Can this be used as an outdoor porch light?

The top and bottom are open so the bulbs would be exposed. I don't think they should be used outdoors but technically they can

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 wouldn't suggest it be used for outside lighting. The glass is real fragile and the outside elements may be to harsh. You may be able to use for a sunroom or screened in porch.

I would not use this light in an outdoor application. Both the top and bottom are open, exposing the bulbs and housing to the elements. There are better choices.

I think the 1st two responses are correct. Hardware-House lighting is well constructed but, this line is not intended for outdoor use. I would error on the side of safety and install outdoor rated lights and fans. Please feel free to call me if you have other questions or concerns. We'll be glad to help.ChristopherComplete Home Hardware615-794-3880

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

I don't see why not. When I pull in my driveway the light comes on right away. I would imagine it would do same in front of garage. Plus the fixture is very appealing!

I just used it on the front porch light and it works very well. I don't see why you couldn't contect it to something else so long as the input is 60hz 120v.

I believe it would work provided the switch on the light was left in the ON position, your porch switch would then control power to the light. There is an identical light on Amazon that has a motion sensor in it that is advertised as a porch light. You may want to look at that one too.

Yes. We have them set up for our front porch lights. It is great if we are coming home late because we can turn the lights on via our cell phones and alarm system.

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.

Yep! We used it for an outdoor string of lights (although we use it inside). Love it.

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.

I doubt if it is waterproof. It could be used outside if you didn't need the light to work, however the base would have to be weighted.

No. It is definitely not designed for outside, but would probably do OK outside on a covered porch.

Probably not. It doesn't stay on very long, and doesn't always come on when I walk in front of it. I have it installed above my front door mainly so if I forget to leave the porch light on I will have some light to find the keyhole to put in my key and open the door. The light lights up my front porch -- maybe 4'x4' -- but not much else and only sometimes since it doesn't always come on. And, like I said, it doesn't stay on long, probably less than 30 seconds, though I've never timed it.

Yes, I have mine plugged in at my house for my porch.....they are great - BRIGHT if you use anything other than 15 watt bulbs but I really like them.

Can this be used outdoors in a mostly enclosed (bottom is slightly open) post fixture?

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.

Yes. I currently have mine installed upside down in an outside porch light fixture.
