Is the fixture weatherproof?

Very much so. Some typical installation measures must also be taken to ensure sealing but definitely made with outdoor use in mind.

Yes, the unit is powder coated and they recommend you use silicone around the unit after installing as well.

Yes. I have mine now for the past year without issue. I also had just the sensors on other fixtures and they also did fine. The company is very responsive to questions.

My fixture is under a ledge, it is not out in the open. So far I have had no problems. Hope this helps.

it is waterproof as I am using it. It inserts (sits flush) in the socket intended for it. The rubber seal that surrounds the light is very snug. when I pulled out the old light fixture to replace it with the new one, there was no evidence of water leaks. I am using it on a horse trailer as the brake light.

The particular model you are asking about is weather proof. I have 3 of the, installed outside my home. Other very close model numbers are not.

I cannot answer as to whether the light is waterproof or not but I do not hesitate to use it in wet conditions. There is an o-ring between the battery and bulb sections which seems to keep moisture out of the light.

Any light fixture to be used in the shower has to be wet location rated. I don't believe these fixtures are.

It is designed for use in dry areas, and non-enclosed, non-dimmable fixtures. So outdoor use is not recommended.

I don't recall anything on the box that about that. This bulb only goes into special fixtures. So if the fixture was made for exterior use I would think it protected the bulb. A previous poster mentioned using a dusk to dawn timer. Those are often used outside. But it is a CFL and low temps are a factor in light output until the bulb heats up.

I know this is an old question, but I've had one in our pole light which is inside a fixture of course, but still completely outside. It's worked for over 2 years in -25ºF weather and 100ºF+ weather so I would have NO problem suggesting these for use outside as long as they're not open to the elements. Best 10 bucks I've spent! I now have 5 of these and not one failure.

According to the specifications it's for indoor use only. I have mine outside but in a fully enclosed fixture so it will not be the weather.

I have mine outdoors in Minnesota winter weather. The light tubes are sealed. I did put weatherproof protection on the power plug to keep it dry.

I would say no. The individual LEDs of the bulb are exposed to the elements.

No. It is not waterproof. There are open plug ports and configuration switches on the back of the lights.

The fixture has a rubber grommet that protects the base of the bulb from the elements

Absolutely not. you need to keep the light dry. The rest will rust, it is not stainless steel.

I don't think it can be used outdoors... It is a great fixture though for indoors.. :)
