Yes, outdoor table lamps are designed to withstand rain, snow, and varying temperatures. Look for lamps with an IP rating (Ingress Protection) to ensure they are waterproof and durable.

It’s not recommended. Indoor lamps are not built to handle outdoor conditions. They lack the necessary weatherproofing and may pose safety risks. Outdoor-rated fixtures are designed for durability and safety.

LED bulbs are the best choice. They are energy-efficient, long-lasting, and weather-resistant. Avoid incandescent or halogen bulbs as they may not perform well in outdoor conditions.

To protect your lamp, check the IP rating (look for IP65 or higher). Use protective covers when not in use, and place lamps in sheltered areas to prevent direct exposure to extreme weather.

Yes, solar-powered lamps are eco-friendly and work well in sunny areas. However, their performance can vary depending on the amount of sunlight they receive and the climate. In areas with less sunlight, consider hybrid or rechargeable solar options.

For ambiance, aim for around 100-200 lumens. If you need task lighting, like for reading or dining, look for lamps with 300-500 lumens. Adjust based on your outdoor setting’s size and purpose.

Rust-proof metals like aluminum or stainless steel, UV-resistant plastics, and weatherproof finishes like powder coating are ideal. These materials resist corrosion, fading, and damage from the elements.
