Will this work in a frosted outdoor porch fixture?

I am using one in an frosted/opal fixture on a covered porch and it works like a charm!

It works great in mine - here's a tip though.....for some reason my bulb would turn itself off every few hours when it was dark out, perhaps being triggered by some reflection of its own light. I put some pieces of masking tape over the light sensor to make it less sensitive and that fixed it, now it's on all night long but still off during the day.

I bought this in 2014 and it blinked on and off in a frosted enclosure with an open bottom. I bought the exact same item again in 2016 and that one works great in the same enclosure.

Yes, they've worked in both of my frosted porch fixtures. But if it's a dreary cloudy day, they stay off sometimes. But I just turn them off with the light switch. No big deal.

Unfortunately I think that a frosted glass would seriously affect the on off action for the light.

From, my experience, no. The sensor requires a lot of light to shut off. Mine was on all the time.

I'm using it in a open ceiling fixture on the front porch. The porch is not enclosed but is protected from the rain.

You know I don't know but if the surface is smooth even though it may be frosted. It should work

Yes, it will work fine. I have mine in an outdoor fixture that turns off and on with a dusk to dawn switch (just like a timer) and it works great.

I think they would work just fine. The only problem I could foresee would be the unattractive gray base that these types of lights have, but if the light is opaque, it works. I have one in my fully enclosed opaque front porch light.

it would require making a study enough stake and possibly drilling a few hole in mounting braket. the fixture are weatherproof so it doesn't matter where you mount them.

I have not placed this bulb in an outside location, but as long as it is protected, I am sure that it will.

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 don't know what your fixture looks like but I have 3 of these in my bathrooms. I just added one to our porch light and one to the front yard light. They are perfect and I look forward to them lasting for years! sorry if I am not much assistance

Yes it does work in recessed fixtures. I have it installed on my front porch which is a recessed can. The cord hanging out of it is not very attractive but most people don't notice and it is nice to have the porch light turn on automatically when I walk to the door.

Don't know but take any round peace of plastic do go ontop of the fixture under the insulation

Patricia, it doesn't need to put in the ground to work. It was designed as yard/path lighting but just as long as you flower planter is near sunlight it will work for you

It is not designed for this application based on what I can see. The non weather rated 110V connector would be exposed to humidity.I would recommend some other fixture.

I would not use this light in an outdoor application. Both the top and bottom are open, exposing the bulbs and housing to the elements. There are better choices.

Yes, that's what I was using it for - as uplighting on some trees in the backyard. But unfortunately I had to return it because rain water accumulated inside the bulb and it shorted out. Whether that was due to the socket fixture not fitting well, the rubber seal not being tight enough or some other reason - I don't really know.

Mine is installed as my porch light (out of rain), and it does well in high 90s. I live in southern California where it does not go below freezing, but LED lighting is commonly used in cars these days, without limitation on temperature, so certainly it would work nicely below freezing.

This particular unit is for post lights so it would not be the one for you. My son has a porchlight however that has the same functions as this unit. I don't know who the manufacturer is though. If your two lights are wired together though you only need one of them to have these special functions.
