can this be used outdoor with can lights where it is possible to get wet from rain

My junction box is under the eave. The arm of the Satco light extends sky ward to illuminate my flags atop a 25' pole. 3 years now with no problem.

I don't belive it is waterproof. We use it indoors and I use it for my orchids. I do spray them, but avoid getting the water on the bulbs.

Depends on how wet... might be OK if they don't get drenched.... of course the safe answer is no, must no be used outdoors I think... but might be worth a try... pls. do not blame me if you have problems!

I believe you can use these anywhere you can use a regular incandescent light bulb. There may be larger safety question about the fixture(s) you will be putting them into. Except for can lighting designed for shower installations, I have never heard of recessed/can lights being installed outside. I would check with the installer and/or fixture manufacturer to be sure what you have is "approved for wet areas". I might also check your local electrical code for outside lighting fixtures.

Yes, as others have stated, if it's protected from the weather and all moisture, including dew and lawn sprinklers. I have a few of these mounted under the eaves of the roof outside, so when people approach the doors it gives them some illumination even if the porch lights are off (and if someone was sneaking around the perimeter trying to snoop or break in, the sudden light might make them think twice).

Yes, they are outdoor deck lights and can be wherever they will be exposed to the weather, including rain.

Yes, it can! It's made out of a hard plastic, so the rain won't ruin it. The sticks may peel off the sides due to rain if it's outside, but for the most part the toys (or what ever is stored inside the bin) shouldn't get wet.

i'm guessing not because it comes with a plug.. but it does say 'suitable for wet locations'...??? the light bulb doesn't appear to be fully sealed by it's cover.. i keep mine on a porch.. sorry.. not sure...

I do not think it would be reliable for outside use. Sun would deteriorate the plastic material, and I doubt it would be water tight, so rain could get in.

I use mine outside. Just have to ensure the outlet you plug it in to has a rain cover. I suggest sealing the connector that where power supply meets wiring for light with RTV gasket maker or a caulk to ensure that's water tight

I would not use this where the motor is directly exposed to rain. Where the motor is sheltered from the rain, it works well.

I have mine on the outside but under a roof on the deck, we use it year round out there. I would say no to any electrical product being used in rain.

we used the flashlight component outdoors at night and it worked fine. haven't tried it during rainy weather.

I haven't hooked it up outside, but I wouldn't if it's going to get rained on. Their are some bare electrical components inside that might arc. Though, they do sell enclosures for things like this at most hardware stores you could pick up for just a few dollars that would keep water out. That would solve that problem.

These lights are NOT waterproof. If you're going to use them outside, they can't be anywhere that they might actually get really wet. Particularly not somewhere that water might run down in from the 'back' side.

dont think so; if anything (incl. rain) touches the metal, it will switch on and off, and its not sealed for outside use

I have used it once in the rain to illuminate a combo lock and it performed fine. I bought it to use in these very conditions so while I cannot say it is "waterproof", I can say it can safely be used in these conditions.

No. It is neither water or weather-proof. The light is portable with a self-adhering clip. I wouldn't even recommend using the light while in the company of rain or bad weather. Again, it is NOT water or weather-proof. Good Luck :)

Yes, just be sure that the bulb is not exposed directly to the rain. Ideally, it needs to be behind a screen or in an enclosed fixture. If the bulb gets submerged in water, there is a chance it might not keep functioning. You can check this PAR30, it's more intended for outdoor applications, and this one is really of high quality: Triangle Bulbs (Pack Of 4) 12-Watt (75-Watt) PAR30 LED Flood Light Bulb, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,
