Can we use this in a waterproof box outside? It is for a new pool light and we have to walk outside around our house to turn it on and off.

I'm not sure, but I would assume the entire thing would have to be kept dry, not just the part in the box. The "square" on the front, below the LCD readout, lifts up and has several buttons underneath- does not look weather proof to me.

Sure, there is no reason you could not. It fits into the space of a single pole switch. I have installed several outdoor boxes for outdoor lighting, the timer switch would work fine - I didn't do it, but no chance of any problems.

The short answer is I don't know. The long answer is that after installing the timer/switch, I haven't had to touch it other than when the time changes twice a year and I want to set the clock appropriately. So, if it is in a waterproof box outside and no moisture gets in, I would guess it would work. My thinking is that it is really easy to install and the item is not all that expensive, that I would give it a try, and if it doesn't work, then go to the more expensive options.

I see no reason why not. It uses the same single-gang format as other receptacles that could be put into a waterproof box.I don't have the packaging with me anymore to see if it has temperature limits though...

Can you use it outside, yes. Is it an outdoor light, no. It's not waterproof at all. The power cord is only like 5ft, and you wouldn't be able to see them unless it's dark with almost no other lights around it. if you keep rain off of it you might be able to use it for less than a day outside, but if you left it outside to get rinsed on it would break

No. Control box and/or lights are NOT water proof. I've tried sealing them... but the materials used in their manufacturing and shipped are not par, for upgrades.

Yes you can use outdoor, but depend which person you buy from. I had two of these, one working great in dark and another one is useless. Make sure you can return this product is not working.

I dont recomend to use outdoor. It is an eletronic lock and it isnt waterproof.

No. Don't get it wet. It needs to be compliant with FL1 standards. You need to spend about $30 more to get a good waterproof light. But believe me it's worth it!

I don't understand. Explain how you would put this into a flood light sensor. Which sensor won't work, your existing one? This is made to support only one light. It sounds like you have an existing flood light at has a sensor that doesn't work any more. If you can activate that original system to remain on all the time then you could screw this device into an existing light socket and it should work. I don't know if this device is water proof, you may need to shield it from the weather.

The power source it self is not waterproof,however if you keep it in or under a dry and cool area then yes you can use it out doors. You will have to waterproof the power source and your connection your self.Hope this helps and good luck

I have used it exclusively outdoors. I installed about 5 of them. 1 of them went out almost immediately. The others have worked well for about a year now. My lights are under the eaves of the house, and therefore not exposed directly to rain.

I do not know. It is advertised as waterproof for camping etc. I purchased mine strictly for a strong indoor light (which it has) in case of power outage.

It is designed for use in dry areas, and non-enclosed, non-dimmable fixtures. So outdoor use is not recommended.

I dont see why it wouldnt work outside BUT not what it is made for. Light is extremely bright so might effect neighbors and I would worry about it being damaged or stolen. Great light tho!

Don't think it's because your using outdoors, it's labeled for indoor or out door use. I use two of them in my outdoor security lights, and have not had any problems. My lights are protected by the roof overhang, but even if they weren't the fixture is sealed well enough to keep the weather out. it sound like others have mentioned, a loose bulb, or a loose electrical wire connection

This box is not water proof.if you mount it outside you would want to drill holes in the bottom to let the water out.

I think that the unit is water resistant which is NOT waterproof. The light is recharged via a USB slot and therefore prone to some possible water seepage. There is a rubber insert that slots into the USB port but that can be dislodged if not inserted carefully and therefore could expose the unit to possible water leakage.

Yes, I have had mine outside for several months on uncovered doors of a pool enclosure. So far so good. Attach the base. Add the top and then silicone all around the outside. Check connection to magnet. Don't worry about waterproofing the magnet side. Check the silicone from time to time and redo when you change the battery.

it is waterproof as I am using it. It inserts (sits flush) in the socket intended for it. The rubber seal that surrounds the light is very snug. when I pulled out the old light fixture to replace it with the new one, there was no evidence of water leaks. I am using it on a horse trailer as the brake light.
