Can these be used in a solar light?

I believe any rechargeable battery can be used in a solar light application.

Hmm, this a good question for which I do not have an answer. I only use the Sanyo recharging station to charge these batteries. I am sorry I could not be more helpful.

Yes. Works great! That is what I am using them on. I have solar garden lights which came with much weaker cells and I got these because they would always go out in a few hours. The Sanyo stay on all night easy! Lately, with more hours dark than light, I have to expect some loss. As summer gets going, perhaps I won't have the power loss, but I finally got a 2nd set and a wall charger. These last about 1 week before they won't make it through the night at full brightness. I just swap in my 2nd set and I'm good to go as I recharge the 1st.

I wish I could help you. I ordered mine for usage in a plant light. Hope you can find your answer.

Yes. They're regular light bulbs and can be used in appropriate light fixtures. Just ensure that your fixture is rated for outdoor use.

I don't believe so. These are made to fit a circular hole with an existing light.

Yes, I use them for outdoor lighting. Takes about 2-5 minutes to get to full brightness depending on the outside temp.

I think yes. I used them in a regular 110 volt fixture I bought from lowes. But you MUST wire the fixture to 12 volt only! Do not use regular 110volt house electric. These bulbs are pretty bright.

If you are using them for an exterior light monitored by the computer the answer is most likely not, unless you add a load resistor kit like this one:

I don't see why not. They appear to be sealed like any other light bulb on the market. So long as there is shielding from direct rain fall (as in a standard outdoor fixture) it should be fine. The only issue may be the light output. Generally outdoor lights for usable illumination are rated at 100 watts while this bulb is rated to replace 60 watt incandescent bulbs. It is still a bright light and perfect for indoor use or perhaps as a porch light, but as an area light for outdoors you may want something with more output.

Not to my knowledge . These light worked well this summer on the grand kids swing set but are dark now . Compared to the white string of solar lights which are still shining .

I haven't tried that but I don't know why they wouldn't. They are like a regular light bulb in every sense. Unless you mind the flame pointing down which it does not seem like you would. Just remember they put off no real light, they are for decorative purposes and produce a beautiful glow. I love them and would try it for sure.

They can, wouldn't rust, since they work with any charger that label "charge any batteries" for solar light, I don't see a problem working on them.

Don't know the answer to that question, but since they are low voltage I think the chances are you might be able to. The connections between lights seem to be tight enough to keep out moisture.

I would say no because they use DC voltage. They sell a dimmer switch that will work with these lights

Yes, but remember the solar panel on top of the light has to be facing the sun position.

I'm not sure if they will be safe to use outside. You probably can, but I use them inside for my night lights.

Certainly! They are very bright and can be powered by as little as a 9V battery. A small solar panel could be used to keep a rechargeable battery pack charged for remote applications.

Yes these are great for solar lights. Just be sure you are replacing a NiMH battery. There are some solar lights that use 3.2v Lithium Phosphate (LiFePO) that are the same size. It is not common so but worth checking before you install these.
