Is this product suitable for outdoors? It is in a sealed fixture and under cover from the elements.

I doubt it, but I didn't see any definitive statement on the boxes. I replaced existing 50 watt R30s floods in bathroom recessed downlights with frosted trims, and they work superbly; coverage and color are great. Check Lightkiwi's website which I found to be useful.

It's water resistant, I wouldn't take it underwater though. Rain should be no problem for these lights...

Not sure it's meant for outdoor use. I would think it would be fine as long as it doesn't get rwined on.

I wouldn't personally use it out in weather! You may find a way to cover it or modify installation, but this is an indoor product.

It is not a weather sealed outdoor light, but if it is under a roof where no rain would hit it, it would be ok.

I don' know if they are intended for outdoor use. However, I live near a beach and almost everything reacts to the humid and ocean spray conditions. After about 2 years these fixtures have held up very well.

Sorry, but I would not purchase this for outdoor use unless it is protected by a covering of some sort. I left mine out in the open and it was damaged after it got wet from the rain.

The instruction sheet says: "Although the lamp may be used outdoors, it is not water-proof and should be stored in a clean, dry environment."So, I wouldn't leave it outside all the time, and definitely wouldn't want it to get rained on. High winds could also blow it over and perhaps roll it some distance, as well, which would likely damage it.

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.

I do not know if it is for outdoor use. I use it in a garage. It is a great light. I love it. It works well.

I would say no. The individual LEDs of the bulb are exposed to the elements.

Fully out in the weather... I'd say no. But I have been using this in the overhead light socket on a covered porch for over a year.

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.

The fixture will hold up fine with wind and ice/rain if installed securely. It is a strait forward simple design. The shade is not deep so the bulb would be exposed to a driving rain. I use an indoor outdoor decorative bulb. Fixture is all metal, baring a direct hit from a wind driven projectile I expect this fixture to last indefinitely..

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 is an email reply I received from LEDwholesalers : While this item may be used outdoors, direct exposure to rain is usuallynot recommended. For example, installing this bulb in a fixture underthe eave would be better. Make sure that the bulb is oriented downwards(does NOT have to be vertical down) to prevent water from collecting atthe light socket.

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.
