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

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 used these on in door basement steps. The problems I foresee for out door use are weather related: no drainage holes. I imagine water could build up and maybe be slippery (or freeze). Since you already have them. Try them outdoors. If they don't work, take them off. OR put on one or two. That's my spin.

This is a great option for cement steps. You can put it down and have an instant weatherproof ramp.

I haven't had that experience with them. I've walked on lots of concrete surfaces with no damage done at all. Hope that helps!

I think they might fray. Would you risk it? How much of an investment is it for you? How about cutting them and apply some kind of silicone compound, spray or with a brush to seal the exposed edges...a clear drying substance that would dry quickly, before affixing them to the steps...just a thought

Mine are fine, it's under an awning so not in full sun all day long, I read revues before I purchased, and others had mentioned fading, but mine have not

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.

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

I've got them on a spiral stair case. The adhesive has lasted for years with no problems. Just clean the steps with denatured alcohol first. If the serface isn't smooth I'd suggest another product.

I got mine in the Fall so I haven't had them long enough to know how they will hold up. I'm in Vegas so they will have to endure "very" direct sunlight and extreme heat. I can do a follow up after the Summer when I know how they survived.

I think they would look great at an outdoor bar area, but I would make sure they do not get exposed to rain. I don't think they would hold up very well. They are meant for indoor use.

Not sure how the would hold up in the long run. They seem to be more for indoor use, but they are not super expensive, so you could try. They do look great and are super easy to put up.

The description lists outdoor durability that lasts up to 5 years and the adhesive IS very permanent... cannot be removed without tearing up the design. This pack is great to try as it has so many colors to choose from. I have not used it for car decals yet, but the other projects have been very successful.

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 mine installed for 3 months and no fading with use, in fact I think it looks better the longer it is on. I was hesitant about buying the product but was really amazed at how easy it is to use and how nice it looks after installation.

Mine are outside under a covered porch but the rain blows in on them and they are in full southern sun all afternoon. About 6 months so far and they look brand new. The material looks like it will survive anything, The finish may fade eventually and they may rust. I wouldn't have any concerns about leaving them outside with a cover.

Mine have been on for 7 months including a steamy bathroom, and no rust or discoloration so far. They look great!
