I was reading a description that made these seem like these shouldn't be outside getting wet. I was planning on leaving these outside so they would constantly be exposed to the elements vs just putting out for an occasion. Does anyone do this or have...

Carolyn, I had these lights outside on my railing and I did not have any problems with them. I liked them so much I am going to purchase some more.

We used them in the summer heat , so temp itself I cant help but getting moisture in them can muffle the speaker, a few broke the speaker. I can see snow causing the same issue. any wt that isnt labeled as weatherproof/ rugged would be in the same boat.

I would say no. I am going to use these outside outside though and just seal them up with silicone. I am sure the sun is going to eat up the rubber coating quickly. I have tested some outside and put in ziplocks and it worked even when raining. They work but I am not sure how long they will last.

These are NOT a sealed unit.....The rain would more than likely either be amplified to the point it would bother you or to a point it shut the sound off.I wouldn't use them in the rain

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!!

I wash them weekly in the washer with my clothes, so they should be fine in that regard. They aren't waterproof, per se, more like..resistant. In my line I get a lot of fuel on my hands and this keeps most of it off, but there is definitely a dampness.

They are supposed to be kept cool. It is my understanding that if they get too hot they will die and you've spent the money for nothing. I try to use them as soon as I get them-if I can. I've used these in my yard for several years and also other nematodes to kill Japanese beatles. I think they work pretty well. It is best to spray them around after it rains. Hope this helps.

I occasionally dry them in the dryer if the weather is bad or I need one dried sooner. They are fine dried that way. I think they will probably last longer if air dried though so whenever possible I hang them outside to dry.

If they are outdoor, they should be waterproof, Right? But they don't see to be. All three that I ordered have quit working in the first week probably due to high humidity and some rain.

they are not weather proof. You could use them on a dry evening if you don't leave them out overnight.

they should stay dry unless you have them in an unusually damp area, like a bathroom. Otherwise they should be good where they are.

I only purchased these two months ago but they have been outside ever since. We did recently start to keep them under a tarp. I just want to keep them as long as possible. As with any wood product, they will weather over time. Keeping them covered just protects them a bit and helps keep their color. Also keep in mind I live in south central Texas where it is hot and humid with lots of sun and little rain. Bottom line, we have really enjoyed them for the past two months but it is too early to speak to the longevity of them outside.

I wouldn't use them out in the weather. We put them under a bar top and around the inside of a liquor/glass rack, but both locations are sheltered from any real weather.

I really dont kno because I didnt actually put mine in water, I wiped it down real good. Only because, I didnt buy them to use I bought them for decoration and not to be touched...im sorry I couldnt help.

These lights are NOT waterproof. If you're going to use them outside, they can't be anywhere that they might actually get really wet. Particularly not somewhere that water might run down in from the 'back' side.

They seem to be waterproof etc. I've had them outside all summer and fall. They aren't as bright now that the days are shorter.

I'm not if they are titled "waterproof" but I know I added them to the outside bathtub and the shower walls and they are still there.when I placed them I made sure there were no air bubbles. Water does touch them, specially when it comes to bath time, with a 5 yr old and a 1 1/2 yr old they are bound to be splached on and get wet...my bathroom sucks out the humidity of the shower so I'm not sure that plays a facter?
