Can this bulb be used outside in a sealed glass decorative container?

In my opinion, yes. We have a lamp post by the sidewalk in front of our house. I have always used 25 watt incandescent bulbs in it. It allows you to see without being obnoxiously bright. I bought one of these bulbs and installed it a few months ago, in the middle of winter in Michigan. The light is on a photo sensor and stays on all night. It is quite protected from the weather. Glass enclosure with a metal cap that screws down. So far, so good. It's working like a champ. Can't say how long it will last, but I'm happy with it at the moment.

They are indoor blubs, I am on page with the other two answers. I would try them. I had some outdoor light blubs break on me from the ice and snow getting into the fixture. We had melting weather with high winds that blew the water into the fixture and froze to the bulb. When the light came on at night it exploded. Nothing is perfect. For the money that you save using LED blubs it is worth trying.

I don't see why not. If you can use a normal incandescent bulb in your fixture, you should be able to use this one as well.

Did not buy this type, but the manufacturer should state on packaging if bulb is for exterior use.

these bulbs are not intended for use in enclosed can light fixtures. a statement on this is included on the product packaging

I have installed two outside in a lighting fixture similar to the "Nautical Outdoor Burnished Bronze 8 in. Outdoor Wall Light" sold on Amazon.com, mine was purchased locally . The fixtures protect the lights from direct rain and are inside a glass globe, however it is not sealed with a gasket.They run from dusk to dawn on a timer. To date I have had zero issues.

This is a gorgeous light but it is not sealed and so would not be suitable for a damp location.

i'm sure it could be plugged into an outdoor socket as long as it would not get wet. The light is designed for indoor use only and it's not weather proof

We use ours inside so not sure. If rather bulb is in an in closed fixture and/or under the house' serves, it should be ok.

I'm not am expert, but I don't see why not. Especially if it will be enclosed. Led lights are not affected by temperature swings like CFL bulbs.

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.

This bulb is a direct replacement for an incandescent version and the color is very comparable. I have not used outside but would imagine it would work just fine as long as it is in an enclosure as all the LEDs are Surface Mount Technology. So using the same enclosure of the original lighting would be fine...and there is no heat from these replacements as in a normal high output bulb. Hope this answers the question.

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.

I use mine outdoors but they are shielded from the weather. I have them in old fashioned glass jars.

I don't see why not. Especially if the enclosure is sealed. I'm really happy with these bulbs

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

That question is a tricky one. It depends how the manufacturer and what the manufacturer uses to dissipate heat generated at the junction between the circuit board and the LED. In sealed industrial LED applications, the heat sinks are enormous and can tolerate the junction inefficiency. I seriously doubt that residential LED bulbs are designed for that purpose, so I would not recommend using these in a sealed fixture.

This lamp does not have an all weather enclosure, but if you place it in a protected area, it should be fine outdoors. You will need the proper socket for it to work.

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.
