Can this lamp be used outdoors? I would like to find something to use in my chicken coop this winter.

We used them in our chicken coop... they are protected from the elements though.

I use mine indoors for my crabs, but as has already been said, as long as the bulb is protected from the weather and water, I don't see why not.

Hello my friend Philip,Frankly speaking, I would not recommend you to install this downlight outside. As you can see, it is not waterproof , nor weather-proof.So pls kindly install it for indoor to maintain the downlight a long using lifespan and a good working condition.Any question, pls contact Lemonbest freely, as we're always here for your help.Nice day.Lemonbest

Absolutely. We use it to heat an outdoor chicken coop. For safety sake, I must suggest that you buy a protective socket to guard against incidental or accidental contact and to protect against fire. The item listed on Amazon is: Woods 0167 18/2-Gauge SJTW Brooder Clamp Lamp with Bulb Guard and 9.75-Inch Reflector, 250-Watt, 8-Foot Cord. This is what we use. 'Hope this helps.

i'm sure it could be plugged into an outdoor socket as long as it would not get wet. The light is designed for indoor use only and it's not weather proof

This coop is too small to put a lamp. If you haven't already bought this coop...don't do it! Coop is too small and falls apart easily...Sorry.

It can be used outdoors. However, it would work better in a shady location if you are using it lighted. I use mine indoors and notice when the sun hits the signs, the lights are not as noticeable. It is NOT weather proof so don't leave out in rain or other extreme conditions.

This model is designed to used on a outside, covered area such as a porch. I doubt that a light kit would be a good idea since the fan is "damp rated". Lamp kits are not intended for outdoor use.

Please disregard my previous answer; hit the wrong key. No, I wouldn't use it outside, totally exposed to the weather. People have used these in their garages, but never completely outside. I use them in my basement, which works really well, but these light fixtures were actually designed to be used in photography applications. People just adapt them for use in their houses and garages.

It is listed as an indoor light so you wouldn't want it exposed I don't think, but if you used an incandescent bulb before, like in an enclosed porch ceiling fixture, it would probably be ok. You don't have to worry about the bulb producing heat. Not sure how the cold May affect it.

The instruction sheet says: "Although the lamp may be used outdoors, it is not water-proof and should be stored in a clean, dry environment."So, I wouldn't leave it outside all the time, and definitely wouldn't want it to get rained on. High winds could also blow it over and perhaps roll it some distance, as well, which would likely damage it.

Have not tried it outside of the coop. Not sure how it will work outside if it get very cold.

I think this light is very bright, and would work. I use it for the inside of a chicken coop, and it has much more light than what I want for that purpose - I wish it wasn't so bright. Not sure how big your trees are, but this puts out quite a bit of light.

I dont see why not! The cord is thicker because its covered for the out door otherwise its a beautiful lamp in or 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.

I use mine in my chicken run, in the portion that is underneath my coop, and out of the weather. It sits on bricks on bare earth. My only question, since it is a warming element, is could it be placed on a wooden floor if it's inside the henhouse. What kind of flooring are you planning on putting it on? It does not warm up very much, enough to heat water to keep it from freezing. If you are planning on putting it on a wooden floor, I would contact the manufacturer and ask. Personally, I'm hesitant to put any warming element, including a heat lamp, anywhere that would be sitting on wood or straw.
