Are these bulbs suitable as outdoor flood lights?

They are listed for indoor use. We have them outdoors in a covered patio, and have no problems with them (but they are protected from the weather).

If don't know if they are dimmable, I've only used them for outdoor landscaping floodlights.

I have only used them as chandelier bulbs..they have small fittings similar to Christmas lights. My answer to you is they are not described as OUTDOOR LIGHTS.

The top and bottom are open so the bulbs would be exposed. I don't think they should be used outdoors but technically they can

We purchased these to replace ceiling flood lights in our kitchen, have not used outdoors.

The bulb is suitable for damp locations. Do not use it if directly exposed to rain.

Yes, just be sure that the bulb is not exposed directly to the rain. Ideally, it needs to be behind a screen or in an enclosed fixture. If the bulb gets submerged in water, there is a chance it might not keep functioning. You can check this PAR30, it's more intended for outdoor applications, and this one is really of high quality: Triangle Bulbs (Pack Of 4) 12-Watt (75-Watt) PAR30 LED Flood Light Bulb, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,

They are not rated for outside. The vents would allow weather to get in to the socket. You could enclose them but the stock lamp burns very hot. I have replaced the lamp with an LED par 38 and they burn much cooler. Still not weather proof but could be containable.

They don't get hot so I imagine they'd do OK. Not sure how many candelabra base fixtures are available for you to put these in. Many outdoor lamps come pre-installed with LED bulbs these days. I just bought two of them at my local store and they look great.

I don't see why it would be more or less appropriate for outside use than an incandescent bulb...I imagine having it get overly wet is not a good idea.

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.

Yes, they can be used outside provided they are installed in a weatherproof, waterproof enclosure. I use them as accent landscape lighting to light the peaks of my home and they look great. Not to bright but not too dark.

The lights are 10watt exterior flood lights. I am not sure of the actual lumens but they are equal to 60-70 watt incandescent bulbs at 400 to 500 lumens

They do not appear to be rated for outdoor use. However, I am successfully using two other LED bulbs in outdoor locations that are not rated for outdoors either. Neither bulb is directly exposed to rain, and both face downward. One is underneath a large soffit area, and one is installed in a "barn light" type hooded fixture. Hope this helps!

Yes, that is correct. It is best to think of them as accent lights. If you are try to use them like the flood lights with the huge bulbs that is not the best use for them. The worst part is the very short cord. I really like them though I have three for the holidays and they worked great.

It is similar to an incandescent flood, but not as bright as the incandescent 150 watt flood. I use them for outdoor lighting around the house and they are just fine, and cheep too!

I would call this a flood light. The beam is definitely over 45°. With that said I highly do NOT recommend these bulbs. With in one month, 4 of the 6 bulbs burnt out.
