Can I use your lightbulbs in any light fixture that has a glass cover?

CENTRIC HOME™ Flicker-Free A19 10W LED: I want to use your bulbs in my ceiling-mounted light fixtures. They all have glass covers and are what I would consider being "enclosed", but I don't understand why your bulbs would not work in them. Am I misunderstanding your use of "enclosed" or can I really not use your lightbulbs in any light fixture that has a glass cover? 

As our standard A19 LED lightbulbs contain hardware and circuitry that traditional incandescent fixtures do not, there are heat dissipation requirements that we consider during operation. If the internal components are unable to disperse heat when installed within a fully enclosed fixture, the heat will eventually build up within the product and cause performance issues. 

As such, we recommend that they are used exclusively in fixtures that have at least a moderate amount of airflow, such as open-ended wall sconces or traditional open lamp fixtures. 

As an alternative, you may also be interested in our Ultra High 95 CRI A19 5W LED Filament Bulb for Home & Residential, which are suitable for damp locations while offering the same high CRI of 95+ as our standard bulbs.
