Would these work to replace outdoor Landscape MR-16 Halogens?

Yes and that is how I use some. Be careful of course that your fitting is waterproof and that your fitting can take a fitting that may be a touch bigger. Check dimensions carefully.

Absolutely! As longs as the lamps are protectedted from moisture like regular Halogens, they will work fine.

I don't see why not. Especially if the enclosure is sealed. I'm really happy with these bulbs

They work well.Still trying to find a 3-way wall dimmer that works with track lighting having Philips 42379 bulbs.

No. While these lights look great, they would not tolerate outdoors. Rain would short out the electronics and hot summer sun would melt the plastic parts. Sorry!

You're welcome. I know this because the older models used 12v T4 50w bi-pin halogens, but I removed the reflector and replaced it with an MR16, and they work fine. I was thinking about LED but bought several MR 16 bulbs on sale.

Absolutely. I replaced four halogen bulbs in a track light (Halo fixtures with individual transformers) with the Great Eagle bulbs.We replaced the old style flip switch with a new Lutron dimmer designed for compact flourescents and LED lights. We are very happy with the results.The output of the great eagle lights is "warmer" in color temperature than other LED lights, but acceptable - certainly for the price.

Yes- I believe they will work just fine. For me they worked better than the regular lights because they don't need as much voltage to be bright so they were brighter where I had longer wire runs.

The G4 bulbs are direct LED replacements for halogens as I understand it. I believe that, like the halogens, the G4's are for low voltage (12 volt) like landscape or marine lighting, not line voltage (120 volt) applications. Whatever base/socket you use you'd need a transformer to convert to the correct voltage. I think this base would work as the prongs of the G4 lamp will fit into any connector that takes an MR11 or MR16 halogen bulb.

Probably will not have to change anything. If you have the right halogen fixtures they should be good to go.

Don't know--I use them outside in our landscape lights. These are not screw-in lights--they have two prongs on them.

Yes- I bought it for a 12 volt outdoor lighting system. I'm surprised the description doesn't say 12 volt. Maybe all MR11 bulbs are 12 volt.

Yes, they will work outside with little to no problems at all. I use them to light up my land scape in the backyard. I have been using them for about six months on. The only problem I had was that two of them burned out within two months of installing them, so they had to be replaced, as for the other 5 they have been working great. Hope that this helps.

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

The short answer is NO! I bought these to use with my landscape lighting as Christmas decoration and they began to melt immediately. I am using 75W halogen.

No. They are NOT made for outdoor use. One would have to find a way to protect them from the elements which, since they are large, would not be practical. However, I'm sure it COULD be done, with some ingenuity. Hope this helps.

Yes, I have them in Malibu landscape lighting and they work great. No flicker and almost the same as with the halogen bulbs.

I have halogen fixtures in my RV but did not use these bulbs to replace them, because my wife wanted lights every bit as bright as halogens for her sink area. I went for bulbs that were multi-directional (like these) but a much higher lumen rating from camping world. Cost me about $17 for each bulb, and had to push the lens out of the recessed fixture to get the lid back on. They work great. I wouldn't use these to replace halogens if you need a lot of light. Spend the extra money and do it right. These bulbs are great for standard overhead lighting though.

After looking further at the manufacturer's description, I can see some of this information is not obvious. Also, I can say that they don't specifically say the bulb is for outdoor use. But, here's what I know for sure. The bulb is in fact meant to be used in a 12 volt system. I think most Malibu brand lighting is 12 volts for outdoor use. Every manufacturer of the MR11 bulbs that I have seen sells these bulbs to be used in the Malibu outdoor landscape lighting. So, even if you look at a Philips brand MR11 (for instance), it will say "Indoor Flood & Landscape". Basically, I don't think any of these manufacturers want to say the bulb is for "outdoor" use. What you will find is they say it is suitable for "outdoor landscape-fixtures". I have been using these bulbs in 4 Malibu flood lights for over 6 months. They are completely subject to blazing Arizona sun, severe monsoon wind and rain. As far as I can tell, these bulbs are every bit as good as the name brand bulbs for 10 times the price. They look the same, they are lasting just as long, the light given off is similar if not the same and they don't seem to have any problem being outdoors. Please keep in mind, however, the Malibu outdoor landscape fixtures I have are basically a sealed fixture with a glass lens...so the bulbs are typically never directly exposed to the elements.

Yes, they can be used outside provided they are installed in a weatherproof, waterproof enclosure. I use them as accent landscape lighting to light the peaks of my home and they look great. Not to bright but not too dark.
