Will it work outside in carport or closed garage light fixtures?

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

I have only used them inside or in a drop light. I would not be afraid to try them outside if sheltered from weather and ventilated. CREE is one of the better manufactures but I have not tried them outside.

The Cree 18-Watt (100 Watt equivalent) bulbs will NOT work in ANY fully-enclosed fixture. They will overheat & burn out very quickly. They generate more heat than they can withstand when enclosed. I have spoken with Cree, & they said that their 75-Watt equivalent bulb (and below) CAN be used in fully-enclosed fixtures, but the 100-Watt cannot.

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.

Yes - you can mount the light anywhere as long as the solar panel is exposed to the sunlight - the cable is 3 feet long. I mounted my light inside the carport with the sensor point out to detect anyone walking into the carport. I am amending my review on this light - it worked for 2 weeks and now it has failed.

I'm sure it will. My dog sets it off every time he walks by mine under our carport.

I installed mine in a covered outside garage light in order to power Christmas decorations. The light housing has a metal top and glass plates on all four sides. The bulb is inserted through the open bottom of the light housing. Since the adaptor is inside the class cover where the light bulb goes it is protected from rain or snow there. It works fine so far.

yes, it will work . the bulb can be used in both outdoor and indoor setting as long as its in a full or semi closed enclosurecheers

Personally I used inside but works of for the garages sensors. I will say you can place it outside but must be away from rain. What I did recommend you for operation ranges make test before you decide where to place it.

I have two outside garage LED lights and it is working fine. Was easy to setup, if you follow the instructions.

Hello my friend Philip,Frankly speaking, I would not recommend you to install this downlight outside. As you can see, it is not waterproof , nor weather-proof.So pls kindly install it for indoor to maintain the downlight a long using lifespan and a good working condition.Any question, pls contact Lemonbest freely, as we're always here for your help.Nice day.Lemonbest

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.

This is a question best directed to the manufacturer. However, I would offer that if it is not too cold to prevent regular batteries in a flashlight kept in the garage from working it will probably be all right. I'd also take into consideration where it is placed--certainly not on an outside wall or directly in front of a window or other indirect exposure to the elements.

Sure will, just put it in a place where it won't get wet. Works great as a light to see where you're going, and lots of light directly under it.

My lights are mounted under the carport with only the solar panel out in the weather.

I think the fixture would need to be enclosed as the light has vents. Also with the sensor being on the bottom it wouldn't register movement it can't see.

Hi Becky, I have not used for outdoor use so I am not sure. Follow the maximum wattage and maximum voltage for your fixture, it should work unless it is exposed to the elements, rain, etc. or go back to your fixture company customer service, ask them for help.

I believe that it could be used outdoors, provided it did not get wet, and was in a open ceiling or wall socket, as its not really designed for an enclosed lamp, etc.

It works perfect on my porch...for the garage it will work... only I don't think it will light it up like a spot light will.
