I don't really know, but I would assume it's possível as long as the bulb is somehow protected

Yes it should work fine but consider getting a light that is not dimmable. Purchasing this model costs more because of the dimmable feature. You would probably save $5 buying a non dimmer.

If the outdoor fixture has a photo-sensor (only comes on in the dark), you will want a dimmable bulb. A non-dimmable bulb, whether CFL or LED, is likely to buzz, flicker, and/or burn out very quickly in any fixture with a photo-sensor.

it depends on what you mean by good. Is it durable enough? yes. would I use it outside? if I had an extra one sure. it depends how bright you want you light post. if you actually want to see rather than for aesthetics then, yes use it

The answer is yes. I had it inserted into my outside lamp and it worked (when it wanted to). I liked it at first because it seemed to do what it stated it would do, but after a while, it came on when it wanted to and shut off when it wanted to. I personally don't recommend this bulb.

Yes. I have not had any issues with it in the rain or snow. It is covered in an outside light fixture so the fixture protects it from the rain and snow. It is the best outside bulb I have ever had. I turned it on the first time and have not turned it off -- it comes on at dusk and turns off when it gets light in the morning. I searched and searched for a bulb this great and finally found the perfect outside bulb.

In side a garage should be fine most likely, i installed mine in the spring so mine has only gone through maybe mid 20's so far, didn't have it yet when it was -25.In reference above my bulb is outside as a street lamp above the garage, so the mid or high 20's its felt so far was full force

This bulb is not for an oven it is 12V not 120V. It is made for landscaping; I had it for close to one year and have not have any issues with it.

Yes...I have one outside on my side entrance. It its just the bulb and the socket, no lamp cover or protection. I live in Colorado and its been through rain, snow, and sun for over a year

I have two of these lights at the street on each side of my driveway and have had them for about two months now and the work perfectly. I don't know what is going on with our lights, just that mine is and has always worked great and we like them very much. I am sorry that I can't be of help with this issue, just wanted to let you know that mine is doing great.George Greenwood

Yes, I used mine as outdoor Christmas lights. Part of a strand did not work, but the rest worked well in cold/snowy weather for the few weeks while they were up.

Of course I don't know what patio lights you have. But I bought these for those standard windowsill candlestick lights you see at Christmastime. My patio & driveway lights are a similar shape, but more than twice as large. The best thing is to look at the base of one of the existing bulbs with a magnifying glass. You should be able to see enough numbers to do an Amazon or Google search. I've never happened to see an outdoor light that takes a 5 Watt bulb, but that doesn't mean much.

I use these bulbs in post fixtures in Indiana. I have had better luck with these bulbs than others.

Yes it will be fine buy I would suggest that you use at least a sixty watt bulb. I really like mine, orderef two.Merry Xmas

I don't recall anything on the box that about that. This bulb only goes into special fixtures. So if the fixture was made for exterior use I would think it protected the bulb. A previous poster mentioned using a dusk to dawn timer. Those are often used outside. But it is a CFL and low temps are a factor in light output until the bulb heats up.

I also use these in my post lamps outside, along with the exterior light at the door.

Hi - I ordered this a few weeks ago to plug into a brand new outdoor light fixture I purchased at Lowes, so I could insert a regular incandescent 25 watt lightbulb, and that size sounds about right. I can go home and measure it tonight and get back with you. Karen

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.

Do not believe it will. Suggest you find the user manual on the net to see how it can be used. Put mine on a post light and it has been working for over 5 years worth the effort if doable on your application.

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.
