Are these suitable for outdoor use? I'm looking to use some hanging lights just like this for my patio cover.

The cords are covered with a velvety material and might look dusty or dirty easily outside. I think they are intended for indoor use, but IF your patio really doesn't sustain much wind or weather, they would possibly survive (and look awesome)!

They're glass! If the wind whipped the three of them together I imagine they would break. Each light is hanging from a separate cord. Not sure what you mean by patio cover though....

They work really well in our dining room, so cute, and put out plenty of light, ... but I don't think they would work well outdoors. I don't think they are durable enough.

I have some outdoors currently, but they would probably not work if they got wet. I have one in an enclosed lantern so that water can't get in.

I agree with PAUL BAKER on outdoor use. Since they are equivalent to a 200 watt incandescent bulb at full brightness and it doesn't take them too long to warm up, I will use them as security lights when I need to replace my current ones.

I think the 1st two responses are correct. Hardware-House lighting is well constructed but, this line is not intended for outdoor use. I would error on the side of safety and install outdoor rated lights and fans. Please feel free to call me if you have other questions or concerns. We'll be glad to help.ChristopherComplete Home Hardware615-794-3880

Yes. They're regular light bulbs and can be used in appropriate light fixtures. Just ensure that your fixture is rated for outdoor use.

I do not believe this item is intended as a hanging light. There are kits out there made specifically for pendant (hanging lights).

Yes, they can be used in such an outdoors application. I have been burning four such bulbs for three months now, 24/7, with no problems. They give off good light, their coloration is almost imperceptible from an incandescent light bulb, and if they burn long enough then they will prove to be worth their extra cost. Good luck in your purchase.

If they are good batteries they should last a year or more, very easy to hang very soft nice light glowing colorsI had about 12 of them in my backyard last year, from an awing you might have to use a flexible wire to make a good hook connection however, if a storm comes up with high winds I would take them down or heavy snow The glass panel is easy to wipe off with a soft cloth or I use my finger�

Yes, I have them in all my lights on the ceiling and use in my outside light. I really like them alot. Gives off a better light I think. I hear they also use less electric.

I think they would work just fine. The only problem I could foresee would be the unattractive gray base that these types of lights have, but if the light is opaque, it works. I have one in my fully enclosed opaque front porch light.

Hi Becky, I have not used for outdoor use so I am not sure. Follow the maximum wattage and maximum voltage for your fixture, it should work unless it is exposed to the elements, rain, etc. or go back to your fixture company customer service, ask them for help.

Sure. That is how I have them installed. However mine are under a patio cover. I wouldn't use them in the weather.

not for outdoor use. the lights are for indoor displays at Christmas or other occasions. i would not use these lights for long periods of time and NOT in night lights.

From what I've learned from GE, they are for table lamps and enclosed fixtures. HOPEFULLY (?), they can be used outside as long as they are covered, tightly with a glass globe. Good luck!

I did not try them for outside useor remember them saying for indoor/outdoor use. My guess they r not suitable for outdoors

Most definitely! I hung them on my patio. But be prepared to be disappointed with the colors, they're very dull. I had to repaint mine.

I've been able to use these on my outdoor deck, but I would only do so if there is minimal moisture and the light fixture is covered.
