Can a heat bulb/ "flush" (non convex) intrared bulb be used in this unit?

No. A maximum of 75 Watts is permitted. R30, BR30, PAR30L, and PAR30LN bulbs only. You may also use the equivalent LED bulb, but no heat bulb.

I am using both heat and uv bulbs for this this type of dome for several months. I think you can you both without any further problem.

Yes the bulb can be used in recessed fixtures where the fixture allows for sufficient heat dissipation and airflow (just the same as for a standard 60W incandescent bulb), and is rated for an A21 bulb size. See http://store.lifx.co/pages/e26-27-edison-a21-info-sheet for the exact dimensions.

The two side tabs on the socket will not let the bulb seat. File off or use a Dremel motor tool. and the non Verilix bulbs work fine.

Mine had a standard a-type Edison socket, like a standard light built. You could certainly use one of the modern LED bulbs designed to fit standard fixtures.

Yes you can put 2 units for a flush fit. The curved leg is only on the inside portion.

Yes that would be possible. The bulbs & reflector are protected with a plexiglass cover that slides onto the light from one end. The light is essentially flat on its bottom. It is cooled with 2 fans so there really is no heat build up on the bottom. I had the same problem and ended up placing my Satelite fixture at a 45 degree angle against the front legs held in place with velcro thus blocking the light from the front and giving me more options for viewing the tank when the main lights are off.

You would need a separate fixture. This only regulates temperature and flow.

Can be used in any fixture, any position where high heat and high wattage bulbs are required. Note that this will make the overall length of the bulb considerably longer, so be sure you have clearance.

Yes you can however, do not exceed the wattage, the unit gets hot with prolong usage, and most importantly, only use "flood light" type bulbs. It's helps to keep the unit cooler and it projects the maximum amount of lighting on your target area.

yes, but it wont be necessary unless you are trying to reduce the heat output. If you are using standard heat lamp bulbs (not the red lens type), you will be getting great light and heat at the same time. This unit has amazing light and heat output.

I don't think that would work. The housing is just large enough to allow adequate ventilation around the bulb. Maybe 3/16" clearance all around. The heat lamp bulb doesn't direct heat like a light bulb directs light. It tends to radiate in all directions after it exits the fixture.Hope this helps.

No your bulb has a wide plug, not a narrow base like these particular bulbs do.

Yes. The bulb is safe to use in any standard socket/holder as a spotlight. It gives heat and some ventilation is necessary to prevent overheating.

Each head has screw in sockets just like "regular" light bulbs. I don't see why you would not be able to put in different color temp lamps so long as you don't overload the power specs. However, you could easily create a different inside and front diffuser panel out of a warmer colored material. Those panels are pretty easy to swap out. That would be much simpler (I believe) than changing CFL bulbs. If you really wanted to make it simple, just capture the images with a warmer white balance setting.

I tried using some LED bulbs in this lamp, and they did not fit. To be sure, not all LED bulbs are the same shape, but the issue was that the bulbs I tried to use had a flared ceramic rim just above the screw thread; that ceramic rim was too wide for the harp on this lamp, preventing the bulb from being screwed in. You may find some LED bulbs that fit, but I didn't.

It fits into the inside of the socket, just like a lightbulb. If the socket allows for a regular lightbulb to fit in, it should also fit. Whether or not it should be used in a recessed bulb is perhaps something that you should ask the manufacturer. There may be some heat allowances that prohibit its use in a recessed light fixture. If you are using large bulbs in the recessed fixture, I'm not sure how much clearance you will have from side to side as you swivel - be sure to check your side clearance as swiveling the bulb brings it closer to the edge.
