Any luck using these outdoors? Cold weather?

Yes - I use this light in my unheated garage and attic. Never had an issue.

All of mine are being used indoors but I think they would work as well outdoors as any incandescent or CFL bulb would.

Yes they are great for outdoor use. Had mine up through all the seasons including harsh winter

I have not used it in the cold only in the hot simmer but they did last most of the day as long as I did not continuously go back and look at pictures or play with the settings.

I hope they do, that is why I bought them. I just have not hooked them up yet. Since I don't have heat in the building I'm working on right now, they don't work in below 0 F temp.

I am sorry, but I still have not set them up. Weather is still too cold to work outside.

We have not used them outside. Only at the roller rink. They are very good quality so I think you could use them on the sidewalk/driveway.

yes, they work fine in winter, if blowing snow they may need brushed off, only problem I have had is humidity and extreme heat waves during sunlight interrupts signal on long distances.

I'm using them outside in a fixture that has a vented top & solid sides. They replaced incandenscents that worked OK and after a couple months seem to be doing fine. I'm in a warm & humid climate; can't speak to what would happen if very cold.

I live in PA and now it is winter! Have not had a chance to run in warm weather with these.

I have had no problem working the tumblers in the cold, it is outside but protected from the elements. I imagine if the tumblers get wet and ice up it could be a problem.

Yes I have used mine in the rain and in the snow but cold affects battery life

I would not recommend for cold weather. The reason we bought them is they zip together and wife and I could zip them together and sleep like in double bed. Zipper is a bit weak but overall a decent price and worked for us...

We've used them here when it's been pretty cold. They seem to fly well in the cold. As long as it is not really windy, I don't think you will have any problems. These are extremely good quality as well!! Allan

I would say no. I wore them motorcycling at +40°F 55mph, the wind felt like it was going right through them. Glad I tested them out before it really gets cold, I need to find a nice pair so I can keep cycling until it snows.

I bought a pair of these in late September. After about 150 miles of running something within them has given way and makes a noticeable rattling on the control (right ear) side.. They still work though, but just bear in mind that they are a consumable that will not last for years on end. Given that they are rechargeable, I figured I'd get about 18-24 solid months out of them, but sadly that may not be the case. I'll use them till they fail or if the rattling becomes overly obnoxious. I've used them in warm temps, freezing temps, light rain and snow and they work just fine. They aren't water/weatherproof, but given the physical breakdown I'll have no qualms against using them out in the elements. I bought a pair of these in late September.

They are not bad. I have had some 13 watts bulbs come on faster.. but it is not like it takes a minute before you see bright light.I do not know on cold weather. I have not tried these outside. I usually leave my outside cfl on 24/7 in cold weather, because they die out more quickly if you turn them off and on all the time in the cold.

Not at all - have had them out throughout the winter and all of our rain and have not had a problem.
