Is this just a regular plug? I want to use it to light up a Halloween display by my front door. It'll be attached to an ext. cord and will get wet.

no problem. Just make sure the point of contact between the extension socket and the plug from the LED are wrapped tightly with electrical tape in an effort to keep the water from making contact with the ELECTRICITY.

No, they send it without a plug because its an overseas company shipping worldwide. I had the same plans for mine, but was not interested in wiring it up myself so I sent them back.

I would look for another light. Several bottoms did not work and there was no instruction book which might have helped.Wish I could get my money back.

Yes it a regular plug, the light can get wet, but I do not think the plug can get wet

it is a regular plug, but light will not work if it gets wet, it fills with water and shorts out, then doesn't work any longer mine lasted until the first rain storm, i took it apart and resealed it dried it with a hair dryer, and it lasted until the next rain and died completely, if under cover or inside the light is good

My first light had a plug, but the second did not i had to return it, I search rgb flood light us plug. I now have 3 from 3 different companies I love them.

Yes it is, don't worry about it getting wet, I leave mine in the garden up lighting my palm trees and they are next to the automatic sprinklers . To be on the safe side try taping the connections (ex.cord to the LED cord ) together with duct tape. Hope this helps ! Make sure before you order the light come with a end prong because some don't and you would have to do your own splicing .

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,

The cord on mine doesn't look much different than any other J1772 connector I've used. I don't see any reason that you couldn't use it outdoors. If in doubt, you could maybe have some sort of plastic cover you hang over it to keep the rain off.

Yes a regular household plug. I might add Ilove it, it makes the most beautiful pattern on the celing at night. I have it in the bedroom and use a long tubular shaped 60 watt bulb.

It will need to be protected from direct sunlight and rain. It's made largely of plastic, which is degraded by the ultraviolet (UV) in sunlight. It's 120V electrical; at least keep the rain off of where it plugs in. Should be OK to get some moisture on it.

If you mean "Is this cord rated for outdoor use", the answer is no. It should not be used in wet situations (ie, rain, snow, bathrooms) as it is not sealed for that and can pose a mean, nasty shock situation. You can use it outdoors (or anywhere else) if the surroundings are dry.

It is a beautiful light , you only need plug connect the light .find out around your house extension cords which You do not use and connect ( long or short ) I do not know why the company do not complete and sale a little higher but safety

The wall plug on this is not the flat type. It is a standard 3 prong plug similar in size to an outdoor extension cord.

When using this socket outside has to do only if you can keep in from getting wet or too moist !!! That would be the same as with any Socket. Just remember that You may be dealing with High voltages so be very careful not to get wet !!!

The dimmer switch portion does not look like it's waterproof. I think it would be a shock hazard if it got wet.

I bought a 2 wire (outdoor) electrical extension cord which has only the male plug on one end; ran the cord through the wall and wired the light to the extension cord and plugged the cord into an adapter with an off-on switch and plugged this into an outlet. Works great -- all parts are at Lowes.

yup plug in and enjoy! depending how much distance you need - you may need an extention cord - and get a water proof one if for outside & what I do is cellophane the connection of the plug/outlet if it too will be exposed to the weather - cellophane and then put it inside a plastic container - make hole in bottom of container and in top - so the plug is protected from elements and animals - they like to chew on active wires - the shock is exciting and addictive to those little rodents.you will love the pizzazz that these lights will bring to your party or event - or just for fun! :) yup plug in and enjoy! depending how much distance you need - you may need an extention cord - and get a water proof one if for outside & what I do is cellophane the connection of the plug/outlet if it too will be exposed to the weather - cellophane and then put it inside a plastic container - make hole in bottom of container and in top - so the plug is protected from elements and animals - they like to chew on active wires - the shock is exciting and addictive to those little rodents.you will love the pizzazz that these lights will bring to your party or event - or just for... » Read More yup plug in and enjoy! depending how much distance you need - you may need an extention cord - and get a water proof one if for outside & what I do is cellophane the connection of the plug/outlet if it too will be exposed to the weather - cellophane and then put it inside a plastic container - make hole in bottom of container and in top - so the plug is protected from elements and animals - they like to chew on active wires - the shock is exciting and addictive to those little rodents.you will love the pizzazz that these lights will bring to your party or event - or just for fun! :) « Show Less

I don't understand. Explain how you would put this into a flood light sensor. Which sensor won't work, your existing one? This is made to support only one light. It sounds like you have an existing flood light at has a sensor that doesn't work any more. If you can activate that original system to remain on all the time then you could screw this device into an existing light socket and it should work. I don't know if this device is water proof, you may need to shield it from the weather.

Yes it will plug into a standard outlet. I would not reccomend using it or outdoors. The sun would be much more effective and it isn't built to be used outside. The ballets regulates the power delivery and keeps the wattage at exactly what the bulb calls for. This extends bulb life and efficiency.

Can you use it outside, yes. Is it an outdoor light, no. It's not waterproof at all. The power cord is only like 5ft, and you wouldn't be able to see them unless it's dark with almost no other lights around it. if you keep rain off of it you might be able to use it for less than a day outside, but if you left it outside to get rinsed on it would break

Mine came with a very short lead and without a plug. I replaced it with a store bought cord and plug. I'm using mine with 120 VAC household current and it works fine. I can't answer the lumen output question. For a 30 watt LED it isn't that bright. More like a 150 watt incandescent.

No, it plugs into a special element; you would have to buy an adapter for a regular lamp
