Know before you buy
Yes, this bulb is rated for damp locations, making it suitable for protected outdoor fixtures like landscape lighting or porch lights. However, it is not designed for direct exposure to rain or water submersion.
This bulb operates on 12V AC power. You will need a compatible low-voltage transformer to step down your standard household voltage to the 12V required for this bulb.
The 4000K color temperature produces a cool white light that is crisp and clean, making it ideal for task lighting or areas where you need high visibility. Combined with a 90 CRI, it provides excellent color accuracy for objects illuminated within its beam.
A 50-degree beam angle is classified as a flood light. It provides a wider spread of illumination compared to a narrow spotlight, making it perfect for washing walls or lighting up larger garden areas.
This specific model is not rated for dimming. It is designed to operate at full brightness when powered by a 12V AC source.
