Can these be used in an outdoor flood light?

The extender does not come with a protective circle tab. Certain bulbs now do not come with the circle tab. You would have to get one from the hardware store or fashion one out of a flat silicon sheet or a large rubber washer. There is also an electrical socket paste that waterproofs bulb sockets if all else fails. Good hunting.

Can be used in any fixture, any position where high heat and high wattage bulbs are required. Note that this will make the overall length of the bulb considerably longer, so be sure you have clearance.

Yes, as long as you use the moisture circle tab that comes with the bulb. When you screw this to the bulb, put the protective circle tab on the porcelain medium base socket extender. Just a side note, this item may not work for all applications. the porcelain sleave may get in the way. I purchase this because of high heat concerns but the sleave prevented proper connection. If you are using CFL or LED bulbs, check with your local hardware store for extenders. Be aware that plastic is the only choice they have. Hope this helps.

The bulbs are made of pretty thick glass. I don't see any reason they wouldn't work outdoors.

I don't think so. I have several of these that I use for indoor small flood lights.

Yes. The new "curly" flood lights don't fit my outdoor flood fixtures. They're too wide. These are the same size flood lights as we have bought for years and fit fixtures perfectly.

It all depends on the rating of the circuit and how many other loads are on it. A typical residential lighting circuit is 15A (15A breaker in the panel) or in some cases 20A. A flood light has two bulbs, say 150W each for a total of 300W, which divided by 120V (Ohm's law) yields 2.5A. If there is room for extra 2.5A on an existing circuit, without going over its rating, then it is OK to install the flood lights on that circuit. I hope it helps.

I have some outdoors currently, but they would probably not work if they got wet. I have one in an enclosed lantern so that water can't get in.

Probably could be used outside, although we used them in an inside light fixture. We ended up replacing them with brighter fluorescent bulbs in order to better illuminate the area, but the bulbs (brightness-wise) are great for somewhere were a softer light was desired. If you're looking for a white/daylight bulb, this one is not for you, though -- it's a bit yellow.

I suppose you can but I would not recommend as the lumination is too low for a flood light.

It will work outdoors. I am using at least 4 as accent light outside with the light fixture belowParadise GL22724BK Low-Voltage Cast-Aluminum 20-Watt Halogen Floodlight with Glass Lens, BlackHope it helps.

Maybe, but check the label, it will indicate whether the bulb is designed for outdoor use. I believe this is NOT their outdoor flood model.

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.

It is similar to an incandescent flood, but not as bright as the incandescent 150 watt flood. I use them for outdoor lighting around the house and they are just fine, and cheep too!

I have only used them as chandelier bulbs..they have small fittings similar to Christmas lights. My answer to you is they are not described as OUTDOOR LIGHTS.

You can dim them, but they are the size of a regular 60W bulb and weigh much more. So don't know if they will fit in the space for a mini flood spot.

They will work for low voltage applications. Being outdoors they have to be enclosed in the waterproof box or fixture as they themselves are not waterproof. I used them for few months and love them. No more exposed wires while changing fixtures or ballasts. Make sure to rise the locking arms compete 90 degrees as it's kind of a hard push and not intuitive that it's so hard.

They should be fine. I used them to mount rigid flood lights and there was no trouble.

I don't think so. I am using them in outdoor stringlights. You should ask the seller. This seller provides amazing customer service, and is very attentive.
