Outdoor use? I want to mount this outside under a porch (partially but not fully concealed from the weather). I plan on using this during the winter

Keep in mind, it's just an extension cord, so yes, and no. I'm not sure it's designed to be subjected to rainfall entering the compartment; I'm sure it would affect the rewinding mechanism.

I would not recommend this for outdoor use. There are far too many places that moisture could sneak in. However, if you mount it upside down underneath some form of cover that can keep it dry it should be OK. For a while :)

Yes...this can be mounted under eave....It does have a photo cell "dusk till dawn" to go along with motion sensor.This unit sticks out a ways...so if anything slides down the roof...ice, snow, ect. might clip the lights

I have used it externally and have seen others use it that way also--but that is not to say it was intended to be. Outside the insulation will eventually deteriorate and crack due to weather and sunshine but that will take a while. Best wishes!

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

Mine has been mounted under my porch awning for about a year now. No problems

This unit would not be practical to mount on the outside of a door, particularly if expesed to the weather. Also, it could easily be removed, so there is a security problem. Technically, it could do that whiich describe.

I would only mount this in a weather proof space. The weather elements may make your warranty null and void. This works though.

I do use it outside semi protected under a bar. It's been through snowy winters too but again under a ledge

it should be protected from rain and freezing temperatures.so it can be mounted outdoors but in a weather protected location (ie. a box). used mine under a tarp one summer.

Yes, this is for outdoor use only. This must also be hung at least 30-45 feet from your home and at least 5 feet off the ground.

It is not designed for that, and is not moisture resistant, so I would not do so. Units designed for outdoor use are designated as such by UL.

I agree with other feedback. I would NOT use this where it is exposed to weather. I keep mine on the south facing dash of my infrequently used truck to keep the remote and security system from draining the battery dead.

In the description it says it is safe for outdoor installation, we never installed it outside. The base shown in the image has screw holes in it and is what you would use to mount it outside. It comes with screws to be able to mount it to a wall or some type of support.

It would be subject to freezing in cold climates, otherwise I do not see a reason why it can't be installed outdoors. The plastic housing would likely degrade over time in direct sunlight so a shady location would be better.

Yes, mounts outside. Suggest putting a gasketing material to seal out moisture completely.

Ours is on a covered porch and is holding up great. I wouldn't recommend leaving it uncovered outside in the weather year-round.
