Yes, I have had a LED spotlight bulb from the
C.Crane catalog running at my house over the kitchen sink for going on 2 years.
Unfortunately, I have "can" fixtures in my house. Almost ALL LED bulbs are marked somewhere on them "not for use in an enclosed fixture."
Apparently, that includes can fixtures. I have had trouble with my bulb slowly dying. A few LEDs at a time just quit working.
On the other hand, I also have a 48" tube LED light, which I really like. It is open mounted under my kitchen cabinet, in a modified fluorescent tube holder (ballast removed - just straight 120V AC)
The length of the tube, and the simple heat sink on the back seems to negate any heat issues. The tube shape also spreads out the light very well - eliminating the "pointy" spot-light feeling of many LED lights.
