Does this work outside in the cold weather and will it work using the adhesive tape (I rent and not allowed to use screws on the siding of house)?

Yes they work outside in the cold, rain, snow etc. Mine are on my deck stairs outside and they have worked flawlessly all winter and it's been below freezing quite often. As for adhesive tape you should be fine. They aren't heavy and have plenty of flat surface on the backs to adhere to.

I'm in NE Ohio, it works fine in the cold! I would recommend adhesive Velcro or something like that. Adhesive tape alone might not hold up in the cold weather.

I am not sure about working outside in the cold, both of mine are being used indoors. As far as holding them up, I too am a renter and I used 2 command strip picture hangers on each one and they are holding just fine. Hope the info helps :)

Where I live it hasn't dropped below 28 degrees but the light works just fine -- mine is under a covered doorway so I'm not sure how it would work out in the elements. I bought Command strips based on other reviews and they worked well -- the Command strips are removable without leaving damage -- I've used them inside my home.

I use it for outside. It's plastic, so weather won't affect it all that much, although it could crack from extreme heat or cold. Then again, any plastic will do the same thing. It seems well made, and holds a lot of weight, me.

No, not unless the paint is already loose. I used it around a painted steel patio door all winter. The best weatherstrip I've ever used, but don't expect to open the door or window until the tape is completely removed.

I live in southern California and haven't been in much cold weather. I have it mounted all the time and have had no problems with the suction coming loose. I took it apart after a month, just to clean the area, and the product works and stays put just fine.

Have tried in the cold. I wouldn't use it in the rain, cause you'll just rust it out

I use it on my deck every snowstorm, no issues. Take this advice, before you use it, spray the inside of the blower, auger too, with WD40, it will prevent the snow from sticking inside.

Yep. Mine is outside. I set it flat on the ground initially. It thawed the frozen ground and then froze down, so now I have it set on a small piece of wood. Works great!

It could be used outdoors but the problem is the glue on the label won't hold in the weather very well. All you can do is try it and see how it works for your situation.

In the description it says it is safe for outdoor installation, we never installed it outside. The base shown in the image has screw holes in it and is what you would use to mount it outside. It comes with screws to be able to mount it to a wall or some type of support.

The light comes with some double sided tape but I used my own 3" screws to get through the siding & insulation. Worked Ok although the motion sensor is mounted such that it does not sense motion directly under it. Approach it from 6' out & it works great. I would use the double faced tape only on an indoor installation. Seems like a well built light. Should work fine if motion is coming at it.

I covered it with pipe insulation from Lowes - taped with electrical tape and works great - below 10 degrees did not freeze

I don't recommend this for outdoor use. However the adhesive sticks well to metal but can be removed.

The adhesive is very powerful, and should be easily capable of bonding artificial turf in an in-door environment. But it may or may not be as suitable for outdoor use. For use outside the adhesive would have to be capable of more severe extremes in temperature and humidity, as well as potentially having to handling rain, snow, and some direct sunlight, depending on your climate. The packaging does say it is good for INDOOR / OUTDOOR" use. But to be safe, I'd call DuckBrands and ask their tech support folks. Their phone number, as provided on the box, is 800-321-0253.

As far as I know as long as you wipe the surface down with alcohol (where you will be placing the double sided tape) allowing it to dry I don't think the temperature will affect installation - the tape adheres well to any surface I have tried so far. The plastic is used to cover the interior side of windows; not outside of the window. I have also discovered it is best to place clear packing tape across the bottom part of plastic - on the underside of window sill - BEFORE shrinking with blow dryer. It helps to prevent plastic from pulling upward and eventually making it's way off window.

"Outdoor" is a loose term. I would prevent any water from coming into contact with the unit. However I believe the product would hold up to dust and dirt. Heat may degrade the magnet over time. The cold may not have any affect on it.

It can be used outside if it is mounted as not to be sitting in water, ice, or snow (preferably under the eaves of the house).

I do not use it that way. I use it in a weatherproof housing for a weather station. The clamp looks flimsy. You might need to use double-sided tape for a more secure attachment. I guess it depends upon what it is mounted to...Cliff
