G&E Relax LED Light Bulb Packaging is misleading and could lead to a Fire

 So wife bought a package of  G&E Relax LED Bulbs after some bulbs in our house needed replaced .

When you look at the packaging it looks like you can use them in any fixture in your home 

But not so quick in small writing on the side panel it warns do not use in totally enclosed fixtures which the light above our kitchen sink was .

So we could not use this bulb .


See that's the problem with LED bulbs you have to very carefully read the packages to make sure they work where you are going to use them.

Unlike a regular incandescent bulb you can use Base Up Base down Base side ways  totally enclosed  LED  bulbs have specific uses just like earlier compact fluorescent

Many fires result  because of improper bulb use.

That's why it is important to read the labels but the wring bulb in wrong fixture they overheat and can explode . 

So just another example of saving energy and creating un needed danger in the home.
