can these be used for outdoor lighting

I dont know. I would guess it would depend if the light fixture itself were intended for out door use. The use of these adapters would not change any characteristics of the socket it was used on. It does lenghen the socket about a 1/2 inch so you have to make sure your light bulbs dont touch the sides of the light fixture.

Hi Becky, I have not used for outdoor use so I am not sure. Follow the maximum wattage and maximum voltage for your fixture, it should work unless it is exposed to the elements, rain, etc. or go back to your fixture company customer service, ask them for help.

I would say yes. We use them in lamps but I don't see why you couldn't use them in hall ceiling fixtures or outdoor lighting.

These bulbs are for indoor use only. Please see B003QPHK5E for outdoor version (not dimmable).

I doubt it. We had to replace these lights where we had them because they were on too long and seemed to overheat. I doubt they could be used outside. They're pretty sensitive lights.

Yes you can and they work great. I use them for my outside house lights to come on and off at a set time.

I have some outdoors currently, but they would probably not work if they got wet. I have one in an enclosed lantern so that water can't get in.

I don't see why not. They appear to be sealed like any other light bulb on the market. So long as there is shielding from direct rain fall (as in a standard outdoor fixture) it should be fine. The only issue may be the light output. Generally outdoor lights for usable illumination are rated at 100 watts while this bulb is rated to replace 60 watt incandescent bulbs. It is still a bright light and perfect for indoor use or perhaps as a porch light, but as an area light for outdoors you may want something with more output.

They are great for indoor but not enough power for outdoors. You will need halogen lights to do that from Home Depot .

From what I've learned from GE, they are for table lamps and enclosed fixtures. HOPEFULLY (?), they can be used outside as long as they are covered, tightly with a glass globe. Good luck!

No, they are indoor, they also would likely be too dim for an effective outdoor application.

The light output is roughly that of a 30 to 40 watt bulb so it would not be bright. That said, I bet these would work great for landscaping. I used one for the balcony light and it works wonderfully - another lights up a silk tree in the corner and the effect is very cool. Too much exposure to the weather might not be too friendly for the bulb so keep that in mind. My first bulb, btw, has lasted over a year now.

No...Don't use outdoors. The shade is not heavy duty....I think outdoor weather might ruin them.

The top and bottom are open so the bulbs would be exposed. I don't think they should be used outdoors but technically they can

These lights are not meant for outdoor use, as they are not sealed to keep moisture out. You may be able to use them under an overhang where they are protected from the weather but they wouldn't last long where I live in New England.

These are meant for open use in a chandelier, which is how I have been using them. If they were protected there should be no problem with using them outdoors. They are good bulbs.

I use them in outdoor motion lights and they work fine. The lights are mounted up under the eaves a bit so they don't get direct rain.

No. They are NOT made for outdoor use. One would have to find a way to protect them from the elements which, since they are large, would not be practical. However, I'm sure it COULD be done, with some ingenuity. Hope this helps.
