For context, I'm looking at what to use in my soon to be built outdoor kitchen.
I'm thinking of a pendant hanging down from the roof, so it'll be very much protected from the rain etc, but technically I guess it is still outdoors as the kitchen will be open plan to an extent, in that the structure won't have walls, but it will have the roof.

Is a bulb like this going to be ok in that scenario - https://www.philips-hue.com/en-gb/p/hue-white-and-...

I have plenty of these bulbs indoors, they don't exactly get hot so I'm not sure if the changes in temperature associated with being outside would be the issue? I assume for my use, direct contact with rain etc isn't the problem here.....

We've got the Hive bulb for outdoor use and never had an issue with them at all. They dont get wet and we run them at 10% overnight from sunrise to sunset.
