Can these be safely used to replace my down-lights outside under the soffits?

Yes - they should work if the present lights are recessed into cans. It is an easy switch

I'm not 100 percent certain on the description off where the lights are that you are replacing , but I can tell you that these are vapor proof I believe ,meaning they should be ok for outside, because vapor proof implies they function in moist areas, just make sure the depth of the can that you are putting theses lights in are deep enough for the depth of the this torch star light,, get a tape measure and measure the depth of the can and make sure it's deeper than the dimensions of this light, to see if they will actually fit,Hope this helps, they are great lights i put them in the kitchen soffit at my house they put off great light and have a nice look to them.

I believe you can use these anywhere you can use a regular incandescent light bulb. There may be larger safety question about the fixture(s) you will be putting them into. Except for can lighting designed for shower installations, I have never heard of recessed/can lights being installed outside. I would check with the installer and/or fixture manufacturer to be sure what you have is "approved for wet areas". I might also check your local electrical code for outside lighting fixtures.

Provided you have a suitable flat base to bolt them on, you can. These are waterproof. I'd recommend to install them with the cable facing down and yse a weather proof switch too.

I suppose you could just install them upside down. Doesn't seem like a good solution to what you're trying to accomplish though. They make fixtures designed to light stairways safely and properly.

Yes, it just depends on how bright the light is outside. Just have a power source and youre fine.

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.

They should be fine. I used them to mount rigid flood lights and there was no trouble.

No, I don't believe you can. I would research for you, but my lights are deep in the attic. I will say they looked great in my yard last year.

They will fit but make sure you have enough room up above for the electrical box part of the light. i had a bit of a hard time fitting them in because of the lack of space above my 2x6 soffit area.

Yes- I believe they will work just fine. For me they worked better than the regular lights because they don't need as much voltage to be bright so they were brighter where I had longer wire runs.

I use them in my landscape lights. These are sealed to be fairly weatherproof.

Yes you can, just make sure the lights dont get wet cause they are not water proof.

The will work great for your project. We use them to turn on outdoor security lights if the regular power is out.

The lamps are not specifically rated for outdoor use, but I have 2 of them in the ceiling outside my front door and don't expect any problems there. My opinion is that they will be fine as long as they are not getting rain-drenched. I plan to put them in my exterior flood fixtures that are kind of funnel shaped and the bulbs fit well inside them.

you should be able to. I leave identical bulbs outside and on 24 hrs per day everyday. They last summer and winter outdoors for years.

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.

I don't think so, mine were exposed to the sun while I mounted and wired them and they work fine. Call renogy if there's any doubt.

They are not rated for outside. The vents would allow weather to get in to the socket. You could enclose them but the stock lamp burns very hot. I have replaced the lamp with an LED par 38 and they burn much cooler. Still not weather proof but could be containable.
