Can I use these for an outdoor light fixture?

You can assuming there is enough space in the bulb enclosure and the enclosure is waterproof

I used them for an outside fixture and had no issues. But its only been a year. So far so good

I don't see why not. As long as the present light is a weather-resistant installation, the adaptors should be fine.

I don't see why not. They appear to be sealed like any other light bulb on the market. So long as there is shielding from direct rain fall (as in a standard outdoor fixture) it should be fine. The only issue may be the light output. Generally outdoor lights for usable illumination are rated at 100 watts while this bulb is rated to replace 60 watt incandescent bulbs. It is still a bright light and perfect for indoor use or perhaps as a porch light, but as an area light for outdoors you may want something with more output.

Yes but not exposed to rain, sleet or snow, they start out dim and brighten as they heat up, you can use them, but I would suggest regular light bulbs, hope this helps, some !

Where they are used isn't an issue so long as the fixture in which they are used is rated accordingly. By careful to not use them where they are not approved, as there is a fire risk involved. If your fixture is not rated for 150 watts, you may be in danger.

No. They are NOT made for outdoor use. One would have to find a way to protect them from the elements which, since they are large, would not be practical. However, I'm sure it COULD be done, with some ingenuity. Hope this helps.

I don't see why not, they are just like the colored Christmas bulbs, just clear. They are very bright, though, and I'm not sure if they would be suitable for outdoors exposed to wet weather.

Yes, I am using these both inside and outside. Obviously needs to be in an approved outdoor fixture. These are better than CFL's outside, especially in cold weather, as they are instantly at full brightness without any warm-up period.

These lights are not meant for outdoor use, as they are not sealed to keep moisture out. You may be able to use them under an overhang where they are protected from the weather but they wouldn't last long where I live in New England.

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

I use them in fan lights base up without problems, to my knowledge. I also use them in outdoor fixtures with base down.

Sure. That is how I have them installed. However mine are under a patio cover. I wouldn't use them in the weather.

Hello,To be honest, I haven't used them outside yet. My fixtures outside are different than inside.

it would require making a study enough stake and possibly drilling a few hole in mounting braket. the fixture are weatherproof so it doesn't matter where you mount them.

Yes I think they stated they were ok for outdoor. We have used them outdoors for lighting a lawn area but take them in after the event

I'm not sure if they will be safe to use outside. You probably can, but I use them inside for my night lights.

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.
