Is this for outdoor use (sunlight..)? Ok to expose outside for long time?

I think you could leave these out for months in sunlight. All plastics degrade due to sunlight, temperature, etc. Google: high density structural foam degradation

Hi, I got this to store my hunting gear in the basement. From what I have read this bin is pretty tough for hauling and storing tools in trucks and sheds so exposure to sun shouldn't be a problem to a level. I just don't know about long term exposure to elements. Its built like a tank though. ..

No, I wouldn't use this outdoors. I would buy a grounded timer specifically rated for outdoor use.

I would say no it is not weatherproof. The material will hold moisture and direct sun light will make it fade. Since the pole is raw wood, in high humidity it may bend over time.

I would say not for long-term use. If you wanted to plug it in outside while you were there then yes but not for the direct sun or weather /rain

Mine is set up to get direct sunlight because that just happened to be where I needed them, but I don't think it was necessary. As long as it is not under shade all day it should be fine.

I don' know if they are intended for outdoor use. However, I live near a beach and almost everything reacts to the humid and ocean spray conditions. After about 2 years these fixtures have held up very well.

I would not leave it out in direct sun light every day. Under a car port or patio would be okay.

I would not consider it to be a product that is made to withstand the outdoor elements long-term. It's primary purpose is for indoor use.

You can certainly use these connectors for outdoor fixtures if the socket and wires are protected from the elements within an approved fixture. Neither the socket nor the wires are weather protected. They cannot be exposed to water, and I suspect if they were exposed to sunlight the UV would deteriorate them relatively quickly.

Yes, that is what its purpose is, outside access. That being said, I would try to put it out of the rain if I could, as well as the sun. Not that it won't handle it, but the plastic would last much longer if it were shaded and protected.

As in, is this rated for outdoor use? Not sure. I don't think I'd put mine outside...

The is not labeled for outdoor. I'd suspect the exterior coating would become brittle and break down under UV and weather exposure.

I bought this as a gift and when I forwarded them your question, here's the response I received: I doubt it's meant for outside use. I think it wouldn't last too long. Hope this helps!

I would say that it is not "Sunlight" (UV) resistant. It is clear and I believe that whatever you put into it will get sun burnt. Also the lid is not sealed, it is just slightly tight. I would not leave it outside.

I have had 2 of these outside for about 2 years now. They are under the eaves by my front door and in front of my garage out of the worst of the weather. They have worked flawlessly. However, I would not suggest exposing them directly to the elements.
