If it is a covered porch that is not exposed to water it should be fine. That is where I have placed my lamp, on a table on the covered porch. I have had it there for quite some time and it has been fine.

The bulb is suitable for damp locations. Do not use it if directly exposed to rain.

Yes. The only problem you would have regarding a shade is diminished light. But the bulb is plenty bright. Don't use a shade that gets too close to the metal part because it does get hot

No. It is definitely not designed for outside, but would probably do OK outside on a covered porch.

Yes, it just depends on how bright the light is outside. Just have a power source and youre fine.

This model is designed to used on a outside, covered area such as a porch. I doubt that a light kit would be a good idea since the fan is "damp rated". Lamp kits are not intended for outdoor use.

I don't think it's waterproof - at least it doesn't say so on the lamp itself. There are no weatherproof gaskets on the battery compartment so I wouldn't trust it in damp weather. But it is portable so you could use it on a picnic table in the evening without a problem provided you take it back in the house later.

I do not know if it is for outdoor use. I use it in a garage. It is a great light. I love it. It works well.

Nowhere on the packaging does it say it's safe for outdoor use. Based on that, I would not recommend it be used anywhere it could potentially get wet. I live in Arizona and mine are installed outside facing down under a covered patio. The chance of mine getting wet is minimal, but it is still possible. It was a risk I was willing to take. To supply further information: I installed these on the back patio to be used with a dimmer. The dimmer I am using is a GE Z-Wave dimmer. The lights do not want to come on using the dimmer switch. I have to turn the dimmer switch on (at which point they don't come on), then turn on the slave switch in the 3 way switch setup, then hurry and turn the dimming down on the switch or the bulbs will turn back off. I am going to try some Phillips bulbs to see if the same problem exists with the. Using standard switches, this does not occur and the bulbs are excellent.

Should be OK as long as it is not exposed to rain and there is no accumulation of water in the fixture. These bulbs do not create a lot of heat but it is best for them to have decent ventilation.

Good morning, S.W. Yes, this lamp can handle wet conditions. However, I would suggest bringing the lamp inside during the winter months. I hope you find this information helpful. Adreanna, Plow & Hearth Customer Service

It is not a weather sealed outdoor light, but if it is under a roof where no rain would hit it, it would be ok.

Sure, I think it would work just fine. We use it in a well-lit church building every Sunday and it is powerful enough to over come the flourescent lights as well as sunlight coming in the windows...so I think it would work outdoors..especially after sunset.

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.

I don't have a porch, but our eaves hang lower. We don't have any problems with the light fixture. Still very happy with it.
