Re: FIRST Fundraiser: Selling LED "Lightbulbs"

Eric:

I had the same thought as you regarding the use of these in multi-bulb fixtures where access is inconvenient.

Unfortunately, the manufacturer specifically states "Do not use in enclosed fixtures". I am guessing that although low power, they are much less tolerant to increased temperatures than incandescent bulbs, and any temperature rise would adversely affect reliability.
