Is this suitable for the hole house or for point of use application? What flow rate will ths unit accept? Whate is the life of the bulb?

I use it for a whole house application, 2 full baths, and have no issues. I forget the flow rate and bulb is recommended to be replaced every year... It beeps when time to replace. If your pipe is 3/4" already than this should work since it has 3/4" connections.

It was installed for our whole house, although there are just the two of us now. The bulb lasts for a year and has a digital countdown meter on the filter to show when replacement is needed. Sorry, I don't remember the flow rate, but they come in different flow rated sizes.

It handles the whole house without any problem. Bulb lasts one year and then it no longer produces the proper level of UV.

As long as you use an outdoor extension cord. My bulb only has four months of continuous service time.

The fixture has been outside installed for about 45 days. We used one of the new LED bulbs(about $30.00 at the home centers). The base was sealed at installation. I can think of at least six rainy,windy days. We have not encountered any problems with moisture or bugs.

Go ahead... it is OK. the devide energizes a dry relay contact. you can use any kind of fixture with it up to the specified rating... a LED light is far beyond the max drain current.

I tried it with the fluorescent type of bulb and they flickered. It did work with an incandescent flood, but I wanted something that used less energy. So, I removed it and it is sitting in a box until I can figure out what I want to do with it--give it away or use it.

I'm using a 60 watt long-lasting mercury bulb that lasts forever. Good luck in finding a web-site for Ledu Corp; you can get an address by Googling; office shows being in Trumbull, Ct. My guess is that you should stick with the 50/100/150 watt 3-way bulb that Ledu suggests using; my educated guess is that you are asking that wiring to handle too much heat when trying to use as much as 250 watts of energy. Stick with the original mfgr. suggestion of 50/100/150 watts or write them a letter; you can find thir P.O. box on the internet.

The specified lifetime I believe is 10,000 hours under normal usage. I'm not sure if "Base Up" is considered normal usage. I say this because the electronics are in the base, heat rises, and this may degrade the normal lifetime of the bulb. Be sure there is plenty of airflow around the base and the bulb.

Any indication that this fixture is suitable for wet locations would be a mistake. The unit is only for dry locations.

It would be better to use a LED with an IP44 rating than these IP30 rated LEDs. Otherwise it should say suitable for wet locations.

I am replacing the current bulb which draws approximately .9 amps 12V DC. I would guess that the draw would be 0.2 amps or less. By the way these bulbs are bright and seem to be high quality. My application is for the low voltage landscape lights.

You can use it for a resistive load such as a halogen light bulb. Minimum load is 20 Watts. Will not run with zero load or less than 20 Watts. Unit I have works perfectly on a 40 Watt load. It is used every day.

I used a 150 watt bulb without a issue. By the way, you can get this at Mennards for a lot less.

Mine have lasted over 2 years thus far, 24/7 usage and I have two units. I highly reCommend this, you aren't going to find a bulb that will last half as long, either way. It's a piece of mind.

It's an LED on a circuit board, thus not practical for replacement by the average person, even though its accessible. I'm presuming the life of the unit would be something like 20000 hours (2.25 years continuous), based on other LED bulbs, but that's just an educated guess.

you are ok w/ respect to wattage; however, plse bear in mind that this is a very large bulb and bulb needs wide fixture & room "to breathe" for best function; also make sure that shade is wide enough for this bulb's dimensions with extra room "to breathe"......

I'm using my Reptisun bulb in an aquarium hood. Just make sure you're ordering the correct size and wattage.

Not sure but my Fixture (Not the bulb) died 6 months after I installed it. Was on a timer to run for 9 hours per day.
