Overview

• When the office needs to replace the lighting, it is important to pay attention to whether the bulb is for indoor or outdoor use. Outdoor bulbs vary even more. Often, they are interchangeable for indoor and outdoor use. In contrast, indoor lights are not designed to withstand outdoor temperature changes. Find out which bulbs are suitable for indoor or outdoor use, or both. The best option is Ul indoor and outdoor light set.

  UL rating

  First, the best way to tell if a bulb can be used outdoors is to check the UL rating. Typically, most lighting fixtures are rated and tested by Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Additionally, UL has specific ratings for specific locations. Below are the different locations and corresponding UL ratings:

  UL Listed - Dry Location: Marked: "UL Listed"

  Includes living room, dining room, bedroom, hallway, kitchen, and most bathroom areas

  UL Listed - Wet Location: Marked "suitable for wet location" or "suitable for wet location"

  Includes bath, shower, indoor pool area, utility room

  UL Listed - Wet Locations: Marked "Suitable for Wet Locations"

  Use in wet indoor and outdoor locations

  Includes gazebos, walkways, open courtyards and decks, outdoor dining areas
