I'm thinking of using this to insert into white led outdoor walkway lights to change the colors. Would this stand up to exposure to sunlight?

Mike, I don't believe this product would be satisfactory to your application. It is too thin and will tear easily not to mention rapid fade. It is the sort of cello product that you find wrapped around Easter baskets and gift fruit baskets that tears away easily. I think you would be better served by using colored report covers as that plastic is heavier and of a richer color. Colored transparencies are of the same quality as the report covers but the colors are a little more difficult to find.

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.

It could be used outdoors IF it is under an eave or patio cover. It is definitely NOT designed to be used in an open, weather exposed, condition. The amount of light (lumens) emitted from this fixture is limited. It's enough to provide emergency lighting in the event of a power failure but would probably prove insufficient in an open exterior location.

I would not use this light in an outdoor application. Both the top and bottom are open, exposing the bulbs and housing to the elements. There are better choices.

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

I would say no. The individual LEDs of the bulb are exposed to the elements.

The connectors are not waterproof. In fact the way the pin connectors on the LED strings are made, the pins could not be made waterproof. You could use this outdoors, and I have, by wrapping the connections with waterproof tape or a dab of silicon after plugging them together. I would not try this in a submerged location. It will be weather resistant, not waterproof

I don't think so. I use it for my outdoor lights, i.e. front and back door lights.

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

I bought it to use indoors. I'm not sure even if it is properly protected if it is intended for outdoors. I have transformers for some outdoor low voltage landscape/deck lighting that are definitely made for the outside. Not sure if I was much help, but good luck with your project!

I don't think it would hold up to much weather. I also believe it would fade very badly exposed to sunlight. I would suggest bringing it inside when not in use

I have had 8 of these in my camper for about 3 years now. I live in my camper, so the lights are used every day. So far I have only had one fail. After taking the failed one apart and looking at it, I would say they would hold up to being outside as long as they dont get wet. If you do need to replace one, it only takes a few seconds to do it. Very, Very easy to do.

Yes it would. I use it for my outdoor deck lights and it is very well made and durable

this will work for glass enclosed light fixtures. I've used one for out doors. its lasted me over 3 years.

You can certainly use these connectors for outdoor fixtures if the socket and wires are protected from the elements within an approved fixture. Neither the socket nor the wires are weather protected. They cannot be exposed to water, and I suspect if they were exposed to sunlight the UV would deteriorate them relatively quickly.

I believe if you enclose the power supply and dimmer in a waterproof container protected from the weather and use waterproof led strips, it should work. The power supply and dimmer could even be installed inside the house and weatherproof wiring used to go to the strips on the deck. I personally would try to install the weatherproof led strips under the railing, so it also would be protected from sunlight. Just remember all conections should be waterproofed. I believe these have unlimited fun and functional uses.

Yes but it at times does depend on the surface, white trim in broad daylight can be tough to see. It still does work well for daylight use.
