Can they be used in porch light fixtures that are under a covered porch?

Just make sure there's ventilation. The aluminium fins warm up pretty quick.

I haven't tried, but I don't see why not. As long as you don't live in a place that gets tons of rain and mold grows on things, you should be ok.

I don't see why not. My only concern if it is protected from inclement weather, it will attract every bug in the neighborhood .

Yes. They can be used just like regular bug lights that you use in covered areas. They are the same size as regular light bulbs.

The answer is YES.....LED lamps differ from almost every other source of electric lighting, in that they give off as much light (lumens) as higher-wattage incandescent bulbs - but with virtually NO heat. That part alone makes them especially efficient, and very well suited for indoor applications. That, plus the fact that you probably won't have to replace it for the next ten years or so, makes LED lamps a particularly good investment.... However, 'Natural' light is too 'unnatural' for me - I prefer something in a 'warm' color range (2700K to 3000K max.) and this bulb didn't do it for me. Warm-light LED bulbs have just recently shown up on the market, and I'm currently searching for a replacement for this all-too-bluish Samsung bulb on my front porch. So much for that...now I am reminded of a favorite joke: Q: How many Psychiatrists does it take to change a light bulb? A: Only one, but it takes a long time - and the bulb really has to want to change.

I have a Ever 10w E27 A19 LED Bulb inside a downward facing outdoor fixture with motion sensor on the front of my house in front of the driveway. I find that since this LED bulb shines most of the light towards the end of the bulb that the downward facing fixture would be the better option. This 10w bulb lights up my 30 ft wide driveway as well as any light bulb as I have ever used or better because of its light pattern. I would not use any other type of light bulb after using this Ever LED bulb.

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.

That depends on humidity. The light fixture will work anywhere, but since it is made of salt, the humidity i the air might damage it. Do a test: get some small pink himilayan salt chunks from your local whole foods or wegmans and put them in a little bowl on your porch. Observe how they hold up for a few weeks. If they don't erode or degrade in any way, then you should be fine with using this lamp on your porch. Hope that helps! :)

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 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.

The answer to this is that they are larger than a halogen. I'm also not certain that these would be what you're looking for in this type of application either being that I don't think they would produce the type of light that would be sufficient for under cabinet lighting. If it were me I would spend the money and replace the unit with an LED under cabinet system. These lights work great for outdoor path lighting but I couldn't imagine being bright enough for anything else. I am extremely satisfied with these lights.

No, I don't believe you can. I would research for you, but my lights are deep in the attic. I will say they looked great in my yard last year.

I don't see why not. Just make sure no part of the shade is touching the light bulb.

I wouldn't try it. The top is open to the elements. Generally outdoor fixtures are more closed off. You probably would get a lot of bugs and they would be visible through the glass. If your porch is closed off it might work.

Yes they can. Note these are 12 Volt bulbs and fit in a socket that is designed for it. As long as they have the transformer built into the fixture they will work fine. We have them installed in there pendent fixture without a dimmer switch and they work OK.

I think that could work. The lights have worked great. Not the easiest to install but for the price worth it and they do function properly. I have mine under kitchen cabinets on a dimmer switch in the wall.

I'm really not sure, but i don't see why not. Mine are in vanity lighting so the end is opened. I love the light that these put out.

i think that would work well. I have them as under cabinet lights in the kitchen, and under the baseboards in my daughters room. very nice

Yes you can and they work great. I use them for my outside house lights to come on and off at a set time.

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.

I would think so, I've used them in enclosed and non-enclosed fixtures with no problems.

Mine are used in a fixture that uses a photo sensor to turn it on automatically after dark. For such an application, the answer is "Yes".

Mine are installed inside but I don't see why they couldn't be put in a covered porch. As long as they stay dry.
