Is this safe to use in an outdoor light post?

Yes. But where are you going to get a post with a mini base? These have candelabra threads.

I have used three of these bulbs in my outdoor lighting post for 6 months and they have worked fine. We had a very cold winter this year and the bulbs worked fine throughout the winter season.

I don't think it can be used outdoors... It is a great fixture though for indoors.. :)

It will work outdoors. I am using at least 4 as accent light outside with the light fixture belowParadise GL22724BK Low-Voltage Cast-Aluminum 20-Watt Halogen Floodlight with Glass Lens, BlackHope it helps.

I am not sure that the flashing lights/batteries would be safe outdoor, I will admit that my batteries have died but the sign is still my signal when I am far enough into the garage.

I don't have any experience with these lights in outdoors fixtures, but they look pretty well sealed and I wouldn't expect a problem in an enclosed fixture.

Yes, I use this as an outdoor motion-sensor security light and it is very bright and seems that it will last a very long tie.

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.

Please disregard my previous answer; hit the wrong key. No, I wouldn't use it outside, totally exposed to the weather. People have used these in their garages, but never completely outside. I use them in my basement, which works really well, but these light fixtures were actually designed to be used in photography applications. People just adapt them for use in their houses and garages.

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

I doubt if it is waterproof. It could be used outside if you didn't need the light to work, however the base would have to be weighted.

This particular LED lights is not intended for outdoor use. There are some water proof LED outdoor lights available in the market.

It could be used outdoors IF it is under an eave or patio cover. It is definitely NOT designed to be used in an open, weather exposed, condition. The amount of light (lumens) emitted from this fixture is limited. It's enough to provide emergency lighting in the event of a power failure but would probably prove insufficient in an open exterior location.

Hi Mike- Thanks for the question. It is a good question and we get asked it a lot. If you planned to use the flood light in an area where there could be people lingering around, I can't tell you that there isn't risk of someone taking it. Check out the F108-2R that we sell. It's the same price but can be mounted. It actually looks more commercial as well. We have installed it for commercial signs. We used 4" x 4" posts and drove it into the ground and mounted the light to that. There is 9' of wire going to the solar panel. We sell a bracket that would work, or you could come up with something on your own that many people do. If you have more specific questions about your application, you're welcome to message me directly. Thanks!

I use it indoors as a fixture for fluorescent lights for my reptiles. I agree with Carolyn L that it would be ok outside away from water.

I'm not sure if they will be safe to use outside. You probably can, but I use them inside for my night lights.

I use them in outdoor motion lights and they work fine. The lights are mounted up under the eaves a bit so they don't get direct rain.
