Can this light to be used for the outdoor place?

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.

as I am an electrician I do not suggest any product to be used outdoors unless "waterproof" is specified, and the company will advertise that as it is a selling point. although any illuminator can be used outdoors if concealed in a weather proof enclosure.

I honestly do not know if it would be okay to put this light outside, but I wouldn't do it. It is a lovely fixture and looks delicate.

I say yes in a particular environment. I have it in a hanging light fixture in the back porch and it works well... The light is bluish, like moonlight!... And it serves the purpose, which is lighting the steps. So, outdoors,but under a roof!

Probabally not unless it was very close to the light. Indirect sunlight outdoors is not enough. However, this is a great choice for outdoors and it sure beats batteries and an on/off switch!

I am not sure how "protected" the area would be, however, this light is for indoor use only. I wouldn't recommend use outside due to moisture, etc.

I don't think so. It's great for a small, confined space like a shower. But it wouldn't have enough power for an outdoor place.

I have 2 of these lights and use them indoors. They would be good to use in a breeze way or on a well covered porch. But they are not water proof.

I doubt that it is rated for outdoor use. Perhaps in a weather-protected enclosure you could.

I don't thins so. I tried it for a closet light, but it was too dim. I would suggest an outdoor fixture, such as the ones sold by Home Depot - the ones with the wire protective cover. I'm used two of them by the doors in my apartment building and also for closet lights. Use them with LED bulbs and you will be happy.Heather

Yes, they can be used outside provided they are installed in a weatherproof, waterproof enclosure. I use them as accent landscape lighting to light the peaks of my home and they look great. Not to bright but not too dark.

I don't think so. I use it for my outdoor lights, i.e. front and back door lights.

Please disregard my previous answer; hit the wrong key. No, I wouldn't use it outside, totally exposed to the weather. People have used these in their garages, but never completely outside. I use them in my basement, which works really well, but these light fixtures were actually designed to be used in photography applications. People just adapt them for use in their houses and garages.

Probably could be used outside, although we used them in an inside light fixture. We ended up replacing them with brighter fluorescent bulbs in order to better illuminate the area, but the bulbs (brightness-wise) are great for somewhere were a softer light was desired. If you're looking for a white/daylight bulb, this one is not for you, though -- it's a bit yellow.

I did not use it, My electrician said it will not work with the sign lighting ( outdoor), so all I can say that it is not suitable for outdoor use.

Yes, I use this as an outdoor motion-sensor security light and it is very bright and seems that it will last a very long tie.

I believe that it could be used outdoors, provided it did not get wet, and was in a open ceiling or wall socket, as its not really designed for an enclosed lamp, etc.
