If properly protected, can these be used outside for 30 days or so?

They are not rated for outside. The vents would allow weather to get in to the socket. You could enclose them but the stock lamp burns very hot. I have replaced the lamp with an LED par 38 and they burn much cooler. Still not weather proof but could be containable.

I use them outside a lot, but only for a couple days at a time. They get quite hot and are not designed to be used outside for extended periods. Keep a close eye on them and don't let them come into contact with anything that melts or might catch fire. Good luck.

They do have a protective coating on them of some sort. I have mine under a covered patio, but I do think they would hold up to moisture and rain.

I would say no. I am going to use these outside outside though and just seal them up with silicone. I am sure the sun is going to eat up the rubber coating quickly. I have tested some outside and put in ziplocks and it worked even when raining. They work but I am not sure how long they will last.

For the price I wouldn't hesitate to place these outside. The units are sealed and placed upside down, and the ant response was immediate. however, I did not place them outside. Good luck

I can't say definitely. We are using them inside. They do not appear weatherproof so my best guess would be "no". Here in SoCal there are many outdoor uses where they would be fine but that does not make them OK for other (wetter / colder) outdoor situations.

Not sure pal nothing lasts forever but if u protect them maybe they will serve your purpose good luck!They are great speakers and i left them outside all year hot and humid cold and snowy 5' feet still works great with no show of wear.

Yes, if they have some kind of covering. I have 2 outside in a wooden box on the deck. I wouldn't put them where its exposed to the elements.

They should not be out in the heat for too long. As long as you don't leave them sitting on a porch in direct sun I think they should be fine.

Nope. I wouldn't use them outdoors. Oh and they do work but they are a little flimsy.

I wouldn't think so, they are not rated to be used outdoors. That being said, you could probably enclose them in some sort of plastic bag or something, to keep the rain and snow off.

I don't think you should use these outside. They would not be protected from the elements.They may last a year or two days depending on how wet they got. Polk Audio sells outside speakers for all seasons. Unfortunately the don't recess but they sound great.

I doubt they would last in the weather. And the adhesive isn't all that strong. Rope lights are designed for outdoors

I think they will last that long with no problems. I keep mine in a sealed bag and soak in a weak fertilizer solution before I use.

They don't have an expected shelf life but they do put a "Best if used by" date on the package. I would think keeping them in a cool area out of direct sun will lengthen the live.

We use them for exterior with no problems. They are somewhat protected by our carport but are holding up fine

They're really thin gels, so, for a short period of time you're probably OK. As a permanent installation, I'd think you'd want them protected from the water.

No...Don't use outdoors. The shade is not heavy duty....I think outdoor weather might ruin them.
