I put these in a chandelier in my parent's house that really did not have good airflow, just a small opening at the top; and in that situation the lifetime of the bulbs is shortened.

Sure can. I have four 60-watt equivalent bulbs in mine right now. There is plenty of room inside the globes...you could even put larger ones in there.

The light needs to be mounted on a junction box. I don't think the bulbs can be replaced.

They are a standard 4' T5 fixture. So though I've not done it, it you should be able to run any temperature bulb in these fixtures.
