I haven't, but the thing is BRIGHT! Its in my daughter's room. She wanted some fun lighting so we bought a cheapy movable arm desk light so she can aim it (thinking it wasn't that bright) and it lights up the room, hallway and outside her window. If you're looking to use one light to light up an entire back yard, it won't work, but as a few colored accent lights for parties to color up the place...it should do you nicely. Don't aim the light so people look at it straight on, it is truly very bright.

I haven't used it outside, but as long as it's properly protected from the elements a couple of them should work nicely to light the pool.

Well, there not super bright but they are kinda cool the difference colors with a push of a button or make em fade or strobe! I would think it would be quite cool the ambiance it would provide.

No I have not but it gives a great amount of light for the right price, very cheap and durable, been using it for a few months now it's great! Buy it, you won't regret it!

Hello, This little light projects very well! The LEDs are extremely bright - at night the kids like to turn it over and watch it light up the trees - so distance not a problem. That said, two points: This is a light show with alternating projections, so it's not meant as a 'pool light', which is fine. Second, the light floats on top and travels the same as anything else on the pool, so it will be at one end or the other projecting from it's location - it does have a flip out loop to hang it above an area, but it looks better in the water. About to include one of these for friends moving into a new house - their kids will be thrilled. If you want more light - you have a good size pool - get a couple and maybe hang one. Enjoy!

Yes, I'm currently using it on an outdoor floodlight that's attached to my garage. Works great and I can control it from the house about 50 feet away. Just don't exceed the rated wattage.

We use it as a spot light for outdoor Christmas decorations. We've had lots of problems with other types of flood lights, but we've been very satisfied with this one.

I don't see why it would be more or less appropriate for outside use than an incandescent bulb...I imagine having it get overly wet is not a good idea.

Yes, I have it operating with metal halide bulbs for outside lighting. DO NOT USE FOR FLORESCENT

I use mine inside for decorative lights in a bay window. As far as outside use I would say no.

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.

As far as I know it's not rated for outside use. There is a small cooling fan inside the light that may break if it gets wet. Great light for inside use if you don't mind hearing the built in cooling fan ( not that loud)

More of a Flood light. We used it inside of one of those hanging lamps made of vinyl. It made for the perfect effect. I'm not sure it would be bright enough for outdoor lighting.

I'm not a certified electrician, but I do live in florida and gave this light to my father who uses it in his garage which has no air conditioning. The light does get very hot. I don't see why you couldn't use it outside, but would err on the side of caution and check with the manufacturer.

I would not recommend it outside. However, I am disappointed in the light itself. It's not a "wow" light. It's small and not made as nicely as I would have expected. It's just an okay light! I hope that helps!

I recommend it. I used the Gladon Foam Adhesive. Two cans for a 21' round pool. I have to say, I like the foam. I decided to install the wall foam, foam cove and a rhino pad. It was a bit of work, but well worth it. I have not had to heat the pool nearly as much this year. I think it holds heat better over night, giving the solar cover a chance to do its job better in the morning. I also like the "soft feeling" all around. I sprayed a strip of adhesive about 10"-20" wide (top/down) and 3'-5' long (side/side) just under the j-bead and applied the foam nice and level beneath the bead. I used a trowel to smooth the foam over the adhesive and work out the air. After going all the way around the pool, I went back and spayed small sections at a time near the bottom and attached the foam. I did not worry about getting glue under evey inch of foam. It is too hard to keep the foam level and smooth working with such a large area. If the top is attached well, and there are no wrinkles, it isn't going anywhere once the pool is filled. Also by doing the top section first ad I described, it is a one person job. Good luck with your install!
