at this parking garage of an apartment building in studio city, california the lights are now led. it shows that all residential lighting will be led by 2018-20. ;)
How many of these LED bulbs were there? I would think they should at least protect the lamp somehow Against theft, vandals and the weather
And also that fixture is meant for indoor use only
If they spent $30 per lamp I guess they don't care if the lamp "Walks" away
It's in a parking garage so it's protected from the weather. I'm not sure how the heat of california will help this lamp. IMO, stick 160W SBMV lamps in them lol. If i could redo the lighting i'd probably use 100W PSMH Lithonia light fixtures as seen here. and wire run them when needed.
Even if it's just a glass shade and open bottom it looks better than just a bare bulb. I like your idea of drilling holes in the plastic globe for ventilation. A series of holes near the neck of the gobe (cool air will sink into the holes and hot air will rise out of the holes) and then one small driphole on the bottom jsut in case water somehow gets in.
