What is the temperature range over which this will work? Can I use it in outside fixtures in temps below 0 or above 100 degrees F?

LED bulbs should have no problems working down to 0F (-18C). As to the higher temperature, 100F (38C) is not a big deal for any consumer-grade products. Plus you probably won't use the light during a hot sunny day, anyway.

Sorry, but I'm traveling for the summer and don't have access to the bulb to measure it, but it is a big bulb. I am using it in a ceiling fixture and am not aware of the temperature.

I live in the Midwest and my lights are attached to an arbor on my patio. We had temperatures that reached 20 below zero this winter. My lights survived the temps and snow we had and are shining brightly as the day I put them out. You'll love them!

Phillips says the fixture should not be enclosed. However all parts of this bulb measure temperatures far lower than a comparable 60 watt incandescent. If the alternative is using a 60 watt incandesent bulb in an enclosed fixture or this bulb, the temperatures will be much less with this bulb.

It is not recommended to use the light in enclosed fixture not due to safety but due to the impact on lifetime of the lamp. LEDs do not like heat and depending on the heat generated in the application, the hours of usage, the life of the lamp may be shortened. The lamp features over temperature protection. In the event the ambient temperature of the application gets too warm (exceeds 45C) the lamp will dim down to allow it to cool off. Replace and forget!

I'm using them outside in a fixture that has a vented top & solid sides. They replaced incandenscents that worked OK and after a couple months seem to be doing fine. I'm in a warm & humid climate; can't speak to what would happen if very cold.

I purchased this product for "indoor" use (normal indoor temperatures) and I am very happy with the performance- Bright light, activated by the slightest sense of motion and cuts off after about 20 seconds (providing no motion continued). I do understand that Mr. Beams has units designed for outdoor use which I expect can handle more extreme temps. so I would contact the manufacturer for details.

Mine is mounted inside my shed in my NH back yard. As I'm typing this it's -12 (F) out and it's working fine. My shed has seen temps past 100 degrees (higher internal temps) as well in the summers. I'd say it will work fine for you.

I am sorry I do not know. I have installed mine but I have not had any experience with temperature yet.

Hi Scott. I don't know from experience yet, but I'm in the same boat as you. I live in Ohio & have this bulb in my unheated garage. I read at least one review somewhere that said low temperature is not a problem & basically I'm hoping that review was correct. Btw, I'm very happy with this bulb so far despite the high price. I considered putting in fluorescent lighting but don't need to now with how much light this puts out. Good luck! Jerry

As long as the fixture does not have any direct rain or is not in a place where condensation can drip on it, it should work OK.

temps don't mater, but it needs some sunlight to charge battery--BTW- It works great, I shine it from ground onto a 25 foot flag pole.

I don't see anything in the specs about operating temperature. So sorry, I can't give you a specific X-degrees. I used them in eight open track light fixtures in a kitchen, and did not sense any radiated heat. But they are definitely very hot to the touch, and I would not use them in closed fixtures. Actually, I've moved and have some leftover, which I don't need. Allen

Yes, it will work fine. I have mine in an outdoor fixture that turns off and on with a dusk to dawn switch (just like a timer) and it works great.

As long as the fixture is rated for a 100 Watt Incandescent, you'll be just fine.These instantly emit a brilliant 1700 Lumens - perfect for outdoor. Bad part is the relatively short 750 hour life. "Double life" bulbs last longer, but you lose a few hundred lumens.

What temperature are we talking about? I would not leave them out in direct sunlight at 100F.

This difficult to answer without knowing the outside temperature...That said, mine does a good job in my motor home with temps into the mid 20*F.
