can this be used outdoors?

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.

Don't see why it could not be used outdoors, But keep in mind this unite is not waterproof! These are a excellent unite & move a considerable amount of air. I own two.

You could use it outdoors as long as it is on a flat and hard surface like a sidewalk/driveway/deck. I wouldnt use it on thick grass. I use it in my apartment on hardwood and carpet (no access to a yard)

I think the manual says it can be used outside. We have only used ours inside.

Can be used outdoors, but unit is not waterproof, not to left out or used in wet conditions.

I have not tried using it outside. But as a precaution, make sure it is under a bit of shelter. Just so it won't to fry the "Jetson" thingy

I don't know why it couldn't be used outside. It is all plastic (or something like that). It seems like it would be water proof. Moisture might make it slippery and therefore not too safe; maybe that is why it is listed for indoor use.

It is fine to use outdoors. However, if you use an extension cord you will want to make certain it is appropriate for outdoor use.

yes it can be use outdoor. But keep in mind its rust resistance and not rust prove. So, eventually after years of usage it will rust.

Yes it can be used outdoors but it must be protected from rain and snow such as on a covered porch. I have one high up on a covered porch so not water hits it through this cold winter in PA and so far no problems. If not protected from water it cannot be used outdoors.

It is made of an unfinished wood. To use it outside you would have to put some kind of finish on it to protect it from the elements. Other than that it would work.

Yes, it could be used outdoors. It would deteriorate quickly because it is not designed to be weatherproof. I do not think you would be happy with the heat output because you would lose the combustion gases which have most if the heat. I would look for a radiant heater for this application.

I don't know for sure, but I'd be hesitant to use it outside. It seems to me to be best suited for indoor use.

Negative it is not designed for outdoor use! Unless you enclose it somehow so the weather can't get to it! Hope it helps!

We only used this indoors but I do not see why you could not use it out doors. I would check with the manufacture if you have any questions.

Hi there - I'm not certain if it can be used outside. Since it does contain a plug-in heating pad inside the cushion, my concern would be that the electric cord would come into contact with water. Something to think about . . . I did see other pads in Amazon that are made for outdoor use. Why not take a look at those? Good luck!

You can use this outdoors, but I wouldn't keep it outside. The grass under the mat will quickly die, which defeats the point of protecting the lawn. Good luck.
