What is the operating temp limit? These are for an enclosed waterproof landscape housing.???

dont waste your money on these, i bought 10 and within a year with only 4 hours use a day they all failed. this company has no customerservice, waste of money

I haven't discovered the temp limit but am using these in the Paradise GL22724BK Low-Voltage Cast-Aluminum, which is a sealed system spot light housing for over a year now...works very well...no degradation in illumination or color

If you look at a lot of these on Amazon you will find some that say "for indoor use only" or "not for use in closed fixture". Some apparently do produce enough heat that a closed fixture will cause them to overheat.

Runs cool. I have it in an enclosed landscape light, but it used to have a halogen light in there, like most do. Either way you cut it, it's much cooler than the halogen.

It's controlled by a thermal switch normally open set at around 35 to 36 degrees, then turns off around 43 degrees. Is set to keep the water from freezing.I've taken it apart and had to replace the thermal switch on a few of them, they tend to go bad when they get wet. Stv

They are not waterproof. I do not use them in an irrigated area. Incidental water/rain does not seem to be a problem. I also bring them in during the late Fall and Winter months.

I have this exact setup, purchased through amazon. They are mounted under sofit, and so far been in sleet, snow, rain for days straights, and very hot and humid weather. In my experience yes they are so far in fact weatherproof

Packaging says: "-Suitable for use in operating environments ranging between -23c and +45c (-13f and +113f) Lifetime may be reduced if used in air tight enclosures...""-Suitable for damp locations, but not for use where exposed directly to weather or water."

These units are not waterproof. They are sealed fairly well and might hold up as long as they don't get wet.

It is not weather resistant, it is unsealed and water could probably damaged the circuitry. Operating temperature is 14° - 122° Fahrenheit

I live in Vermont... It's cold here... last winter we were frequently in the -15°F range... These operate on watch batteries - 2nd winter running and I haven't changed them yet. My only suggestion is be careful mounting them with screws, if it's cold and you over-tighten the screw you crack the mounting plate.

I have tried them in an outdoor lamppost enclosure (rainproof) but they do not last due to degradation from the humidity. < 6 months even with occasional use. I am in the Southeastern USA; maybe in low-humidity regions they would last longer.

Per the instruction manual from -10 to +50°C. The outdoor unit need to be under shade and shield from rain.

I mounted them per the directions. They are not listed as ic but I ran them for two days straight with a thermal couple attached an the temp of the driver never exceeded 120f. That's well below the fire rating of all insulation. If you are really worried about it I suppose a simple disposable alum pan covering the unit should suffice.

These generate a good amount of heat. If you're putting them in a waterproof fixture, you need to make sure they don't overheat considering the sealed container. I would think it is best to verify with the manufacturer.

The box states: "do not use where directly exposed to water". It also specifies that they should not be used in a completely enclosed fixture.I am sure you can find an LED replacement bulb someplace that is suitable for your landscape fixtures though.

What temperature are we talking about? I would not leave them out in direct sunlight at 100F.

I am currently using outside on my porch without issues. Temp rated 40C to -25C on the box.

I use mine in a covered patio outside so it is not exposed to the elements. Be waterproof but they do work pretty good they function very well very happy with mine

Don't really understand the question but these are 30 amp relays and are not weather proof. Hope this helps
