Can it be used on an outdoor walled patio? Does it have a protective glass dome over the bulb?

Dear Kay, Yes, you may use this outdoors and it comes with with a glass protective cover for the bulb. I hope this information is helpful for you. -Cory, Plow & Hearth Customer Service

I did install outside. Put it up under an eve to protect it from weather. I would recommend using a dome which you can buy at Amazon for less then 60$.

I have mine outside, they are not a water tight fixture but they are well protected from the elements. I have not had any problems, they have been up for about 3 months. So far so good!!

I dont see why it wouldnt work outside BUT not what it is made for. Light is extremely bright so might effect neighbors and I would worry about it being damaged or stolen. Great light tho!

I wouldn't try it. The top is open to the elements. Generally outdoor fixtures are more closed off. You probably would get a lot of bugs and they would be visible through the glass. If your porch is closed off it might work.

I have ours installed outside. They are under a covered patio and go into a protected portion of the ceiling. Have the installed for over a year and no issues.

Really designed for outdoor use, and the shade is rather large diameter for bedroom wall mounting. You would also need to modify the wire leads to connect to an outlet; they are designed to connect via wire nuts to existing house wiring.

I have this installed in a fixture that is fully open to the elements but it is covered by my patio. As a CFL bulb, they are not recommended to be in completely enclosed fixtures so I would imagine it is okay as long as it is not open to rain and heavy wind.

I wouldn't suggest it be used for outside lighting. The glass is real fragile and the outside elements may be to harsh. You may be able to use for a sunroom or screened in porch.

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.

We have had this lantern on our front porch for about 6 months now. I really like it, but I would be cautious about an uncovered area. Is it protected from the wind and elements at all? We have had one of the glass sides come loose. Thankfully, it didn't' fall down and could be easily re-adjusted.

The bulb is not comparable with the dome. The solar glo lights are too strong for it. It is most likely shutting off because it gets too hot. The max wattage is 150. Hope this helps!

Yes, we have our bulb in an outdoor light fixture with a on/off switch (and a dimmer) and it has worked very well.

It is NOT for use outdoors...Sylvania does make some LED light bulbs for outdoor use

Yes, just be sure that the bulb is not exposed directly to the rain. Ideally, it needs to be behind a screen or in an enclosed fixture. If the bulb gets submerged in water, there is a chance it might not keep functioning. You can check this PAR30, it's more intended for outdoor applications, and this one is really of high quality: Triangle Bulbs (Pack Of 4) 12-Watt (75-Watt) PAR30 LED Flood Light Bulb, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,

Don't count on it. I suppose if the fixture is well-sheltered like on an enclosed porch you'll be OK, but I wouldn't expose the bulb to driving rain. I use them indoors.

No. There is no cover between the rim and top of the glass shade. As mentioned, it's designed so you can change the bulb easily. It is a beautiful fixture though. We have it hanging in our entryway and have had no issues with bugs. Also since the shade is frosted you do not see any dust easily and it's easy to clean.
