However, if it is a very enclosed fixture, the LED lamp may not be cooled as well as it expects. Some LEDs are rated for "base down" applications only and not enclosed, recessed, ceiling mount, base up applications. The fixture would be fine - but the 5 W LED might overheat and fail early. Usually the LED portion is fine, it's actually the drive circuit that fails. All too often long before the million hour life rating of the LEDs. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
