I suppose you can but I would not recommend as the lumination is too low for a flood light.

I have mine working 4 outdoor flood lights which are florescent...much less than 500 watts total. Works very well.

As long as it is dc lighting. Don't exceed 300watts per circuit. I retro fitted 50watt halogen flood lights with 4watt led bulbs and all is good

You can certainly use these connectors for outdoor fixtures if the socket and wires are protected from the elements within an approved fixture. Neither the socket nor the wires are weather protected. They cannot be exposed to water, and I suspect if they were exposed to sunlight the UV would deteriorate them relatively quickly.

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've got them in outdoor flood fixtures (the kind that have metal shades) and they work very well. They've been rained on a number of times while both turned on and off.

Sure why not ... I have a 50 watt LED that is a outdoor flood light not designed to go on a tripod on mine , so a lite weight umbrella and a flash would go on very easily ...

Yes, that's what I was using it for - as uplighting on some trees in the backyard. But unfortunately I had to return it because rain water accumulated inside the bulb and it shorted out. Whether that was due to the socket fixture not fitting well, the rubber seal not being tight enough or some other reason - I don't really know.

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.

i'm sure it could be plugged into an outdoor socket as long as it would not get wet. The light is designed for indoor use only and it's not weather proof

Treat it like every other floodlight available on the market. If the fixture it's being placed in is water proof, then certainly it can be used. If the fixture is not waterproof, then it cannot be used. However, there is the problem of ventilation. It requires free flow of air to cool. Otherwise it's lifetime is reduced.

I don't think so. I have several of these that I use for indoor small flood lights.

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.

The diameter of course has to be small enough to fit inside the outer casing that you see in the picture. I seem to recall that you could use only halogen or regular incandescent, not fluorescent or LED. I could remember this wrongly, but I would get confirmation from others before assuming that you could use a fluorescent or LED floodlight.

Should be no problem being waterproof but expect only a soft glow from this model. If you need a brighter source of light I would suggest a different, waterproof model.

By the way these are the flood lamps I ordered and I am happy so far.Aero-Tech ULA-33 20,000 Hour 150-Watt Outdoor Flood LightIf you are afraid they will be too bright, they also make a 75W version but I would think for most outdoor applications, that would not be bright enough....
