Is this product UL approved for outdoor use?

The instructions say yes. It is approved for outdoor use but needs to be covered and dry. under a porch or on a covered porch. Does get hot so follow instructions on proper clearance. Mine is in my garage and works good for a small area.

I used it inside and bulb burned out in 2 weeks. Replacement bulbs are 80 bucks. A friend burned out 3 bulbs in less than one season. Wouldn't buy another. We both threw ours out.

Well, to be honest I don't know. I have it under my deck and it is outside. It does get damp and sometimes a little wet, I've had no problem thus far. It works great.

I would have to double check but pretty sure it is. They do recommend using it underneath some type of enclosure. We have ours underneath a covered pergola.

The cord does not say it is rated for outdoor use, however it is very beefy and the potting surrounding the connection of the 4 outlet cables to the one input is heavy and well done. I would not hesitate to use it outdoors but no electric cord should be exposed to full on rain or snow.

It's made of aluminum and has a plastic cover so it should be fine as long as the screws you use to install it are made for outdoor use.

This is rated for outdoor use. Ours has been installed under our pergola since last summer - it survived an extremely harsh winter and quite a few storms with extremely high winds. Works great again this year.

Sure! It's great for outdoor use - although you may not want to leave it outdoors since the legs are metal.

Yes, I believe it is sturdy enough to use outdoors. The all plastic design will be weatherproof. The sun might fade the black version. I am retired Army, and have high quality expectations. I looked at many much more costly racks, and this is a value for the money.

I doubt that it is rated for outdoor use. Perhaps in a weather-protected enclosure you could.

It's not advertised as such, so it probably is not rated for outdoor use. That being said, I will add that the overall quality seems to be very good, and if the connection was suitably waterproofed (plastic and tape at least), I don't believe there would be a problem for short term usage. Since it wasn't designed or built for outdoor use (if it were, you can be sure it would say so!) there is no way to know how long or well it will stand up to extreme temperatures, UV rays, humidity, etc. If I had a reason to I would use mine outdoors, but I would expect it to fail at some point. To be honest, I didn't read the terms of the warranty, so I can't say whether it would be covered if used outside. But they're very reasonably priced, should you need to replace it! I've had excellent results with this company's products; because of that I say go for it!

Sorry, but the factory is trying to applying for the UL certificate now. It'll be updated on the item page once the UL rating is approved. And we promise to ship the item with good quality and have warranty to all customers who buy from us. Thanks for your support.

We have not used it for anything outdoors, so I can't answer that, I'm sorry!

Yes, our customers do use our products outdoors. Since they are not specifically manufactured for outdoor use, some products fair better than others. Thanks!

The cord is covered under UL 817, which is rated only for indoor use (officially). There's nothing to prevent you from using them outdoors, but that's not what they are designed for.

Without a UL and/or CSA approval for "Direct Rain" I would not use it outdoors. Moisture in electronics or cables will distort signals.

No, I can't see it being for outside use. The wooden parts aren't treated. We use it at the bottom of our stairs to the second floor so our grandchild can't climb up unattended.
