Hi! I am looking to build some low heat up lights to create mood lighting for high school gym so I need the bulb to be really bright. Would this do?

No not for a gym. It does not spread light well enough for your application. For small to medium size room I would say go for it. It does not have enough light output for it.

they make a 12 watt led(around $30) that plugs into the wall, and it is bright, but you would still need 15+ to light up a gym.

Thanks for asking. I don't know the size of the area and ceiling height, and 9 watt is not really a lot. I think with a bunch of these bulbs installed, not so far away from each other, and with good reflectors you may be able to get a decent brightness. I also don't know if a single remote will be able to control multiple bulbs to adjust the colors. There are higher Watt RGB Leds available and of course, higher the watts, larger the heat sinks and amount of money you have to pay.

Probably I am using them inside a waterproof fixture outside to create a nautical effect. They do just fine and do not seem to heat upl The only issue I have is when they are turned off and then back on they automatically start to cycle through all the colorors instead of going back to the original. Means I have to reset them to the color I want each time.

the bulb works real well for lighting a small area. I use it for a back splash of light on the wall behind me on a stage. It has great color and the remote control works good to change the color, but if you are going to use it for a large area you will need several.

I probably wouldn't, but it depends on how many you plan to put up. For a gymnasium, I might try http://www.amazon.com/Ledcreelight-LED-XE-Household-Replacement/dp/B00ATK8OZO/ref=sr_1_12?s=hi&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1377109990&sr;=1-12&keywords;=5000k+white+LED+bulb instead.

Not unless you want especially dim mood lighting or are planning on using a lot these. It's bright, but not nearly as bright as a 150W incandescent, let alone the fluorescent or MH lamps usually used in gyms.
1344648
they are fairly bright, but still only a 9 watt bulb, not sure this would work for a gym, also the 3 of these I bought did not work properly, as the smooth setting (which I prefer for my mood lighting) did not cycle through all of the colors
1344649
Probably not. While bright enough in usual settings, it ptobably does not have the power you will need.

depends on the bulbs. heat lamp black lights will melt it. im using compact florescents that dont produce much heat. i would side on caution and say it would melt it
1851684
no it won't melt if you use cfl 105 watts it's cooler, compared to the standard bulb but don't let the bulb near curtain or clothes that the time it would create heat but if you still in doubt try to use led bulbs

yes, This is a very good product. You will get powerful LIGHT with LOW Electric use and less heat! because of the low power bulbs. It lights the room like a studio.

Yes. It only produces light equivalent of 65w and uses less and is dimable so as long as you use standard size bulb fixture it should work great.

The light from this fixture is focused downward. I use two fixtures over some heavy equipment. It lights the equipment well, but not the rest of the room. Of course, you'd be trading two bulbs for one, so, at best, it would be half as bright as what you currently have.

Definitely. Using 3 60W equivalent LED bulbs is really bright. This lamp is really pretty, and I highly recommend that you use these bulbs, it worked best for me in terms of lighting and the product quality. It really lasts longer compared to the previous bulbs I've used. I hope it helps! Triangle Bulbs T95123-6 (6pack) - LED Dimmable 60 Watt Equivalent Daylight A19 Light Bulbs, 6 pack

I have it in my bathroom. I think it is bright enough. My bathroom is 7' x 10' and is well lit. If you want it brighter you could always use a higher watt bulb or perhaps LED

This bulb definitely qualifies as bright. I see no reason it will not work in a one tube fixture. The only thing required to make it work is a "black" wire on one end and a "white" wire on the other.

Hello Patricia. I have an overhead kitchen light fixture that used to eat regular incandescent bulbs in a matter of a few months, then compact fluorescent bulbs also in a matter on a few months. I have two of these LED bulbs and they run much cooler. Be aware that they are not as bright but the glass enclosure does not get hot. I barely even gets warm. My answer is Yes.

Yes def....no worries produces a lot of light even with 40 watt bulbs....also gives off a lot of heat

I don't use this particular bulb in my fan; I use the pac lights and don't have a problem with them. Unfortunately depending on your power circuitry you may get momentary flickering, but if it is non-stop, I would get a lower wattage unless you want to pay an electrician to rewire.

I guess it depends on how hot...a regular incandescent bulb is no problem, but anything hotter than that might be suspect. Have you checked the Wells Lamont website? Sorry about that...

It should give more light than a 65 watt incandescent bulb. It is intended to go into a 5 or 6 inch recessed fixture. It is quite bright.

I am useing the flat lightbulb shaped LED bulbs in mine and have had no issues. They are cooler and brighter and it is noticable. The other bulbs were very hot, expensive and delicate.

We are using about 5 LED lightbulbs at 40 wts and it is very bright. I chose to use incandescent lights so that it would be softer. I must mention, that with our dining room lights, we can actually control how bright we would like the room. At high, it is very very bright. At a medium setting, it is still bright. Hope that helps.

if it works, it will be fine. light is not strong however because it is a cfl, not hot either.
