Are LED Floodlights cold weather resistant? I installed a two light fixture and both lights failed when the temperature dropped below freezing.

I only have one that I bought to use as a test for my backyard lighting. Doesn't get below freezing in Houston a lot, but I have had no issues with the light when it does.

I'm assuming you tried these in another socket eliminating the lights or fixture. I have 4 installed with a dimmer. Temps have been in the 20's and they work perfectly.

These are cold weather resistant. The temperature in my area (Wisconsin) has dropped down into single digits and still worked just fine.

I live in the great white north where the temps regularly drop far below zero. I have had no problems at all with my Feit LED flood lights. They light right up to full brightness.

I don' t know. We live in Tennessee and have had coldest winter in 20 years getting down to -6 with windchill of -12 and had no problems with the light. We use it to light up our donkey corral at night. It has stayed bright even during our snow and ice storms.

I monitored the light during our recent very cold snap in Boston (~5 deg) and the light, mounted outside above our entrance, started and operated normally. The cold did not seem to have any effect on operation.

I use CFL floodlights with similar package cautions in an open motion sensor fixture mounted under an eave, it has been there for 3 years including during a tropical storm and still works fine. Just make sure the face of the bulb is lower than the part that screws into the socket so that any water drips off the face of the bulb instead of running down the side of the bulb into the electronics (at the socket end of the bulb).

The only time we had a problem with the bowl lighting was when it was pretty cold outside. Other than that, it lit pretty well for us. Good luck.

Unfortunately no, the fixtures are sealed. There are multiple LED's in each puck, so if a few fail, it really wouldn't affect the light much. Mine have been installed for well over a year. No issues.

Yes! The great thing is that the LED bulbs is that they stay cold to the touch. I have them in all my fixtures.

I purchased 10 3-packs for my home about 6-months ago. The majority of mine are located in enclosed fixtures. 6 have already failed. Finding LEDs that truly work in enclosed fixtures at the brightness you want, and the color you want can be quite challenging! I have other brands/models in my house as well, but none with a failure rate close to these.

No, an outside fixture that exposes the light bulbs to the weather should not have "regular" bulbs... such bulbs are intended to used inside, protected from the weather. You must use an exterior bulb, easy to find in a flood lamp, also in energy efficient flood/spot bulbs. Be careful to check that the bulb is able to stand up to rain and snow hitting it, even when it is hot. Of course if you put the fixture inside a "box" and shine the light out a window, regular bulbs can be successfully used LOL.

LED lights are sensitive to high temperatures, high voltages, static charges, & microwaves. Do not use them for microwave ovens. They do like cold refrigerators though, as long as they don't get damp.

I bought 2 sets of these lights, have them up now for 3rd year. I saw a couple of negative reviews back then, but mine are still functioning fine, in harsh Michigan winters. The tubes are sometimes fogged up when it rains, but they just dry out. (The slight amount of heat from the LEDs when running will do it -- sunshine dries it out faster.) That said, they arrive with no directions for assembly. It's not difficult to assemble, but one should be careful putting the connectors together; a small drop of lube on the connector nuts will help. They're keyed to be obvious, & I put 2 light sets on 1 controller/power supply, with the add-on extension cable, included. I bought 2 sets of these lights, have them up now for 3rd year.

We have our lights outside in PA, lots of snow and some cold weather. At this point the temp is 15 to 35 degrees during the day, 10 to 15 at night, and the lights work fine. We've had no trouble at all compared to regular floods that have consistently blown out, rain, cold, snow etc.. Lights give a nice warm color used to light the front of the house shining up. Better than the bright white color of other LEDs.

I'm sorry I can't say what the temperature rating is. But I can say I am using a few in a cold envirnoment and they have been fine. I have a smaller 4w LED in a an outdoor lamp on the side of the garage. Here in N. Illinois we have had about 20 nights near or below 0 and the bulb works fine. I know most cfl's cant handle extreme cold, never heard about LED's. good question.

Yes. I use mine on our front porch. It comes on instantly and shows no sign of dimming in the cold. I love LED bulbs.

I have two on the north side of our house, one on the east side, two on the west side of my office, and one on the east side of our office. All are exposed and occasionally get covered in Utah snow. The light has always worked. Granted I've only had them now for 5 months, I am a huge fan. These are really great lights. I originally bought one for our front steps, then when I saw how great it was I bought all the others.

I don't see why that would be a problem. They aren't like florescent bulbs that need to stay warm or take forever to warm up if they're cold. LED's don't care much about ambient temperature.
