Has anyone used these in landscape lighting? The fixtures are sealed but moisture still sometimes gets into them.

The box says nothing regarding indoor/outdoor application. These are naked halogen capsules sitting inside the base of an open reflector cone. That said, naked halogen capsules are used in many yard light applications, especially in pathway lights where a larger PAR-type bulb w/ sealed-in halogen lamp would not fit.

i think they will work fine, provided no moisture or rain can hit the cans. I am using them as accent light in an exterior soffit that has no insulation.

I really can't say....I don't have any information that isn't on the amazon website. I checked the instructions that came with the light and they make no mention of damp locations. If it was me I would not use in this way...usually if fixtures are damp rated, the manufacturer clearly states this as it a selling point.

The bulbs should work fine if not totally enclosed in a fixture. If the are completely enclosed, the will get hot and die. The color of daylight is bright white which should work well for art.

The lamps are not specifically rated for outdoor use, but I have 2 of them in the ceiling outside my front door and don't expect any problems there. My opinion is that they will be fine as long as they are not getting rain-drenched. I plan to put them in my exterior flood fixtures that are kind of funnel shaped and the bulbs fit well inside them.

I've had mine up for a couple of weeks now and no problem, No light is completely moisture proof, unless it is in a air proof container. I hope this helps you.

Yes - I use these bulbs on exterior landscape lighting fixtures that are on a 12 volt a/c (via Malibu low voltage transformer). You can use any normal 120 volt incandescent fixture (which takes normal "old fashioned" bulbs), add to a low voltage line and utilize these low-voltage LED bulbs. They do a great job - so far 7 months running 4 hours per night and no problems. Do not put bulbs in a normal residential 120 volt circuit.

Should be OK as long as it is not exposed to rain and there is no accumulation of water in the fixture. These bulbs do not create a lot of heat but it is best for them to have decent ventilation.

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 used mine in a garden area of a vintage courtyard bldg in Chicago, I had the lights closer together than how they were intended so there was a lot of excess wire but it laid on the soil and wasn't too obvious and the effect of the lights were great especially when there was some snow on them. I'm hoping they still work this year.

These connectors are designed for low voltage (12volt) landscape lighting which is outside. The light fixtures are totally enclosed protecting both the bulb and the connector from the weather. Also see David's answer.

Although I haven't tried it, I think they'd probably stand up just fine to heavy moisture, though not sure what direct water would do. They'll stick to tile with no problem and provide useful light. You will have to stock up on triple-A batteries, though.

These can be an issue if you use them in the sunlight. Keep it clean and that helps. Should not be a problem if you are in the shade.

These generate a good amount of heat. If you're putting them in a waterproof fixture, you need to make sure they don't overheat considering the sealed container. I would think it is best to verify with the manufacturer.

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