Is this light rated for damp locations?

No idea about the ratings, but I have it in a bathroom that is used on a daily basis for showers, etc. Been there a month with no problems.

This is a gorgeous light but it is not sealed and so would not be suitable for a damp location.

Don't think it's because your using outdoors, it's labeled for indoor or out door use. I use two of them in my outdoor security lights, and have not had any problems. My lights are protected by the roof overhang, but even if they weren't the fixture is sealed well enough to keep the weather out. it sound like others have mentioned, a loose bulb, or a loose electrical wire connection

It's water resistant, I wouldn't take it underwater though. Rain should be no problem for these lights...

Yes - I use this light in my unheated garage and attic. Never had an issue.

I have not tested this rating. 1. On the other hand, it is sealed. 2. Pelican's documentation IMPLIES that their lights pass these saftey standards. 3. This light is very cool, light weight, small, sealed, and very bright. I have a number of them, but have not tested nor used then in hazardous environments.

Basically, they are saying not to use it on a light that is out of doors, in the weather. I would imaging they are concerned that fog, mist, dew or rain would eventually enter into the module; and short it out, causing a potential fire. If you are planning to use the spot light outside, where it is unprotected (i.e.; under the eves of the porch, mounted indside an enclosed porch, etc.), you may want to consider something that is weather sealed (water tight).

The lamp is not protected against moisture, so my guess is that it probably would be risky. My application was in a lawn tractor which is stored in a garage and so has no serious moisture exposure. If the outside fixture is well sealed against moisture, it may survive. If you want to gamble less use one of the LEDs which are completely enclosed in the glass or plastic "bulb".

I purchased this light fixture and mine is mounted outside in my entry way. Works nicely! I would not mount it somewhere that it could get wet.

I have the light mounted to the house just under the soffit. It is slightly protected from weather (not fully exposed). I know rain and snow have contacted it with no problem.

Nowhere on the packaging does it say it's safe for outdoor use. Based on that, I would not recommend it be used anywhere it could potentially get wet. I live in Arizona and mine are installed outside facing down under a covered patio. The chance of mine getting wet is minimal, but it is still possible. It was a risk I was willing to take. To supply further information: I installed these on the back patio to be used with a dimmer. The dimmer I am using is a GE Z-Wave dimmer. The lights do not want to come on using the dimmer switch. I have to turn the dimmer switch on (at which point they don't come on), then turn on the slave switch in the 3 way switch setup, then hurry and turn the dimming down on the switch or the bulbs will turn back off. I am going to try some Phillips bulbs to see if the same problem exists with the. Using standard switches, this does not occur and the bulbs are excellent.

I assume it is but mine is in covered area and gets only occasional spray from rain. Know I could have mounted it. My only complaint with these lights were the bulbs on the 6 lights did not last at all. Everything has been fine since they were replaced. No more blown bulbs.

Mine has been in a dooway outdoors where no water can reach it. Had it for 2 months and no problems so far. Very useful when visitors come to the front door. However, this light is not waterproof or even water resistant. If exposed to rain I am sure it will fail or get rusty.

It is not waterproof. There are no gaskets to seal the battery compartment and the telescoping lamp it metal to metal with no gasket. It is 5w and 300lm. For the $3.60, it is a very bright light for the money, but I wouldn't wear it in a downpour.

I do not think it is rated for exterior usage. I would check with the manufacturer. I do love the light and have seen versions of it in several home design publications and shows recently.

should work well in damp areas, but not outside when not cleanable (bugs like the light fixture), the bulb is a little bigger than standard bulb so may not fit well in fan lighting. seems to be about as bright as cft bulb (23 watt) but does take a second to turn on.

No, it is neither damp rated nor wet rated. Technically I should not be using it for my screen enclosed patio but I liked the design.
