To use a bulb in an enclosed fixture it has to be designed to handle the heat of the enclosed space.
Though cfls and led bulbs do not produce nearly as much heat as incandescents they are more sensitive to heat which can affect their performance.
It may still be possible to use your regular led bulb in the enclosed fixture but with a shortened life span and the potential for premature dimming.
Or perhaps it is better to say that they should not be used.
In the open air that s not a concern.

The above statement does not mean that cfl and incandescent bulbs can be used in place of led lights in case of enclosed light fixtures.
Led bulbs need ventilation and a rubber gasket would prevent proper ventilation.
Yes as long as the fixture does not have a rubber gasket.
