The description says this light can be only used in dry locations but other websites say damp location? Can it be used in the bathoom?

We've been using them in our bathroom since October with no problems. I think they just mean that they're indoor and can't be used on the outside of your house

We used two of them for scones in a nice bathroom remodel. I would say damp means, outdoors or sauna. These are in a normal bathroom with adequate ventilation.

Indoor "dry usage" is okay. Indoor "wet usage" would not be ideal since the mixture of rubber and water does give off a smell. We use it in the garage, around a slow-leak water softner.

I'm pretty sure the instructions said it can only be indoors; these Philips lights aren't meant to be used in humid areas either. I can't use them in the bathroom.

I have this fixture. I have used it inside. I don't have the packaging so cant advise whether it may be used externally in wet conditions but I do not think it can. Please note also that it does not swivel.

The manufacturer specifies for indoor use only. However, I have had 12 of them outdoors for over a year now. They are under an eve so they are out of direct rain, but they are out in the ocean mist and cold air. They appear to be very well sealed. There are two reasons I can think of why it is labeled for indoor use only. 1) The big metal heatsink on the back could give you a big electric shock if the bulb is wet to the base and you try to handle it. 2) it is not as well sealed as I think it is. But if you're careful and willing to take the risk, they light up the yard around my house extremely well.

should work well in damp areas, but not outside when not cleanable (bugs like the light fixture), the bulb is a little bigger than standard bulb so may not fit well in fan lighting. seems to be about as bright as cft bulb (23 watt) but does take a second to turn on.

Depends I guess. I can use it in the room with all the lights on, but it is a last resort. There are a few others that have quite a bit more lumens, I would go that route if your room is pretty bright.

The lamp is not protected against moisture, so my guess is that it probably would be risky. My application was in a lawn tractor which is stored in a garage and so has no serious moisture exposure. If the outside fixture is well sealed against moisture, it may survive. If you want to gamble less use one of the LEDs which are completely enclosed in the glass or plastic "bulb".

Yes. Definitely. The only place I would not dare to use it is on the area where its gonna dump moist or wet ... but yes I even used it in my closet. .. this is an incredible product. .. very quiet. . Hope it helps

The box doesn't say it's damp rated anywhere, so I would say no. A chandelier with uplights is especially vulnerable to moisture since water can drip down into the sockets. Most damp rated/wet rated fixtures for outdoor use will have down lights with a weather resistant top or if their uplights, they'll be enclosed in something weather resistant. Even if this was set back on a porch, where rain won't reach it, I'd worry about the metal corroding with time.

I've had no problem with my light. Ceiling is tiled ad I use a shower curtain. Great having a light - no splash or steam - use led light meant for wet areas.

If it absolutely is in a dry place...it works great indoors but have never tried it outside...but as long as it does not get wet and is secure, I would think it would be okay...

Not a good idea. You should have a fixture specially designed for the wet shower area. Look up shower light.

I don't think it will provide enough light for shaving. Yes, it will stick to tile, but I don't know if it will handle the moisture. Bottom line...I wouldn't purchase it for use in a shower and/or for shaving. Sorry about that.

The light is battery powered, so can be used ANYWHERE. I'm using mine in the freezer of my fridge, which did not have a built-in light, and it has worked perfectly for this use!

It is suitable for damp locations. I think do. But always rely on a professional's advance! :) it is "air tight".

not sure I use mine dry basically I wired a light bulb configured to controller. you could coat it with a rubber coating but not sure how accurately it would read
