Can feit led bulbs be used in enclosed fixtures.

Written by feit electric. The above statement does not mean that cfl and incandescent bulbs can be used in place of led lights in case of enclosed light fixtures. Yes as long as the fixture does not have a rubber gasket. Using led lights in light fixtures is not fatal or lethal.

It may still be possible to use your regular led bulb in the enclosed fixture but with a shortened life span and the potential for premature dimming. In the open air that s not a concern. The other reason to buy enclosed fixture rated bulbs is to use them outside. Yes just because a light bulb is rated for enclosed fixtures doesn t mean it requires an enclosed fixture.

Or perhaps it is better to say that they should not be used. Led bulbs need ventilation and a rubber gasket would prevent proper ventilation. To use a bulb in an enclosed fixture it has to be designed to handle the heat of the enclosed space. Because totally enclosed fixtures do not allow air to circulate around the lamp it causes heat to build up which can lead to performance issues.

It is not advisable because the main reason for choosing led lights over cfl or incandescent bulbs will be diluted. Though cfls and led bulbs do not produce nearly as much heat as incandescents they are more sensitive to heat which can affect their performance.
