LED bulb in enclosed recessed fixture in shower?
Comments (2)Is it a 2- or 4-pin CFL fixture with integral ballast, or just a standard incandescent fixture with an Edison screw base (or a bi-pin GU24) fitted with a CFL bulb? If the latter, you can change to a LED retrofit bulb as long as it doesn't have a warning not to use it in totally enclosed fixtures, like the Cree bulbs....See MoreLED bulbs in flushmount fixtures
Comments (1)I would be leery of using that fixture with LEDs. I have been experimenting quite a bit with both dedicated LED fixtures and with several different LED bulbs. Having said that, if you were determined to use that fixture, I would then only advise a 40 watt equivalent bulb, since less wattage equals less heat. And heat is what kills LEDs. As you can tell on one thread I started, I am a big fan of purpose built LED fixtures, and with your budget there are plenty of them out there. Bear in mind on the price, LED fixtures don't use bulbs so you are getting that part as part of the cost of the fixture. I have posted pictures of my favorite LED fixtures and the light they put out is phenomenal. Here is a link that might be useful: LED fixtures or bulbs?...See MoreI want to know what type of bulb this fixture takes LED? Halogen? cf

Comments (5)There may be a couple of small holes to repair when you take the existing one down. In general, this style of fluorescent fixture is mounted with a toggle bolt or into a stud. If you take the two existing bulbs out, you will see how it is attached. If the hold downs (Screws/similar) are only in the middle, should be a simple swap with no holes in the wall. If you see that there are hold downs on towards the end of the fixture, you would know there would most likely be a hole to deal with away from the center of the fixture where the Junction Box is.
