Are these bulbs able to be used outdoors?

Don't count on it. I suppose if the fixture is well-sheltered like on an enclosed porch you'll be OK, but I wouldn't expose the bulb to driving rain. I use them indoors.

I just read on the box that they are not rated for exposure to the weather.

They do not appear to be rated for outdoor use. However, I am successfully using two other LED bulbs in outdoor locations that are not rated for outdoors either. Neither bulb is directly exposed to rain, and both face downward. One is underneath a large soffit area, and one is installed in a "barn light" type hooded fixture. Hope this helps!

This item is or indoor use only. The only outdoor PAR30 we carry at the moment is B00D2JDG7U, which is a regular long neck with a wide beam angle.

I'm not sure about this bulb but here's the PAR30 bulb that I use for my outdoor applications. I'm loving the light output plus the item's really durable, just be sure that the bulb is not exposed directly to the rain: Triangle Bulbs (Pack Of 4) 12-Watt (75-Watt) PAR30 LED Flood Light Bulb, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,

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.

Yes - I use these bulbs on exterior landscape lighting fixtures that are on a 12 volt a/c (via Malibu low voltage transformer). You can use any normal 120 volt incandescent fixture (which takes normal "old fashioned" bulbs), add to a low voltage line and utilize these low-voltage LED bulbs. They do a great job - so far 7 months running 4 hours per night and no problems. Do not put bulbs in a normal residential 120 volt circuit.

The lamps are not specifically rated for outdoor use, but I have 2 of them in the ceiling outside my front door and don't expect any problems there. My opinion is that they will be fine as long as they are not getting rain-drenched. I plan to put them in my exterior flood fixtures that are kind of funnel shaped and the bulbs fit well inside them.

Absolutely, I've had my string up for aprox. 3 months now and they looks the same as they did out of the box. I was impressed with how well the bulb fit into the rubber, weather proof, socket. These things are made to be outside.

Under "Caution" it states on the outside of the box, quote "For indoor or outdoor use where not directly exposed to weather, exposure to weather may damage the bulb." end quote

I would say yes. We use them in lamps but I don't see why you couldn't use them in hall ceiling fixtures or outdoor lighting.

I don't see why that would be a problem. They aren't like florescent bulbs that need to stay warm or take forever to warm up if they're cold. LED's don't care much about ambient temperature.

No, these are not rated for outdoor use. If you have any other questions just let us know!

I use them outdoors, they have a clear gel coating on them so I'd say they are weather resistant. Power supply voltage and regulation is critical with these they won't last long with a non regulated supply. I run the ones I have at 12.8 volts and they've lasted for six months all night every night. I've run some of these bulbs with a power supply which stated 12vdc but was actually putting over 16volts needless to say these bulbs lasted about 2 weeks before flickering and burning out. They will last a long time with proper power supply.

Yes, they can be used outside provided they are installed in a weatherproof, waterproof enclosure. I use them as accent landscape lighting to light the peaks of my home and they look great. Not to bright but not too dark.

Yes, they are outdoor deck lights and can be wherever they will be exposed to the weather, including rain.

Yes. I have my Cree bulb in 2 outdoor fully enclosed lighting fixtures. These Cree bulbs are ideal for that application.

No, an outside fixture that exposes the light bulbs to the weather should not have "regular" bulbs... such bulbs are intended to used inside, protected from the weather. You must use an exterior bulb, easy to find in a flood lamp, also in energy efficient flood/spot bulbs. Be careful to check that the bulb is able to stand up to rain and snow hitting it, even when it is hot. Of course if you put the fixture inside a "box" and shine the light out a window, regular bulbs can be successfully used LOL.

I used them outdoors, no problem. They were however, inside a light fixture.

There is no indication that these LED lights are either indoor or outdoor. They are low voltage/wattage and therefore should not be suseptible to outdoor temperatures. I am not sure if they are waterproof though, or what would happen if rain got into them. If they are sheltered from the elements I doubt it would be an issue.

They don't get hot so I imagine they'd do OK. Not sure how many candelabra base fixtures are available for you to put these in. Many outdoor lamps come pre-installed with LED bulbs these days. I just bought two of them at my local store and they look great.
