Is this bulb rated for use outdoors?

We have two outdoors and they performed fine during our cold, snowy winter.

Sincerely I will not suggest using this sensor lightning in outdoor because of constant movement. Your bulb might run out with constant on and off.

I am using the same bulb in my outdoor lights and have no issues. That being said i don't remember the box markings but worst case scenario is it just won't work if it actually needs 85 - 265v and you put it in a 12v system.

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

I don't see why it would be more or less appropriate for outside use than an incandescent bulb...I imagine having it get overly wet is not a good idea.

In my opinion, yes. We have a lamp post by the sidewalk in front of our house. I have always used 25 watt incandescent bulbs in it. It allows you to see without being obnoxiously bright. I bought one of these bulbs and installed it a few months ago, in the middle of winter in Michigan. The light is on a photo sensor and stays on all night. It is quite protected from the weather. Glass enclosure with a metal cap that screws down. So far, so good. It's working like a champ. Can't say how long it will last, but I'm happy with it at the moment.

We use ours inside so not sure. If rather bulb is in an in closed fixture and/or under the house' serves, it should be ok.

The box says no, but I have several in a rather large enclosed outdoor fixture. Heat build up may ultimately shorten the lifespan of the bulb but they have been up and running for 4 - 5 hr per day for about 4 months without a problem. The fact it has been winter has probably helped things.

Not sure where this question is coming from, and although I'm not an electrician, will provide some feedback. The bulbs are fully sealed with the two posts exposed. Thats a normal configuration for this type bulb and should be fine in landscape lighting especially with GFI. My use of these in outdoor lighting has not been an issue.

The manufacturer specifies for indoor use only. However, I have had 12 of them outdoors for over a year now. They are under an eve so they are out of direct rain, but they are out in the ocean mist and cold air. They appear to be very well sealed. There are two reasons I can think of why it is labeled for indoor use only. 1) The big metal heatsink on the back could give you a big electric shock if the bulb is wet to the base and you try to handle it. 2) it is not as well sealed as I think it is. But if you're careful and willing to take the risk, they light up the yard around my house extremely well.

should work well in damp areas, but not outside when not cleanable (bugs like the light fixture), the bulb is a little bigger than standard bulb so may not fit well in fan lighting. seems to be about as bright as cft bulb (23 watt) but does take a second to turn on.

I would use them outdoors as long as the bulbs are not directly exposed to rain. You might want to seal the screw cap diffuser with some teflon tape to improve moisture protection. A 12 volt bulb would not cause any danger of electrocution so try it! I would! If the bulb is visibly exposed, consider the Warm White Light Bulb instead of the High Power White LED Bulb. Both kinds put out about the same amount of light, an amazing amount of light considering the low power draw. I am super pleased with these bulbs and I certainly would put them in outdoor lighting. On the box they claim the bulbs will last up to 100,000 hours. That is 11.4 years if my math is correct. I hope this was helpful. Alfred Thorsberg.

Yes, mine is working outside, but note the colr of the one I revived is very night white. My other halogen bulbs a little yellow in color. Not a great match.

I do not know if it is for outdoor use. I use it in a garage. It is a great light. I love it. It works well.

It will work outdoors. I am using at least 4 as accent light outside with the light fixture belowParadise GL22724BK Low-Voltage Cast-Aluminum 20-Watt Halogen Floodlight with Glass Lens, BlackHope it helps.

I do. Make sure bulbs are cool. I also spray it on the inside of my outdoor fixtures. Never had a problem.

I know this is an old question, but I've had one in our pole light which is inside a fixture of course, but still completely outside. It's worked for over 2 years in -25ºF weather and 100ºF+ weather so I would have NO problem suggesting these for use outside as long as they're not open to the elements. Best 10 bucks I've spent! I now have 5 of these and not one failure.
