Can you use this in a garage during winter months

I don't know where you live but it does not create much heat, only bright light
360106
Don't see why not. It does not provide heat, only light, so plants need to be protected from the cold.

I have the 2' model which I often use during the winter months, but I live in the California Bay Area; the temperature rarely gets to 35-40F. The heated mat is supposed to provide warmth (to help sprout seeds) to 20F above ambient. You may need to provide additional heat in your garage depending on how cold it gets outside.

Yes, but you would need to buy a heat mat, and some High Output (HO) bulbs,Triangle Bulbs T30083-10 (10 pack) - F24T5/850/HO 24-Watt Straight T5 Fluorescent Tube Light Bulb, 10 Pack

We just bought ours this summer--we are in OK and don't get lots of snow. I am planning to take it apart when the weather gets cold and storing the parts in the garage.

I have only had the unit a little over a month. I only use it on hot days, therefore I don't think I would be using it during the winter. I store it in my truck cabin when not in use, such as nights and cloudy cool or cold days.

Probably so, I have two of them in my motorhome, which is approx. 300sq.ft and they kept it at 72 degrees inside, while outside got down to 28 degrees! It depends on sq.ft. of the garage, and how well it is insulated, you might need two.

That is a hard question to answer as it would depend on the climate, but under moderate weather conditions I believe it would certainly make a difference in the garage. When set on high, it sits there and radiates a very good amount of heat. If possible I would position it under the bedroom so as the heat rises it would assist that area.

Walt, it depends on how cold your garage gets. You didn't state how insulated the area is or if the garage is attached. My garage is a large 3 car attached and well insulated garage with a 12' ceiling. When we are in the low teens (rarely) the temperature in the garage drops to the mid forty's. I'll turn the unit on in the morning and it takes about an hour to bring it up to the upper 50's. Eventually I'll run it till it hits the mid 60's and keep it there throughout the day. If your room is near 0 degrees or poorly insulated, you will need a much bigger heater. Wenatchee sounds pretty cold.... Walt, it depends on how cold your garage gets.

IMHO, Absolutely! I have used mine for over a year...outside. It is mounted on the corner of the house, beneath the over hang from the roof. It has snowed, hailed and experienced negative Fahrenheit temperatures this winter with no trouble at all.

Yes. Perfect for the garage. That is where I use it. I attached it to the front of one stall and use it no matter the weather. It works well.

I am using it indoor. Not sure whether it can resist the cold weather or not.

I use this in my 2car garage in the winter it is a concrete block fixture. I am in pa. and it works wearing light clothing. I keep my doors cracked a couple of inches for venting. I would not use in a closed space. stan

Depending on your climate you may be able to. Note if you are below freezing often you may run into problems. You will need power and network in the attic. I checked the company'd website and here are the "Environmental" specs.Operating Temperature: 0℃~40℃ (32℉~104℉)Storage Temperature: -40℃~70℃ (-40℉~158℉)Operating Humidity: 10%~90% non-condensingStorage Humidity: 5%~90% non-condensinghttp://www.tp-link.com/lk/products/details/?model=TL-WA901ND#spec

You can use in shed , mine is in a unseated garage, so far no problem. Mark

As long as it is anchored to ceiling beams, you shouldn't have any problem using it in any room. My garage is sheet rocked, so it's just like any other room in the house. Hope that's helpful.

It's probably not recommended, but I did last winter. I'd light it, close the garage, leave it running for 10 minutes to heat up the garage, then head back into the garage and stay working with the door closed. I never ran into issues, but my garage is not exactly airtight. I was always watching signs of oxygen deprivation or carbon monoxide poisoning, but never encountered any.

It can definitely be used indoors. We use ours in the garage when the weather (or now season) doesn't permit.

I would not recommend it unless it was outside in a somewhat sheltered area. Even then I wouldn't do it. It is perfect for a garage or indoor.

it is not for inside the house at all. I have used it in a well ventilated garage though.
