Can this be used for an outdoor ligh fixture?

I used this for my outdoor Christmas lawn ornaments and it worked great, so it does work outdoors. I hope this helps

It is designed for use in dry areas, and non-enclosed, non-dimmable fixtures. So outdoor use is not recommended.

it would require making a study enough stake and possibly drilling a few hole in mounting braket. the fixture are weatherproof so it doesn't matter where you mount them.

I wouldn't suggest it, the fixture offers no weather protection. Maybe in the southwest where there isn't much precipitation.

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.

I only hung outdoor lights with mine, but they seem pretty sturdy. If the canvas isn't too thick and heavy, I think you will be ok.

I believe you could. I mounted my outside near my deck and ran an electrical cord to it. It works great.

I believe that it could be used outdoors, provided it did not get wet, and was in a open ceiling or wall socket, as its not really designed for an enclosed lamp, etc.

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.

Absolutely, the bulb can be used with adapters for other sockets as well. The light fixture itself would be your limitation on indoor/outdoor. LED have great shock resistance (wind blowing branches or shake light) door slamming near fixture.

I don't think so, because it would need to be protected from direct moisture I'm sure and one of the provisions for use states it cannot be used in enclosed fixtures.

Can this be used outdoors in a mostly enclosed (bottom is slightly open) post fixture?

Yes, it will work fine. I have mine in an outdoor fixture that turns off and on with a dusk to dawn switch (just like a timer) and it works great.

I honestly do not know if it would be okay to put this light outside, but I wouldn't do it. It is a lovely fixture and looks delicate.

Not easily. Any fixture is linkable with the correct wiring. This is not ideal for that purpose

I don't see why not. They appear to be sealed like any other light bulb on the market. So long as there is shielding from direct rain fall (as in a standard outdoor fixture) it should be fine. The only issue may be the light output. Generally outdoor lights for usable illumination are rated at 100 watts while this bulb is rated to replace 60 watt incandescent bulbs. It is still a bright light and perfect for indoor use or perhaps as a porch light, but as an area light for outdoors you may want something with more output.

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.
