Can these lights be used outdoors around a deck?

Probably. The lights themselves are well encased in a flexible plastic strip. However there is a plug in joint about every 2'. Over time these joints may be susceptible to corrosion.

I doubt they would last in the weather. And the adhesive isn't all that strong. Rope lights are designed for outdoors

I wouldn't use them out in the weather. We put them under a bar top and around the inside of a liquor/glass rack, but both locations are sheltered from any real weather.

The Mosaic light strips are "peal and stick." I would not use them around a deck for two reasons. 1) They won't stay stuck in place for very long IMO. 2) You can't run more than 15-20' off one power unit, so around a normal size deck you'd need 2-3 units. LED rope light is a better option IMO.

If you are going to use these outdoors, I'd recommend putting them in a waterproof enclosure. I use them quite a bit and when they get damp, LEDs fail.

I'm sorry, they are not constructed for outdoor use. Thanks for the question. ted

Yes, it just depends on how bright the light is outside. Just have a power source and youre fine.

I can't say what is best I. Your circumstance. The lights are a half circle with adhesive on the flat side. The adhesive isn't the best to use around water or anything in motion as the lights can separate from the surface they are adhered to. I did mount the lights in my live well; I mounted them to the horizontal side and went over he top with clear Duct Tape. They have done quite well. I left the tape about 3/4 to 1 inch beyond the lights themselves.

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.

Yes I think they stated they were ok for outdoor. We have used them outdoors for lighting a lawn area but take them in after the event

No, I wouldn't suggest that. The lights come with stakes that hold the lights up for the best effect. Also the wiring may get caught in the lawn mower blades.

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.

I use them in my landscape lights. These are sealed to be fairly weatherproof.

Hello,To be honest, I haven't used them outside yet. My fixtures outside are different than inside.

Carolyn, I had these lights outside on my railing and I did not have any problems with them. I liked them so much I am going to purchase some more.

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.

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

It is designed for use in dry areas, and non-enclosed, non-dimmable fixtures. So outdoor use is not recommended.

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.

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.
