What is the operating temperature range for this? I want to use it outdoors in a sealed box but winters get to -15 F and summers up to 115 F

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!

Winter's cold is no problem for electronics, BUT even though this has a fan, you should add inlet and outlet ports for air circulation ( like at the bottom so rain can't enter) Otherwise great product.

I have mine in the garage. The temperature dosn't get quite get that low, but I can't see why it would not run at that temp.You are still above freezing.Richard S.

I live in az... So cold weather for us is 35f.... It does state in the manual not to operate below about 30ishF (I remember reading it).... As far as tripping breakers: it works fine on a 15A 110v circuit witha stereo plugged in as well.... So maybe it pulls 10A peak when it starts at most... Hope this helps...

I use mine year-round. I live in the Smoky Mountains in North Georgia so we don't get as cold as you but I have used it in 20-30 degree weather. It does take it a little longer to get it to working temperature and a little more charcoal to keep it at temperature but it is well insulated so it maintains temperature just like in the summer.

Packaging says: "-Suitable for use in operating environments ranging between -23c and +45c (-13f and +113f) Lifetime may be reduced if used in air tight enclosures...""-Suitable for damp locations, but not for use where exposed directly to weather or water."

Just got one, and works like a charm!! Says in the manual, not to be used below 65F or above 110F.

Ours (both of them) arrived cracked from Amazon, so honestly I wouldn't recommend for indoor or out. We kept one because temperature was around 0 degrees F. and it was kind of an emergency. It is kept outdoors under an awning of shed and has seemed to work fine.

I would contact the manufacturer or a big retailer who could ask the manufacturer for that kind of information. I live in Vermont where I use it for indoor storage. The room is dark, but I'd say it gets up to 90 on occasion in there. My parents bought one on my recommendation and it's kept in a sunny kitchen, but it's not that hot up the mountain. Sorry, I couldn't be of more help.

I am confident the unit will be inoperative when temperatures drop below freezing. Try fencing, netting, or a system that generates lights and noise.

I've taken it up to 450 degrees without any problems. I'm sure you can take it to a higher temperate. Great product.

Don't thank it goes that cold bud !You could build a box for it and insulate the box I think it goes to 10 degrees !I'll check when I get home and let you know for sure !!

I just went outside to check and it is running like a charm at 18 degrees. Another good result of continuous winter use is what appears to be a lower incidence of icicles/ice dams even with the 12 inch roof soffit on my house and up to 2 feet of snow on the roof.

Set your temperature it will keep it within a degree , depending on your box insulation mine was working like it should

the unit has a heat source so it doesn't seem to matter the temp of the room (above freezing). I have it in my garage and it is often in the 40 degree range. The unit does put out heat when operating (when removing humidity--if humidity is at or lower than your setting the heat turns off but fan continues to operate). You should be fine. I love this thing. I moved from Eastern WA where humidity is hardly ever above 50%, to Western Wa where it is in the 80-99% most of the time. I am allergic to mildew/molds etc and this unit keeps my home dry and no musty scents. I was prepared to purchase a second one for the upstairs but this dandy unit keeps both floors perfect.

To be honest, I have never been aware of the outside temperature. If yours is cool and it seems to be fucntioning properly, I would not be concerned. Perhaps it's well enough insulated that you don't feel the heat on the outside. However, if you don't feel it is cooking in the time suggested, you might consider returning it. Sorry I couldn't be more specific.

The temp range is maybe 70F-140F degrees on the thermostat ... There is NO an on/off setting.This unit is in my attic and I haven't been up there in a while-- so those temp ranges are just a guess. Thanks!

I have been using the light since Mid-April. I have not had any issues with it. The temperature range has been normally 50 - 80 degrees. As far as it working in freezing temperatures, there have been several days of cold weather, but not any extended freezing cold temperatures. I live in Southern New England and I guess I will find out in a few short months.
