Can this be used outdoors and what is the effective operating temp for outside use?

I have been using this bulb out doors in zero degree weather in New England. I also use one indoors!

I am pleased with the bulb, but I have not used it outside. It's size would prevent me from using in any of my outside fixtures.

LED bulbs work just fine outside, and are not impacted by cold like CFL bulbs are. I have several outside and they have suffered no ill effects.

I don't think you're supposed to but I've had 4 running outside for almost two years now and the temps have gotten as low as -12.

My daughter uses it inside her house, so I have no experience with it being placed outside. Judging from the materials it's constructed of, I would offer that if you intend to use it in an outside environment that has wide temperature ranges, it may not hold up.

I've been using mine outdoors. No issues what so ever. I'm guessing it would be fine to use indoors as well.

The operating temperature for that unit is 34-114 degrees. Anything more or less will affect the performance of the unit.

This difficult to answer without knowing the outside temperature...That said, mine does a good job in my motor home with temps into the mid 20*F.

Well, I can;t say that I've noticed any heat generated by it whatsoever. If I had to guess, I'd say it pretty much remains at ambient temperature. If you mean what temperatures can it operate in, I have mine installed on the exterior of my house in Reno, NV. Temperatures range from -20F to 110F. I'd say it will operate in most conditions. The important thing is to install it where it is protected from direct rain and sun (under an eave). Even so, and especially if it does get direct rain, make sure and use clear water soluble exterior caulking around the screws that fasten the top of the unit. Just swab the caulking around each screw prior to threading it into the hole. This should make sure any water or humidity stays outside of the unit.

I would not use this outdoors unless it was protected from water/moisture. Fire/injury risk if it gets wet, not sealed to be waterproof.

Sure you can use it outdoors. It has a small battery box on it that would probably be completely ruined, but you are free to put the thing any place you want. Just don't expect it to last long out there if it starts raining...

I have two outside and they work fine both are under overhangs so they don't get very wet. I am not sure on the temps.

I don't know what the manufacturer says about outdoor use. It looks to me like it could be used in a covered area like on a porch but it wouldn't holdup up in a wet environment. Since its battery operated it would also be subjected to corrosion in a salt air environment if you live in a coastal area. The unit itself works quite well although I did not like the Velcro adhesive so opted to use screws.

You can use this outside, but if it gets wet it is done. Also direct sun will melt it.

I wouldn't use this outside, I don't think it wouldn't give off enough heat for outdoor 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!

I would think it could be used on an outside porch. It doesn't have a freezer section so the whole unit runs at fridge temps.

I have not personally used it outside, but this is designed for indoor use. I am sure you could set it up outside and then take it back inside, but it is by no means rugged.

I use mine in a finished barn that has electronic equipment, and I turn it on only when the outdoor temperature is below around 25. It will bring the temp up to about 30 when the outdoor temp is about 10. So it does what I want, but it won't do the whole job. I have propane for that. Hope this helps

I would not suggest this for outside. I think extended outdoor humidity would not be int the best interest.
