Hey guys,
We have a few of these simple light fixtures out on our deck:
https://www.homehardware.ca/products/300/36392271.jpg
I'd like to replace the incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs, but I understand LEDs aren't supposed to be used in enclosed fixtures. Would it help if I drilled a few subtle holes in the bottoms of the glass enclosures? Or is it more practical just to look for LED-compatible fixtures? (If I can save some dough, I'll score a few wife points... If only they didn't expire hourly.)
BTW, I tried to insert that image of the fixture—but although I used the editor's "insert image" button and pasted in the image's URL, all that appears here is the URL. Would someone mind giving me a clue about that?
