Can these be used outdoors? I am looking to use them in our carved pumpkins outside? Thanks.

I honestly don't think they would be bright enough on medium to large pumpkins. I would use the plastic tea lights with the silicone flames. They seem to be brighter.

I use mine indoors but why not try just 1 or 2 outdoors and see how they fair. My daughter has hers on her fence in the yard. Of course we live in California where we don't have to worry about weather. Good luck

Sorry, didn't answer your question of wether or not they can be used outdoors. I would say yes. I don't use them where I live because of the heat here. The wax would melt in the summer.

Yes. I use several of these candles in lanterns displayed on our deck. The timer is a great function, because I don't need to go outside to turn them on or off, its done automatically every nite. I love the idea of using them in the pumpkins...looks like I will be buying more of these!

Yes, they can! They can be used anywhere! I love them for that reason, because you don't have to worry about them. Be sure to get extra batteries and keep them on hand, I always do. Enjoy them, I know you will!

They are battery operated. I would put them in a small votive holder . They are very nice

They are indoor only. I would definitely not advise using them outdoors. Even in an entry alcove.

Yes they can be used outside if they are covered before a rain storm.The only part that isn't painted is the leveling screw that ajusts the height of the seat.This item needs to be oiled from time to time.great item.Vince

I only used mine indoors, but don't know why they couldn't be used outdoors. metal and painted black, should be ok outdoors

I would think they could be used outside but may be less effective especially if it rains. Terro makes a product specifically for outside use that I have used and is just as good. They even have spikes to hold them in the ground.

I have some outdoors currently, but they would probably not work if they got wet. I have one in an enclosed lantern so that water can't get in.

I would use them outdoors as long as the bulbs are not directly exposed to rain. You might want to seal the screw cap diffuser with some teflon tape to improve moisture protection. A 12 volt bulb would not cause any danger of electrocution so try it! I would! If the bulb is visibly exposed, consider the Warm White Light Bulb instead of the High Power White LED Bulb. Both kinds put out about the same amount of light, an amazing amount of light considering the low power draw. I am super pleased with these bulbs and I certainly would put them in outdoor lighting. On the box they claim the bulbs will last up to 100,000 hours. That is 11.4 years if my math is correct. I hope this was helpful. Alfred Thorsberg.

Yes, they could be stored/played with outdoors. I wouldn't leave them outside in the weather for a long period of time.

These can certainly be used outside, but they need a good flat surface - so not gravel or loose dirt. They work great on asphalt, concrete, and seamless wood.

No. They are not wax covered and therefore can be used outside. They do flicker, however, and for a small votive seem realistic enough.

I haven't tried it myself (yet), but that's a good idea. For a small-med sized jack-o-lantern these should be good. For a larger pumpkin, these may be too dim. Hopes this helps!

Ms. Romero, The ones I ordered for the grandchildren are used for outside fun. I personally would not trust them on wood floors.

I agree with all the responses below. I would not put these outdoors. I know there are other votives that claim they are waterproof but not this one.

When I placed my order, I was under the impression that they were suitable for outdoor use. I have them in a covered area (gazebo), and I am going to leave them out over the winter. We'll see how they do. They look like they are for use indoors. FYI: They were VERY easy to assemble.

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'm sorry, they are not constructed for outdoor use. Thanks for the question. ted

I use them outside in New York State, though I bring them in for the winter. Unless you have an extremely strict homeowner's association, then yes, they can be used outdoors
