I am looking to install these on the face of concrete steps for a large commercial project...any comments as far as durability & color fade?

The housing is plastic so I put alumitape inside for better light. durability is good and haven't noticed any color fade and they have been in the phoenix sun for about 6 months.

I have them installed in a concrete seating area under the seats they are fine ,as far as fading they should be ok.

Arizona sun destroys everything, but we haven't seen any fading. They are thin metal and the thumb screws do protrude out the front. We have them on tiled outdoor steps that don't have a step overhand and deck steps would probably protect them more but that doesn't seem to be a problem. Because of the number of these lights that I have on one circuit I did replace the incandescent bulbs with LED's

We have had them for a year on a wood deck in the Texas heat and have not seen fading or had issues with durabilty. Ours are not used everyday, though.

We installed these 2 years ago on a new deck. I think we have replaced 2 bulbs and that's it. We love them!

Does not fade. I have ours installed in composite decking as stair step lights. Very reliable; great light. In addition can find these lights at home depot.

I have been using mine for about 2 months and there is no sign of deterioration or fading. The stickers are printed with the letters and have excellent sticking power. They look just like the letters on the original keyboard. If they wear out, I would buy them again. Hope that helps.

Yes. I have had mine on painted steps outdoors for about 6 months and it is great. Winter is coming so that will be the real test.

Mine are on the porch but the material seems tough and somewhat fade resistant but all will eventually disintegrate with exposure to the elements.

Mine lasted about two years. Had both the 7' and the smaller (4.5'?) and both were always outdoors on my deck and the top (green) palms began to rust at the joints. Being battered around by winds didn't help any. The smaller one is still functioning well. I did not experience the problem of non-functioning lights as noted in the other response. Overall, I was happy with the appearance and the ambiance they lent to my outdoor area, but do wish it had been more durable.

No adhesive on concrete surface in my case even if they are water resistant, If I would have to I would go with outdoor cilicone on a very clean surface... it takes 24 hours to dry out !It Worth to give it a try.Good luck, kindly let me know.Lou.

I have had them in my 2007 Tundra since it was new. I bought the light grey. I also have them in my 2014 Prius. Same color. No problems with fading, cracking or anything. If they ever wear out I'll buy them again.

That's a good question, I don't know. I have them since 1 year and they do not seem to fade. Seriously, the quality of these is great, you won't regret it. I can post pictures of them if you want :)

I way about 230 and have had these steps on my Dodge for about 6 months now. They have held up through some rough and tough stuff. Go mudding, have gotten stuck where my frame was actually resting on the steps themselves. You won't have any problem at all.

I would think so. I ordered them for my boss at my last job. I worked in a diner. They were for the high traffic swinging door from the kitchen into the dining area- constantly being used. As far as durability- I would say yes. Don't know if they would rust or not. Hope this helped

I know they would be bright enough. They lay against vinyl siding type of material in my setup and I've never seen any heat/burn marks. You should call Novelty for the best answer

Each Model is Made for the Year and Type of Seats, so if you specify the year and model you should not have a issue. If they are exposed to direct sun all the time they are going to fade like any material. Of Course Color matters here, Red would fade the most and grey the least. All I am saying is nothing can resist the sun indefinitely.

My step bars are powdercoated. One year with no scratches or rust, still look good!

We ordered them for our squadron bar, and they are very sturdy. I think they would do well outside, but not sure if they would rust. Hope this helps

No way will using this material hold up outside in sun (UV Rays) and other type of weather. Also, it would rip very easily when climbing a ramp. You would be better off with installing some kind of wire fabric fastened by plastic wire ties or some other type of mounting hardware. If they are wooden ramps, why don't you just paint them with a paint that has grit added (or add it yourself), or maybe Rustoleum or Sherwin Williams has some product that would be ideal for the application....

Unsure. I do know that I have owned two of these for a couple of years now.In this ALabama heat & humidity, I thought they would "take a toll" with faded color or rust. They look great! I take them in for the winter and wipe them down with a damp cloth. Put them away and take them out the next spring to compliment my back deck again. I am very happy with both the performance and purchase of these corner racks.

Mine has held up well and even left them out in the snow...been a rough winter and not much fade to them at all.
