My outdoor security/motion light is unprotected from the rain, how well will this hold up given that its only "weather-resistant"?

We've had our Phillips LED light hanging out in Colorado weather for over a year. The light performs flawlessly in rain, ice and snow. Our son has had the same model in an exterior security light for a few years with no problems. I think the LED bulbs will perform for several more years.

This lamp does not have an all weather enclosure, but if you place it in a protected area, it should be fine outdoors.You will need the proper socket for it to work.

I use them in outdoor motion lights and they work fine. The lights are mounted up under the eaves a bit so they don't get direct rain.

I looks like it would resist a light rain. The switch on the side would probably be the first infiltration point. I've used mine in some questionable weather and either I covered it with gaffer tape or stuck it in a sandwich bag.

This is an email reply I received from LEDwholesalers : While this item may be used outdoors, direct exposure to rain is usuallynot recommended. For example, installing this bulb in a fixture underthe eave would be better. Make sure that the bulb is oriented downwards(does NOT have to be vertical down) to prevent water from collecting atthe light socket.

The light works fine (for about 6 months now), and is installed on the underside of the soffit on the rear corner of my house, and get rained on often, with no issues so far

I am not sure if Streamlight rates it as water resistant, but it's sealed with O rings and I have used mine in the rain a few times and it still works fine.

I use CFL floodlights with similar package cautions in an open motion sensor fixture mounted under an eave, it has been there for 3 years including during a tropical storm and still works fine. Just make sure the face of the bulb is lower than the part that screws into the socket so that any water drips off the face of the bulb instead of running down the side of the bulb into the electronics (at the socket end of the bulb).

It looks very well sealed to my eyes - there's an o-ring sealing the battery enclosure, for example. I don't think you'd want to fully immerse it, but I think it would handle rainy weather. It's a great little lantern - and it's small - nice light, warmer color temperature than most LEDs and well made.

Yes, it is suitable for outdoor conditions as long as it's not soaked or put in direct contact with water. I just purchased this keypad recently, so I don't know what the sun will do to it. As long as it's away from the path of the moving door.

it says its water resistant, i believe that the connection between the battery and the light is very secure and is water tight, i wouldn't recommend dunking this in water but for rain i think you are A okay. as far as the lumens i believe it is closer to 1200. the directions you get with the box are very vague but if you look on youtube there are many more features with it

I don't know how it would do in the rain. It's battery operated. But it's certainly good for emergency lighting. However, the sensor mechanism did stop working for me after 2 months. I can still turn the light on manually but the sensor may not have a long life.

I have mine outside, they are not a water tight fixture but they are well protected from the elements. I have not had any problems, they have been up for about 3 months. So far so good!!

Maybe water resistant but not water proof. I wrap mine in saran wrap when anticipating rain. Also have used a sandwich bag and tape the bag around the lamp area so it is not obscured.

I don't believe it is weather resistant. Depends on how protected your porch is from wind and rain.

It's pretty sturdy.... but I don't know about rain.. generally any electronic will fry when wet.. the timer is pretty well covered and sealed... I would say it would probably be ok for outside as long as you put it somewhere it won't get too wet.

I don't know if it is water proof enough, but I do know it's not sticky enough. You would have to actually glue it down, and depending on the glue if the battery died you might then be stuck with it there. I just hold up my house key to my mailbox and use the light that way. Hope that helps!
