I am looking to purchase for outdoor flood light use. Are these bulbs weather proof?

This is an email reply I received from LEDwholesalers : While this item may be used outdoors, direct exposure to rain is usuallynot recommended. For example, installing this bulb in a fixture underthe eave would be better. Make sure that the bulb is oriented downwards(does NOT have to be vertical down) to prevent water from collecting atthe light socket.

I use them outdoors, on a couple motion detector lights under the roof, but just at the edge, and haven't had any trouble... they've worked well these past ten months...

Mine are in a motion detector flood light and they are very bright. We have a lot of storms in FL and they have been great.

Yes they are. I have purchased quite a few of these for use in areas that are exposed to rain & snow. I work for a "Big Box" and I think these are a very good value.I have seen reviews that they are not bright but I have not experienced this issue. Hope this info. helps.

I've got them in outdoor flood fixtures (the kind that have metal shades) and they work very well. They've been rained on a number of times while both turned on and off.

2 of LEDwholesalers PAR38 Indoor Outdoor 14 Watt LED Flood Light Bulb, White, 1313WH This is the description of the lights I purchased, and I have been using them in my outdoor security flood light fixture for about six months. I am very pleased with their use.

Yes they are for outdoors I've been using them for 6 months outdoors and they are great. Best distribution of light. Highly recommend them.

Sorry, couldn't tell you. I have them inside my house. They don't appear to be weather resistant.

I don't see why not, they are just like the colored Christmas bulbs, just clear. They are very bright, though, and I'm not sure if they would be suitable for outdoors exposed to wet weather.

Yes and they are ultra low profile with a ton of flood light output at night. Use mine for our boat at night. Actually just used them tonight out on the lake. Don't know if they are waterproof or just water resistant. I dont submerge them.

If you are going to use these outdoors, I'd recommend putting them in a waterproof enclosure. I use them quite a bit and when they get damp, LEDs fail.

I don't know if these are weather proof. I have mine inside my garage but I do know they sell outdoor boxes to mount timers in.

It's doesn't say anywhere I can find that they are made for outdoor use. But I have been using them in an enclosed lamp fixture outdoors successfully for two months now.

I live in Los Angeles (where it never even RAINS!) so I'm not the best person to answer your questions. But I've had three of them for about two years now and they still work fine. Be aware, however, that they put out very little light...they have one small LED bulb versus 3-5 bulbs with other brands. It just depends on what you'll use them for. Good luck. BTW, my mother's maiden name was Wynkoop (June)...her Dad was born in the Oklahoma Territory in 1886.

Thomas, these have a standard lightbulb socket. Therefore, any lightbulb will fit and work. I use them outdoors with the proper outdoor reflector flood. They are designed so that when I use the correct reflector flood lamp a nice tight waterproof seal is formed. They sit outdoors in the driving rain, and I never have a problem with them.

Yes, they can be used in such an outdoors application. I have been burning four such bulbs for three months now, 24/7, with no problems. They give off good light, their coloration is almost imperceptible from an incandescent light bulb, and if they burn long enough then they will prove to be worth their extra cost. Good luck in your purchase.

I'm not sure about this bulb but here's the PAR30 bulb that I use for my outdoor applications. I'm loving the light output plus the item's really durable, just be sure that the bulb is not exposed directly to the rain: Triangle Bulbs (Pack Of 4) 12-Watt (75-Watt) PAR30 LED Flood Light Bulb, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,

As far as I can tell they are. This was the lighting recommended for an outside Christmas decoration and I have used it for the last couple of weeks and it has rained and so far no problem.

They are rated for indoor/outdoor use. And enjoy! They are fantastic bulbs.

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.

They do not appear to be rated for outdoor use. However, I am successfully using two other LED bulbs in outdoor locations that are not rated for outdoors either. Neither bulb is directly exposed to rain, and both face downward. One is underneath a large soffit area, and one is installed in a "barn light" type hooded fixture. Hope this helps!

They are waterproof from rain that you might encounter on the trail, but haven't tried to soak them in water. Like I said in my post, they might not be the best lights in the market, but they are a great BANG-for-the-BUCS ($$) kinda lights. Have worked perfect for my needs.
