can i use this in a ceiling light like a regular light bulb?

that is the best spot... in a can light pointing down... a cone shaped bulb like this will only project light in one direction, in a lamp all you'd get is a bright circle on the ceiling, buy cone shaped for ceiling mounts and round bulbs for lamps.. I bought a few of these and the red color stopped working within a few minuets, and actually burned part of the circuit board assay (smoked).. The blue and green still work great, but all the shades of light that are generated from combinations of two or three bulbs flicker too much to be used..

It fits in a regular light bulb socket. I think you could use it in a wa sconce, but if you could diffuse the light behind frosted glass it would give a more radiant glow. If you plan on aiming it directly toward your eye, like any bulb it might be a bit too much. ( although it can be dimmed with the remote quite dramatically)

If you have standard size light bulbs in your ceiling fan this will not work because they have a much smaller socket. I use them in my sons night lights

I would say yes. We use them in lamps but I don't see why you couldn't use them in hall ceiling fixtures or outdoor lighting.

Yes, you could use a regulars bulbs "yellow light", I am using a regular fluorescent "white light".

Yes, you can use a regular light switch. That's what we've done with no problem.

I don't see why not, this is a dome light also and uses less power than the traditional bulb light.

There is a converter for flame light to regular light bulb, can you use these to get a brighter light?

I have not tried that due to comparability issues withj fixtures inside my home with similar bulbs. I would ask Philips. This fixture can dim when there's no motion and that feature may not work right with the bulb

Yes, you can use this bulb in place of a 'regular' screw-in incandescent or fluorescent bulb. It is a little larger than a regular bulb so may not fit in small fixtures. I put this bulb on my front porch, it's great - lights up at night when anyone approaches. No more fumbling for keys in the dark or wasting energy leaving lights on all night. I'm buying more.

My son is a licensed electrician and he states it is designed to wire into an electrical box in the ceiling. It does not have a long enough wire to plug into the wall. It would require rewiring the entire light, but - of course - it would void the manufacturers warranty.

Yes. I originally used a 42watt CFL bulb in and it worked fine, however it was too bright for the room so I switched it out with a 23 watt CFL which is equivalent to 100w incandescent.

You could use a fluorescent bulb that works in a standard lamp. I use a LED bulb in mine.

Not a good idea if the ceiling fan has an enclosed cover. These bulbs are halogen and get hot and have a small candelabra base. I don't think your ceiling fan has a candelabra base.

Yes, I really like these because you can use a regular light bulb. The first one I had lasted nearly 7 years. It also comes in brown if you prefer that color.

Should be ok. The light is about a inch smaller then a standard bulb. U can get it in blue-red also.

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