Can I use my PAR bulbs in an enclosed light fixture, like a wall sconce or pillar?

Sunco PAR series light bulbs were designed for open fixtures, such as dual spotlights under a roof eave or landscape uplights or signage. PAR bulbs should not be used in enclosed light fixtures (even with clear glass panes). The bulb could potentially overheat or impact/reduce the lifetime of the light bulb.

NOTE: It is okay to use PAR light bulbs in recessed cans or housings since they have an opening at the bottom and are not considered fully enclosed.
