    Damn. There are no LED’s that can be put into enclosures, right? I suppose that’s a worthwhile sacrifice to avoid idiots from sticking to incandescents.

      There are LED bulbs rated for this. I’ve got several in fixtures like that.

      I use all LEDs in my home and aside from the dollar store LEDs lasting less long in 2 bulb enclosures, all the ones in the ceiling boob lights are doing fine. I recently got better bulbs that as a nice bonus are a warm color temperature and I’ll see how they do. the nicer LEDs have circuity that can reduce their output to reduce heat output if they detect they’re being cooked from what I understand
