Will this work if mounted outside for on a deck area? Thanks!

Sure will, just put it in a place where it won't get wet. Works great as a light to see where you're going, and lots of light directly under it.

I would definitely not put this outside. I have it in a very small pantry (4'X4') that has a door. I am telling you this because the light is very sensitive motion. If outside , it would stay on all the time and run down the batteries very quickly. I try to keep the door closed for this reason. Also it is not bright enough to illuminate a large area.

It will technically work outside however be mindful that any ambient light could prevent it from operating when motion sensed as it has a photocell eye that prevents operation during the day. A streetlight or moonlight could keep it from operating. Others have covered the photocell to ensure it operates regardless of outside influences. This does require the unit to be opened for modification therefore be aware that DIY passion is required. My application is a interior pantry that doesn't see any light so the point is moot for me.

hey James, I am assuming it can be used outdoors as that is where I mounted mine. I mounted it right on the antenna pole and wrapped it with electrical tape to keep connections dry.It gets pretty cold here in NY, so by next year I'll know for sure, LOL.But I don't see why it shouldn't work in cold or hot weather, I hope this helps!PS It made it through the summer although this wasn't a very hot summer this season.

I think it could be mounted outdoors easily. That said, you might risk rust in a few places where the gate latches.

You can mount it on the outside of the door as long as the door opens to the outside. This unit pushes the door closed.My only concern would be how it will hold up to the elements. It is not a sealed unit and could possibly rust in time.

I have mine mounted on the outside of a gazebo. The tie downs at the bottom work great. I take mine inside in the cold Ohio winters. Mounts and unmounts very easily.

I don't believe it is for outside use. We've only installed them inside commercial spaces. I would confirm their intended usage via the Elkay website.

It is designed to be outdoors, pole mounted, it is a sealed unit and should be fine.

It will work on a deck but you might need to use an umbrella foot that can be fixed to the deck, instead of the ground anchor that comes with it. We are very pleased with it.

It can be mounted anywhere there is a 110 VAC outlet available. There is no reason it has to be mounted outdoors. Be aware there is a slight 60 cycle hum when it is turned on.

I would not recommend this for outdoor use. There are far too many places that moisture could sneak in. However, if you mount it upside down underneath some form of cover that can keep it dry it should be OK. For a while :)

The company should answer. However, I do not believe that this was designed for outdoor use.

Yes, I have it mounted outside. It's been there for 1 year and still works.

Yes, its designed to be outside. I have 3 of them, all outside and they work great.

Yes, I mounted mine on the outside, on the garage door frame, and have had no problems with it. I'm not sure what the manufacturer recommendations are on outside mounting but the unit would not be useful if not outside and easily accessible. I thought about keeping it out of any direct sun but I'm not sure how important that factor is. It mounts flush and when in the closed position is very snug.

Unit isn't weather proof, if you mount outdoors, it does need to be potected from moisture.

Yes, I believe it is OK to use outside -I use mine outside. It comes with a plastic base that can be screwed onto any flat surface like a floor or a wall. After mounting, the antenna can be angled nearly any direction. It increased my reception from two bars to the maximum of five bars and it brought in several sites that were not previously visible.

The only problem as I see it is getting secure electrical power to the unit that's mounted outdoors. Then how do you protect the unit from the elements? My answer to your question is probably "NO"! Perhaps this manufacturer makes an outdoor unit to fulfill your need. Good Luck!
