Thank you for your question.
The metal construction is not the determining factor for outdoor use. This socket is not rated for damp or wet locations, so we would not recommend it for landscape lighting or other outdoor applications where it may be exposed to moisture.
For outdoor projects, please use a socket that is specifically listed as damp-rated or wet-rated for the installation environment. You can view all of our damp-rated sockets here:

Be sure to select a socket with the appropriate rating for your specific application and level of weather exposure.
