I plan to use this for outdoor led deck lights. Is it suitable for mounting outdoors?

No, this unit is not protected from the elements and must be mounted in a clean dry place.

I believe if you enclose the power supply and dimmer in a waterproof container protected from the weather and use waterproof led strips, it should work. The power supply and dimmer could even be installed inside the house and weatherproof wiring used to go to the strips on the deck. I personally would try to install the weatherproof led strips under the railing, so it also would be protected from sunlight. Just remember all conections should be waterproofed. I believe these have unlimited fun and functional uses.

no it would not be. it might be if you put it in a waterproof container. it works great for inside my camper. moisture would wreck it for sure

Yes, it works great. Just remember, the unit is not water-proofed, so you need to make it so. You can just put it into a grey weather-tight box (any hardware store) with a weather tight top and silicone the wires in and out. The RF goes right thru the plastic box.

I believe so, as long as you have 12-volt power available. I don't see anything about "weatherproofness" so I would protect it from rain. You might try a search on "outdoor led dimmer". You would need to determine how many LED's this can handle vs how many you have.

I've had these in my RV for a while now and still really like them. I believe so, as long as you have 12-volt power available.

I would probably recommend against it. Even though it's low voltage, the lack of insulated/sealed wire terminals would be a no-go for me, unless mounted in a weather-proof box. I can't speak for the internals as I have not taken it apart, though I would guess that for the price, it does not have any sort of rubber grommet between case components. If mounting it in a weather proof box is not an option, it may offer enough range to let you mount it inside and control it from your deck area.

I would not use this light in an outdoor application. Both the top and bottom are open, exposing the bulbs and housing to the elements. There are better choices.

Yes, easy to mount. Very bright indoors or outdoors; lights up a dark road.

It's just a guess, but if the fixture in which it is mounted protects it from direct contact with the elements, I would say it is plausible for use out doors.

I have two outside garage LED lights and it is working fine. Was easy to setup, if you follow the instructions.

I don't think so. I use it for my outdoor lights, i.e. front and back door lights.

It is a VERY HEAVY DUTY mount, so I would think so, but don't know for sure (ours is an LED)....hope this helps

I mounted mine on me eves around my house and had no problems. I use them as security lights. Hope this helps you.

I believe you could. I mounted my outside near my deck and ran an electrical cord to it. It works great.

Really designed for outdoor use, and the shade is rather large diameter for bedroom wall mounting. You would also need to modify the wire leads to connect to an outlet; they are designed to connect via wire nuts to existing house wiring.

Yes, it's designed to mount outdoors. There are two holes in the base that you can use to secure it to something.

Please disregard my previous answer; hit the wrong key. No, I wouldn't use it outside, totally exposed to the weather. People have used these in their garages, but never completely outside. I use them in my basement, which works really well, but these light fixtures were actually designed to be used in photography applications. People just adapt them for use in their houses and garages.

Yes. I actually ordered this for outdoor application. Just make sure your terminals are weather-sealed.

To the best of my knowledge, this Malibu fixture is designed only for in-ground stake use. Amazon's Paradise GL22724BK fixture and Lowe's Portfolio series fixtures (that are the same light, I think) thread into a stamped metal stake or can also be screwed into a bracket, sold by Lowe's, for tree and wall mounting. Your only other option is to purchase a low voltage light specifically designed for mounting on a flat surface, like the Paradise GL22458BK Deck Light. Good luck. http://www.lowes.com/pd_329371-53027-EH524BK_0__?Ntt=portfolio+landscape+lighting+tree+and+wall+bracket&UserSearch=portfolio+landscape+lighting+tree+and+wall+bracket&productId=3275981&rpp=32

I use it indoors as a fixture for fluorescent lights for my reptiles. I agree with Carolyn L that it would be ok outside away from water.

I would not recommend it outside. However, I am disappointed in the light itself. It's not a "wow" light. It's small and not made as nicely as I would have expected. It's just an okay light! I hope that helps!

I bought it to use indoors. I'm not sure even if it is properly protected if it is intended for outdoors. I have transformers for some outdoor low voltage landscape/deck lighting that are definitely made for the outside. Not sure if I was much help, but good luck with your project!
