Hello, Brenda: I hesitate to say ... but check this out: http://www.amazon.com/97489-24-Crystal-General-Purpose-100-Watt/dp/B001IBDJ12It shows on the front one type of outdoor lamp post with a bulb in it. Hope this will help you a little. Good luck.

I'm so sorry, but I haven't used any outdoors, only indoors. I don't see any reason you couldn't. I plan on using in outdoor covered porch when old bulb needs replacing.

As long as the fixture is rated for a 100 Watt Incandescent, you'll be just fine.These instantly emit a brilliant 1700 Lumens - perfect for outdoor. Bad part is the relatively short 750 hour life. "Double life" bulbs last longer, but you lose a few hundred lumens.

Hi Brenda: I don't see why not. I used mine in an outdoor porch light and it works fine. It also throws quite a bit of light.

Yes they can , They can be used any place any other light bulb can be used , They are no different than any other light bulb!

These lights are NOT low voltage. I used threaded ridgid conduit (1/2 inch) for the post. The wires come straight out of the bottom of the light (there is no cavity to house the electrical wires) therefor you will need a straight through connector; such as a c-series LB, LR, etc. conduit body.

Yep! We used it for an outdoor string of lights (although we use it inside). Love it.

Yes, I have them screwed on top of my posts on a flat surface. I would caution you that these lights aren't very reliable. I bought 4 about a year ago - now only 2 light up

I know what you mean. We have ours along a metal fence around our pool. I used three black heavy zip ties to secure the pole to the post. The posts are square sided, about 2" per side. I also used the bottom sections of the previous lamp posts for a little extra height (about a foot or so). We get apocalyptic force winds around our area so we need to secure them as much as possible. Other than that, they're very nice. Good luck.

Yes, they will work outside with little to no problems at all. I use them to light up my land scape in the backyard. I have been using them for about six months on. The only problem I had was that two of them burned out within two months of installing them, so they had to be replaced, as for the other 5 they have been working great. Hope that this helps.

Supposedly. They're designed to be cut to length. But if it's for outdoor use, they don't hold up well so make sure its not a big project to put them up. There should be instructions included that describe where to cut the lights so that they'll still work.

Yes you can, I have them attached to my big globed string of lights up at my camp,, works great!!!!

Yes, but they are a thicker, sturdier plastic than I've seen on other lamps. They will probably outlast the lamp. ;)

No, I don't think they would be good for outdoor use unless you were using them in a completely enclosed porch where they would not be exposed to the weather. If they got wet they would not dry out properly.

Yes, I use them for outdoor lighting. Takes about 2-5 minutes to get to full brightness depending on the outside temp.

No, they are indoor, they also would likely be too dim for an effective outdoor application.

These lights are NOT waterproof. If you're going to use them outside, they can't be anywhere that they might actually get really wet. Particularly not somewhere that water might run down in from the 'back' side.

NO However, they are not water proof and with exposed contacts, could short out. Note that the center for a connection is supposed to be positive but often is not. The lamps will not work unless polarity is correct, they are diodes after all.

No. While these lights look great, they would not tolerate outdoors. Rain would short out the electronics and hot summer sun would melt the plastic parts. Sorry!

Yes these work great outdoors, BUT be aware that the light stands are really light and kinda flimsy so any slight wind will knock over the lights so if you don't other more half duty light stands then having sand bag around will do the trick or anything like sand bags.

Yes, they can be used in such an outdoors application. I have been burning four such bulbs for three months now, 24/7, with no problems. They give off good light, their coloration is almost imperceptible from an incandescent light bulb, and if they burn long enough then they will prove to be worth their extra cost. Good luck in your purchase.
