Can these bulbs be used in an outside fixture?

Yes. They're regular light bulbs and can be used in appropriate light fixtures. Just ensure that your fixture is rated for outdoor use.

NO - not to my knowledge. I have these lights on the outside of my house, many. The bulbs through my experience has outlasted the light/circuit board.

I believe these bulbs need to be in an open fixture...They can be placed in a dome fixture if it's not full enclosed.

Mine is in our garage, but it is open to the south. I think if you had some kind of 'lamp', the bulb would be fine outside.

you should be able to. I leave identical bulbs outside and on 24 hrs per day everyday. They last summer and winter outdoors for years.

We use ours inside so not sure. If rather bulb is in an in closed fixture and/or under the house' serves, it should be ok.

Yes, I use them for outdoor lighting. Takes about 2-5 minutes to get to full brightness depending on the outside temp.

The packaging indicates you should not use these bulbs in a completely enclosed fixture. It doesn't say if there are safety concerns, or if the primary concern is decreased bulb life due to heat generation (which is minimal anyway).

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.

It could be used outdoors IF it is under an eave or patio cover. It is definitely NOT designed to be used in an open, weather exposed, condition. The amount of light (lumens) emitted from this fixture is limited. It's enough to provide emergency lighting in the event of a power failure but would probably prove insufficient in an open exterior location.

i don't believe so; i would never use outside.... it is a beautiful fixture though

I would only be guessing so please use your own judgment ... I suppose that if the light(s) did not give off excessive heat you might be able to use them with this fixture. There is some extra room inside the fixture if it is not loaded with all three of he possible LEDs "bulbs" it is capable of handling. Again, though, please be careful as I am no expert in these matters.

Yes you should be able to use those flood light bulbs , mine is outside, so I use outdoor bulbs only, but whether it is in or out you should be fine.

I don't see why not. They appear to be sealed like any other light bulb on the market. So long as there is shielding from direct rain fall (as in a standard outdoor fixture) it should be fine. The only issue may be the light output. Generally outdoor lights for usable illumination are rated at 100 watts while this bulb is rated to replace 60 watt incandescent bulbs. It is still a bright light and perfect for indoor use or perhaps as a porch light, but as an area light for outdoors you may want something with more output.

These are meant for open use in a chandelier, which is how I have been using them. If they were protected there should be no problem with using them outdoors. They are good bulbs.

They did not work for us in single bulb outdoor enclosed fixtures. The package states, "Do not use in multi-bulb enclosed fixtures together with other bulb technologies...". It does NOT say not to use them individually in outdoor enclosed fixtures. In fact, is also says "Suitable for damp locations but not for use where exposed directly to weather or water.", which seems to imply that enclosed fixtures are preferable. Unfortunately, two of the six bulbs we installed burned out in less than a week. I replaced the rest and will use them indoors. Hopefully, they will do better inside.
