Can LED Downlights Be Installed Under a Covered Soffit?

Lighting Installation & Troubleshooting

Has anyone installed puck lights under a soffit?

I’m thinking about adding a few lights under my soffit for some extra outdoor lighting. I already have a few LED puck lights and was wondering if they can be used outdoors long-term.

Has anyone tried this before?

Thanks for your question.

If the soffit area is fully covered and protected from direct exposure to rain or water, these downlights may be suitable for the installation. However, this model is primarily designed for indoor applications and is not intended for direct outdoor exposure.

For the best performance and long-term reliability, we recommend installing the fixture in dry or protected locations and following all local electrical codes and installation requirements.
