We've had ours outside but under cover on our lanai for 3 years with no problems.

I have mine outdoors in a barbecue island. Only front is open to weather. It works fine after several years.

I believe it is ... we bought it for that reason. It was left outside all summer long with no problems.

yes it can be use outdoor. But keep in mind its rust resistance and not rust prove. So, eventually after years of usage it will rust.

I have one, It's not meant to be used Outside. Certainly if you put it outside, it will work, but I wouldn't want to get it wet or leave it exposed to extreme weather. I don't see it being capable of withstanding the elements.

According to the instructions it is not intended for outdoor use. We purchased it to use in an outdoor pond, and wrapped the controls in a plastic bag to protect from moisture.

The company should answer. However, I do not believe that this was designed for outdoor use.

This is rated for outdoor use. Ours has been installed under our pergola since last summer - it survived an extremely harsh winter and quite a few storms with extremely high winds. Works great again this year.

No, I returned it because it was in the outdoor section, but it was not rated for outdoor use.

It is not approved for use outside, but I have it outside under the eves so it is protected from the rain. It is very light, though and has a tendency to fall with high winds. I would recommend brining it in side if the weather is bad.

If by that you mean "is it water proof", almost nothing electrical that isn't sealed is safe for outdoor use. On the other hand it is ruggedly built with an on-off switch to turn on-off electrical power. But I wouldn't leave it outside in the rain.

I would not recommend it for outside use, its for indoor items that you constantly have to plugin and unplug, like cell phones, coffee makers, things like that. Outside have ground fault, if it gets wet if trips the fault. This item is not made for being exposed to the elements as far as I can see.

I do not think it is rated for exterior usage. I would check with the manufacturer. I do love the light and have seen versions of it in several home design publications and shows recently.

I don't believe the unit is rated for outdoors. My issue is that the company does not support their product. I got the unit because of the humidifier on it. The company told me I had to get a coke bottle for it and it would work. Any coke bottle I got did not work. They never offered a solution. Personaly I cannot recomend this product because I don't feel they back their own product.

No, I can't see it being for outside use. The wooden parts aren't treated. We use it at the bottom of our stairs to the second floor so our grandchild can't climb up unattended.

Product is not rated for use outdoor and because its uses electric I would not recommend exposuring it to getting wet.

It's not advertised as such, so it probably is not rated for outdoor use. That being said, I will add that the overall quality seems to be very good, and if the connection was suitably waterproofed (plastic and tape at least), I don't believe there would be a problem for short term usage. Since it wasn't designed or built for outdoor use (if it were, you can be sure it would say so!) there is no way to know how long or well it will stand up to extreme temperatures, UV rays, humidity, etc. If I had a reason to I would use mine outdoors, but I would expect it to fail at some point. To be honest, I didn't read the terms of the warranty, so I can't say whether it would be covered if used outside. But they're very reasonably priced, should you need to replace it! I've had excellent results with this company's products; because of that I say go for it!

No. It is definitely not designed for outside, but would probably do OK outside on a covered porch.
