If you’re curious about whether your GE Link bulb is outdoor-usable, read on to learn more. This particular bulb emits 650 to 900 lumens of soft white light. The A19 is no longer sold directly by GE Lighting, but you can still find it floating around online. (You can even buy it through GE’s partnership with Wink.) Back in 2018, our managing editor tested the GE Link A19 as an outdoor bulb. During the month-long test, he found that it worked just fine outdoors. Despite that, our official recommendation is to follow the manufacturer’s ratings. So if you choose to use a GE Link A19 or BR30 outside of your home, use at your own risk. LED bulbs aren’t your only lighting choice. You can also get fluorescent or incandescent bulbs. But if you want to link your lights to your smart home, it’s much easier to find LED smartbulbs.
