is this suitable for outdoor use?

"Outdoor" is a loose term. I would prevent any water from coming into contact with the unit. However I believe the product would hold up to dust and dirt. Heat may degrade the magnet over time. The cold may not have any affect on it.

It's just a guess, but if the fixture in which it is mounted protects it from direct contact with the elements, I would say it is plausible for use out doors.

It is very well built. I think you could use it outdoors in moderate conditions but it's not specifically built for that purpose. In a garage or in a covered electrical outlet i would think would be fine. Somewhere out exposed to rain or snow i would not recommend, but then again i would not recommend any plugged in electrical connections in such environments.

It is electric so I wouldn't leave it outside. Also the cord is about 3' long, but it should work fine with a extention cord if needed

I suppose you could use it outdoors, but I believe that is it meant for indoor use only. It would be your call as to whether you want to take your chances.

I'd imagine you could use this for outdoor, but I believe it's mostly for indoor use.

No, I would not unless you could put in inside a weatherproof case. It is not designed for outdoor use.

No, I can't see it being for outside use. The wooden parts aren't treated. We use it at the bottom of our stairs to the second floor so our grandchild can't climb up unattended.

It would probably be okay outside. I wouldnt want it on the lawn though - you should have it on a harder more stable surface. But otherwise - I would think outside would be fine. However for long term durability - I'd recommend this though only for inside ... maybe get a little tikes set for outside?

Sorry, but I would not purchase this for outdoor use unless it is protected by a covering of some sort. I left mine out in the open and it was damaged after it got wet from the rain.

It is fine to use outdoors. However, if you use an extension cord you will want to make certain it is appropriate for outdoor use.

Yes, but do remember that it is electric. You do not want it subjected to wet weather. The outside is a sturdy plastic so it should be fine outdoors.

It could be used outdoors IF it is under an eave or patio cover. It is definitely NOT designed to be used in an open, weather exposed, condition. The amount of light (lumens) emitted from this fixture is limited. It's enough to provide emergency lighting in the event of a power failure but would probably prove insufficient in an open exterior location.

Yes, this can be used outdoors. I add sand bags to each side for more support.

It is not designed for that, and is not moisture resistant, so I would not do so. Units designed for outdoor use are designated as such by UL.

That is up to you. It is not designed for outdoor use or would be covered under the manufacturer's return policy if used that way
