I am considering putting these in my sofit outside as decoration lights. Are they suitable for outdoor locations that could be wet?

I don't think inside your soffit could get wet, if you put it closer to your wall. You can turn off the switch if the storm is coming.

After receiving them and upon inspection, I wouldn't use it for outdoors. The bezel and the pivoting feature includes a gap which moisture and condensation can collect. Please find an sealed outdoor or shower rated type.

I purchased this light fixture and mine is mounted outside in my entry way. Works nicely! I would not mount it somewhere that it could get wet.

Depends on how wet... might be OK if they don't get drenched.... of course the safe answer is no, must no be used outdoors I think... but might be worth a try... pls. do not blame me if you have problems!

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.

Should be no problem being waterproof but expect only a soft glow from this model. If you need a brighter source of light I would suggest a different, waterproof model.

I think they would look great at an outdoor bar area, but I would make sure they do not get exposed to rain. I don't think they would hold up very well. They are meant for indoor use.

They work outside with low voltage, however, in my situation,they are protected from direct contact with water. I suspect they would still work for low voltage lighting, even if they were occasionally wet

Don't count on it. I suppose if the fixture is well-sheltered like on an enclosed porch you'll be OK, but I wouldn't expose the bulb to driving rain. I use them indoors.

I purchased these to be used for normal lighting (i.e. ceiling lighting). I have never used them under water. Given the how these are made, I really doubt that they are made to be used under water. I would be careful.

Any indication that this fixture is suitable for wet locations would be a mistake. The unit is only for dry locations.

i think they will work fine, provided no moisture or rain can hit the cans. I am using them as accent light in an exterior soffit that has no insulation.

Yes I think they stated they were ok for outdoor. We have used them outdoors for lighting a lawn area but take them in after the event

Not sure but I know the lights are "water-proof". And as long as the roll / lights don't get kinked so bad that they could sever then I believe you should be ok. I love the product.

I used them outdoors, no problem. They were however, inside a light fixture.

If you are going to use these outdoors, I'd recommend putting them in a waterproof enclosure. I use them quite a bit and when they get damp, LEDs fail.

I know this is an old question, but I've had one in our pole light which is inside a fixture of course, but still completely outside. It's worked for over 2 years in -25ºF weather and 100ºF+ weather so I would have NO problem suggesting these for use outside as long as they're not open to the elements. Best 10 bucks I've spent! I now have 5 of these and not one failure.
