will these hold a regular bulb? like I know they are for the outdoors, but just out of curiosity, would they hold a regular room bulb?

Yes, it's a standard fixture and should take any 120v bulb. I would strongly recommend against using a regular room bulb in any outdoor setting though.

I would suspect so.. Depending on the shape of the "regular room bulb". There is a soft polymer seal for the flood light bulb that keeps the elements out that might be compromised.

I tried a 60w regular bulb and might have been able to get it in but it would really be tight and I was afraid I might break it. A higher wattage bulb might work if it has a longer neck.

Thomas, these have a standard lightbulb socket. Therefore, any lightbulb will fit and work. I use them outdoors with the proper outdoor reflector flood. They are designed so that when I use the correct reflector flood lamp a nice tight waterproof seal is formed. They sit outdoors in the driving rain, and I never have a problem with them.

I bought mine at Lowes. They last, only had to replace one. Any building supply with bulbs should have them.

They are rated for indoor/outdoor use. And enjoy! They are fantastic bulbs.

Yes. They're regular light bulbs and can be used in appropriate light fixtures. Just ensure that your fixture is rated for outdoor use.

These are meant for open use in a chandelier, which is how I have been using them. If they were protected there should be no problem with using them outdoors. They are good bulbs.

I bought these for my outdoor lighting. However, the LED bulb is longer than my light can hold. I modified one to make it fit (not recommended) and found that the light flickered. I don't know if that was due to mine being A/C outdoor lights and the circuit in them does not work as well on A/C. I would check first on how much room you have in your undercabinet fixtures for a longer bulb. These are also bigger in diameter too.

I have mine in a regular light as well as a ceiling fan. I have not had a problem with any of them and I know they have been on for many hours. They seem to last as long as any regular lightbulb.

No special bulbs- I happen to have in the energy efficient ones and they do stick out a wee bit. You may use regular bulbs

I would say give it a try, I do not see any reason these would not work if they fit in the socket. I am not a bulb expert but you can always call Home Depot or Lowe's and they can answer your question better. Good Luck !

Hello,To be honest, I haven't used them outside yet. My fixtures outside are different than inside.

No, an outside fixture that exposes the light bulbs to the weather should not have "regular" bulbs... such bulbs are intended to used inside, protected from the weather. You must use an exterior bulb, easy to find in a flood lamp, also in energy efficient flood/spot bulbs. Be careful to check that the bulb is able to stand up to rain and snow hitting it, even when it is hot. Of course if you put the fixture inside a "box" and shine the light out a window, regular bulbs can be successfully used LOL.

I'm sorry. I don't know. I actually ended up changing my light fixture out and put canned lights in the room. I do get frustrated when all different fixtures take different bulbs. One note about the bulbs- I felt like they went out faster than they should. The manufacturer told me that they aren't meant to be put in a room where the light is only on for short periods, such as a walk-in closet. They did send me replacement bulbs though after I complained to them.

By standard house bulbs I assume you mean tungsten, incandescent bulbs. I have not tried them but they certainly should work.

I'm no bulb expert but, I would assume a 75 watt outdoor bulb would be good. Ask someone at your local hardware store. I'm sure you can find one for under $10.

I use them with enclosed fixtures so far without any issues. However the thing to remember is how they fit dimension wise. My ceiling lights are enclosed and are big enough to accomodate the extra length of the bulb. Also, I have noticed the heat factor is low compared to incandescent bulbs, so in my opinion these bulbs are just fine for enclosed fixtures. Hope this helps

They are the same size as a regular 60 Watt bulb. They are a bit heavier. I have the same setup in my kid's room. They worked fine.

I haven't tried that but I don't know why they wouldn't. They are like a regular light bulb in every sense. Unless you mind the flame pointing down which it does not seem like you would. Just remember they put off no real light, they are for decorative purposes and produce a beautiful glow. I love them and would try it for sure.
