I haven't, but the thing is BRIGHT! Its in my daughter's room. She wanted some fun lighting so we bought a cheapy movable arm desk light so she can aim it (thinking it wasn't that bright) and it lights up the room, hallway and outside her window. If you're looking to use one light to light up an entire back yard, it won't work, but as a few colored accent lights for parties to color up the place...it should do you nicely. Don't aim the light so people look at it straight on, it is truly very bright.

I haven't used it outside, but as long as it's properly protected from the elements a couple of them should work nicely to light the pool.

Well, there not super bright but they are kinda cool the difference colors with a push of a button or make em fade or strobe! I would think it would be quite cool the ambiance it would provide.

Yes, I would definitely think so. The light given off these bulbs is a pretty soft amber glow and should light your outdoor space great!

I am not sure I used mine for the light fixtures in my ceiling sorry I wasn't much of a help you could probably google it to see if others have used it for that

If you need a light strip for outdoor, there is the same light strip with a silicone sleeve over it. If you use the light for indoor use the strip without the sleeve would be fine.

i have been using several of the Philips led bulbs above and have had good luck with them. They are rated 'wet location' but some led flood outdoor lamps are rated 'damp location' which is not as high a rating for outdoor use with the possibility of direct rain.

it could be used outside the tank as the LED lighting is low wattage and thus does not need cooling. It would be rather impractical to use this for just lighting as there are much better options for lights that do not have the mass of the air stone. It does look really cool in the water as it lights the air bubbles with a nice blue glow.

I used them for an outside fixture and had no issues. But its only been a year. So far so good

yes, the fixture is designed for outdoor installation. I installed mine in December and its works great. I would have liked to have a motion sensor on it along with the photo cell.

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, I used mine as outdoor Christmas lights. Part of a strand did not work, but the rest worked well in cold/snowy weather for the few weeks while they were up.

It will work outdoors. I am using at least 4 as accent light outside with the light fixture belowParadise GL22724BK Low-Voltage Cast-Aluminum 20-Watt Halogen Floodlight with Glass Lens, BlackHope it helps.

As far as I know it's not rated for outside use. There is a small cooling fan inside the light that may break if it gets wet. Great light for inside use if you don't mind hearing the built in cooling fan ( not that loud)

Hello, This little light projects very well! The LEDs are extremely bright - at night the kids like to turn it over and watch it light up the trees - so distance not a problem. That said, two points: This is a light show with alternating projections, so it's not meant as a 'pool light', which is fine. Second, the light floats on top and travels the same as anything else on the pool, so it will be at one end or the other projecting from it's location - it does have a flip out loop to hang it above an area, but it looks better in the water. About to include one of these for friends moving into a new house - their kids will be thrilled. If you want more light - you have a good size pool - get a couple and maybe hang one. Enjoy!

Idk because it's magnetic the outside part has to make contact with the inside pool light fixture- break the connection and the light goes out- but IF u can get it to work it is worth the $ the light makes the pool beautiful at night!! And no drilling for installation just stick it to the wall and ur ready to GO.

It's hard to say since I don't know how large the area is. These lights illuminate in a rather narrow band like a spotlight. The performance of them has been very satisfactory but we have been using them for garden illumination at ground level. They have survived a rather cold winter here. Even if they don't work for your pool you'll most likely find a good use for them.

I don' know if they are intended for outdoor use. However, I live near a beach and almost everything reacts to the humid and ocean spray conditions. After about 2 years these fixtures have held up very well.

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.
