Can I use these outside in my lanterns? They aren't completely waterproof. Thanks.

I have them IN lanterns as well but under a roofed area. I don't recommend leaving them out where they can get wet. The bottom (where the batteries go) is not water proof.

I suppose you could, if they weren't in the ground or didn't rain. I'm afraid the AAA batteries would get wet. And I think the remote might not work if house is too far away. There's another kind of candle that goes on and then off after 8 hours with no remote, that might work better.

From what I've learned from GE, they are for table lamps and enclosed fixtures. HOPEFULLY (?), they can be used outside as long as they are covered, tightly with a glass globe. Good luck!

Our Fairy Lights can be used outdoor. However, we would like to let you know that they are not waterproof so protection is needed especially for the battery box.

I am not sure how weather proof they are, the battery is on the bottom of the candle and I doubt that the battery cover is water proof. This may be something you need to ask the manufacturer.

If they are outdoor, they should be waterproof, Right? But they don't see to be. All three that I ordered have quit working in the first week probably due to high humidity and some rain.

Yes, it can be dangerous releasing the lanterns near wooded areas. The wind is a very important factor in releasing the lanterns as well. Stand in an open area, with little to no wind and release. The lanterns are truly amazing!

I used them outdoors, no problem. They were however, inside a light fixture.

NOHowever, they are not water proof and with exposed contacts, could short out. Note that the center for a connection is supposed to be positive but often is not. The lamps will not work unless polarity is correct, they are diodes after all.

They are not rated for outside. The vents would allow weather to get in to the socket. You could enclose them but the stock lamp burns very hot. I have replaced the lamp with an LED par 38 and they burn much cooler. Still not weather proof but could be containable.

They are not intended to be used outdoors. They are not sealed in anyway. I've used them in my shed and on the porch with no issues. I have used them outside by putting them in plastic bags. This winter, I'll probably encase them in old Tupperware style containers sealing the input & output cord openings with RTV.

Depends on how wet... might be OK if they don't get drenched.... of course the safe answer is no, must no be used outdoors I think... but might be worth a try... pls. do not blame me if you have problems!

I wouldn't recommend these lanterns they are very dangerous. They went up in flames and burned my Uncle's lawn.

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

I used them for an indoor wedding. I do not think they could be left outside because the battery packs would be too exposed to the elements.

Nowhere on the packaging does it say it's safe for outdoor use. Based on that, I would not recommend it be used anywhere it could potentially get wet. I live in Arizona and mine are installed outside facing down under a covered patio. The chance of mine getting wet is minimal, but it is still possible. It was a risk I was willing to take. To supply further information: I installed these on the back patio to be used with a dimmer. The dimmer I am using is a GE Z-Wave dimmer. The lights do not want to come on using the dimmer switch. I have to turn the dimmer switch on (at which point they don't come on), then turn on the slave switch in the 3 way switch setup, then hurry and turn the dimming down on the switch or the bulbs will turn back off. I am going to try some Phillips bulbs to see if the same problem exists with the. Using standard switches, this does not occur and the bulbs are excellent.

Yes, they will work outside with little to no problems at all. I use them to light up my land scape in the backyard. I have been using them for about six months on. The only problem I had was that two of them burned out within two months of installing them, so they had to be replaced, as for the other 5 they have been working great. Hope that this helps.

I really don't know if they are waterproof. But since they are supposed to be used during a camp or outdoors for safety reasons, I assume they should be also waterproof. I have none with me to verify the package instructions.
