Can these be used for Outdoor Post Lamp lighting or are they indoor rated?

I would use them outdoors as long as the bulbs are not directly exposed to rain. You might want to seal the screw cap diffuser with some teflon tape to improve moisture protection. A 12 volt bulb would not cause any danger of electrocution so try it! I would! If the bulb is visibly exposed, consider the Warm White Light Bulb instead of the High Power White LED Bulb. Both kinds put out about the same amount of light, an amazing amount of light considering the low power draw. I am super pleased with these bulbs and I certainly would put them in outdoor lighting. On the box they claim the bulbs will last up to 100,000 hours. That is 11.4 years if my math is correct. I hope this was helpful. Alfred Thorsberg.

These bulbs are for indoor use only. Please see B003QPHK5E for outdoor version (not dimmable).

There is NO STATEMENT ON PACKAGE that they are for outdoors. Outdoor lights always say it is OK.My answer is INDOOR ONLY.

These lights are not meant for outdoor use, as they are not sealed to keep moisture out. You may be able to use them under an overhang where they are protected from the weather but they wouldn't last long where I live in New England.

I have only used them as chandelier bulbs..they have small fittings similar to Christmas lights. My answer to you is they are not described as OUTDOOR LIGHTS.

They should be very good for either. I have used mine mostly outdoors, when the light is low.

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.

Yes. They're regular light bulbs and can be used in appropriate light fixtures. Just ensure that your fixture is rated for outdoor use.

They work outside with low voltage, however, in my situation,they are protected from direct contact with water. I suspect they would still work for low voltage lighting, even if they were occasionally wet

I used them indoors, but they are also listed for outdoor use. You might want to check the lumens. 750 is OK for outdoor use, but depending on the area you are trying to light up, that might not be enough light. I've seen some newer LED floodlights that have 2000+ lumens - and these REALLY provide a lot of light!

Unfortunately - no. Mine failed after fewer than 1000 hours of operation so no longer available as a reference. I do recall that although I purchased these as landscape lights the box said indoor use only. I called the distributor and they told me that they were perfectly fine for outdoor landscape applications provided they were kept cool and dry. Translated labels are rarely a slave to details - this is no exception. Give the distributors a call and they can explain beam angle.

I have used similar ones in an outside post light with good results. Will install these and update is there are any issues.

It is rated for indoor use only, but I'm using 3 of them in recessed cans in an outdoor breezeway and have had no problems at all. I replaced all my indoor bulbs with these bulbs and my bill dropped $90 the first month! I'm a believer in LED.

No, they are indoor, they also would likely be too dim for an effective outdoor application.

I believe these lights are for interiors only. Maybe your local electrical/building inspector could tell you. I am just not sure if that would be up to code.

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.

They would be for indoor use only and are not air tight. They have springs in the back that hold them to the ceiling so they aren't really a recessed lighting unless the hole you are putting them in is already recessed. Hope this helps.
