Can you use the new energy conserving light bulbs in ceiling fixtures with plastic/glass covers over them
Are there any hazards in using the new energy saving lightbulbs (other than
breakage if they drop & release mercury)? Is it safe to use them in a
ceiling fixture with a standard plastic enclosure.How about in a
combination ceiling fan/light fixture with a glass cover?Each fixture
currently takes a maxium of one 60 watt incandescent bulb. If l put new
energy saving bulbs in them, can l use ones with a higher light output?
read the box. Some CF lights are not made to be enclosed where
as others are. TPC is a brand I have had good luck with and are made for
several applications.
Yes, you can use one with the 'highest' output, as this should
only be about 45 watts or so, and it should give 75 watts of light.
I have used them in my ceiling fan, (mainly because I wanted to see if
they lasted long enough..the ones that they first came out, was very
dissapointing!).
You can use them in ''enclosed'' areas also, with a globe over them, as they are the size of a ''normal'' bulb, and will fit nicely in the globe or shade. I wish you well. Jesse
I really dont think it is a problem at all. I have one in my
ceiling fan which is just 1 bulb and a glass covering and my parents use
ceiling fans with 4 of them.
