Can this reducer be used outside? I have a mogul-socket halogen flood light I would like to put an LED flood light in.

I don't know about outside use. It did not come in a box with warnings or instructions. I would hesitate to use it outdoors for that reason. It looks like an indoor product and I used it in a floor lamp. Sorry I can't be more help.

don't know..I used it in an indoor lamp. I do not know if it is waterproof.

This did not come with a rubber gasket to keep water or snow away from the contacts. If you needed to use it outside, I would make one to fit around the base and another for around the bulb, or at least make certain that nothing can drip or fall into it (mounted upside down).

When using this socket outside has to do only if you can keep in from getting wet or too moist !!! That would be the same as with any Socket. Just remember that You may be dealing with High voltages so be very careful not to get wet !!!

No but you may want to check and see if they make a reducer adapter that you can use.

Hi Mike- Thanks for the question. It is a good question and we get asked it a lot. If you planned to use the flood light in an area where there could be people lingering around, I can't tell you that there isn't risk of someone taking it. Check out the F108-2R that we sell. It's the same price but can be mounted. It actually looks more commercial as well. We have installed it for commercial signs. We used 4" x 4" posts and drove it into the ground and mounted the light to that. There is 9' of wire going to the solar panel. We sell a bracket that would work, or you could come up with something on your own that many people do. If you have more specific questions about your application, you're welcome to message me directly. Thanks!

Yes, I'm currently using it on an outdoor floodlight that's attached to my garage. Works great and I can control it from the house about 50 feet away. Just don't exceed the rated wattage.

I have used it exclusively outdoors. I installed about 5 of them. 1 of them went out almost immediately. The others have worked well for about a year now. My lights are under the eaves of the house, and therefore not exposed directly to rain.

This particular LED lights is not intended for outdoor use. There are some water proof LED outdoor lights available in the market.

Mine is in our garage, but it is open to the south. I think if you had some kind of 'lamp', the bulb would be fine outside.

I installed mine in a covered outside garage light in order to power Christmas decorations. The light housing has a metal top and glass plates on all four sides. The bulb is inserted through the open bottom of the light housing. Since the adaptor is inside the class cover where the light bulb goes it is protected from rain or snow there. It works fine so far.

I have never seen or heard of a (gu-10) outdor light fixture yet, this doesnt mean they don't exist or if it can't be made. If the fixture is listed for outdoor use and is UL approved go for it, I don't know why you would use these bulbs for outdoor use, because they're are bigger and better stuff out there. I have a big led spotlight instead of those 100 watt incandescent spot light, it does its job.

Yes, you can...but it depends on the type of bulb you choose to use. Standard flood bulbs work with a dimmer, but you have to watch if you use a compact fluorescent or LED. Make sure the style is compatible with a dimmer switch. I highly recommend the LED. The unit will not overheat and shut down.

yes it can be used..........but be careful as I was not happy at all with the light dispersion from the lamps I got........there were light and dark areas due to the segmented construction of the lamp once the lamp was covered by the fixture lens...........whereas with the halogen lamp this did not exist.

I screwed mine into a ceiling socket on my outdoor carport and have had no problem. Why do you think you need an extender? I would imagine as long as the sensor is out from whatever you put it in, it will work. Sensor needs to be able to detect light. Hope this helps.

Yiu can use it outside if its not raining. And you can run it for five momths straght if you want because its LED it does not get hot

Yes you can. I t obviously reduces the run time of the light but it work fine. JB

I use mine outside. Just have to ensure the outlet you plug it in to has a rain cover. I suggest sealing the connector that where power supply meets wiring for light with RTV gasket maker or a caulk to ensure that's water tight

Sincerely I will not suggest using this sensor lightning in outdoor because of constant movement. Your bulb might run out with constant on and off.

I can not answer the question with 100% certainty, but I believe it can be used for that purpose. I just checked and the tool comes with a bulb attachment which I have not used. I use mine for flood lights in our high-hat fixtures. After looking at the adapter, I think it depends on the size of the bulb and how it is designed, but if you had to hold me to a definitive answer, I would say it probably would not do the job. You may want to check with the manufacturer. FYI, for flood lights it works great.
