Do you think these would work on a covered porch? Are they bright enough to see my key and lock?

I would have to say no. Unless, of course, the lock is right next to the outlet. These are better for smaller rooms. I have a fairly small bathroom and in pitch black these barely illuminate the room.

I think they would be fine provided you could twist the light up to shine on the lock.

Mine NEVER worked anywhere. They went in the trash. I might have just gotten a defective batch, but I would not buy again

If your outlet is near your lock, say within 4 feet or so, they should put out enough light to see your lock. We use them in the bathroom.

for a porch I would use the MLN-50, these MLN-10 are meant for indoor use near a floor

My gut says no, unless the outlet is close, or your eyes are adjusted to pitch black.

i am very pleased with these lights. i have them all over my house. i believe that they would be fine on a covered porch. they twist show you can put them in the direction you want. 3 feet away from outlet.

I use them on the back porch and the front porch and the light is sufficient to see the lock and provide ambient lighting for the floor. My outlets are within four feet of the door.

they block a lot of the light...and not sure about uv protected ? I think 4 would barley cover your door

Yes, I use them for outdoor lighting. Takes about 2-5 minutes to get to full brightness depending on the outside temp.

Yes they will work. They are very bright i have just 2 of them on my patio 20 x 15ft. But rember u cannot dim them. Get the warm white ones. Maybe just get 2 or 3 to start with and see if u like them.martin

I agree with PAUL BAKER on outdoor use. Since they are equivalent to a 200 watt incandescent bulb at full brightness and it doesn't take them too long to warm up, I will use them as security lights when I need to replace my current ones.

I think they would look great at an outdoor bar area, but I would make sure they do not get exposed to rain. I don't think they would hold up very well. They are meant for indoor use.

They are weather and water proof. I have them on my gutters as down lights so when they turn on they do shine brightly on the driveway which I'm guessing is about 9-10 feet. The problem is that they only stay on brightly for maybe an hour, then provide very dim light for another hour or 2, even after a sunny day. Not good if you want them on for more than that. I'm looking for something else.

I would have used it for that. It's not a super bright light, just enough to see by. When I use it on the porch, it throws enough light to read by up close to it. I love mine.

We use our shades to block the morning sun on our covered porch. I don't know if you can see through them at nite.

they shouldn't effect the brightness of the lighting, they set at the bottom of the key shaft and are thin not enough material to block any light

I don't think so. These are made to be secured to a structure with screws. You might try purchasing a magnetic box that holds keys and hide it some place on or under your car where it is hard to find but you know where it is. That seems to work well for a lot of people.

Candy, all I can say is for me they're ok as I have no trunk light for my 'basic' and economical motor vehicle. They're not BRIGHT, just bright enough to see a little without hurting your eyes. It was cold when I 1st bought the light making the push on/off feature a little difficult (it got better with the warm weather, no real problem now). There's no rust etc so you can say it's ok depending on what/where it's used. Probably a lot better somewhere stationary and inside.All that being said; I can't really say, sorry and good luck. :-)

If you look at it in a darkened room there is no reflection so I do not think it will work under your porch.

I'm not sure. I bought them mostly for decor, not to light up a pathway or anything. They are not real bright, they just define the entrance to my property.

they are not really intended for outdoor use, the manual doesn't really specify, but does warn against using it as an exterior front line of defense type of lock (It can be defeated with a sawzall and a screwdriver...)despite the sales pitch saying that you can use it on your front door.

Certainly bright enough to help you get your keys into the lock on the door or to find them if you drop them. You can read, too.

I believe they would. You can see out. Mine are on second floor so I can't test.
