I know not to use these when its raining but are there any temperature restrictions? Is it better to go after them in the Spring?

My husband handles this so I asked him. it should not matter. We water the yard where the worms are. Our neighbor uses them too. They seem to work and we had not put any out in awhile but my husband noticed we may have one again so he put the last one out and ordered more.

I don't know. Also I don't know that rain makes any difference snce they are placed in tunnels.

I used them a week ago, November 14, 2013 near San Francisco. The temperature in the 60s during the day. They worked great.

Not very long, but I take mine down if I am home before it rains. The weather elements and sun, heat ect. seem to fade and weather some materials so I don't take a chance. I love these in my oak tree, they work great.

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.

Real windy conditions, not a good idea. Light wind and you'll be ok. Make sure the lanterns are completely filled with hot air so they have the best chance of going straight up rather than fly horizontal first. We set them off and a couple landed in trees. Nothing caught fire but there could have been a problem if we were in drier conditions. We are in Florida and have had a lot of rain.

They aren't weather proof. They are labeled weather resistant. My two are outside but under cover out if the rain.

It has rained since we have installed these but not a heavy rain. But so far, they are fine. They are very heavy duty. I think they will be water safe.

No just plant them. I got four in the spring two are doing real good, two have leaves but smal , two have nice and big leave. I put them in my house as soon as temp drop to 50s at night. They are in my utility room in front of a window now doing good. I thank they like humidity.

I tried these when the weather in my area was not hot and for me they worked ok, I did not reorder them, but if you are concerned about the product being harmed I would not order them because I got another product from the same company it was hot outside and I noticed that the product did not work as well.

We too lived in the UK for about three years and our only concern is the wind (caused by the cars movement) somehow started them to separate from the car there would be no stopping them. Since they are made of a fairly substantial vinyl material I am sure the rain or water would not hurt them. I think if you could find a place on the boot or bonnet where the wind was not real bad they would be fine.

I bought my rain barrels last summer,not these.. they seemed to be very flimsy..and they did freeze over winter and did fine..it is July now and they are holding up very well..I live in Oklahoma..I am amazed at how much water I save in my garden..we should all be using rain barrels

Mmmm... they resist rain well, not under water of course I live in Texas way down south so I dont even know what snow look like lol. Im sure they will resist enough but hey you can always buy the eexpenssive ones. It is a great deal for heat and rain in the street.

When I 1st got this set I took the cushions off if I knew it was going to rain but then I got lazy and this whole summer I just left the cushions on at all times. My cushions are in the same condition as when I purchased them so yes they can be left out in the rain. Of course you will have some wet cushions until they dry out :-)

Have only used them over the lake in the warmer months. That is April though October in Maine. So have no helpful info for colder climes. Sorry!

Hi Judi, excuse me if I answer this twice, I hit the send button by mistake. I have not used these in the rain but use them in glass housings outside. If exposure to rain is not a factor then I would not hesitate to use in sensor lamps. Do not use these with dimmer switches. When outside in freezing temps they require a minute to warm up to full brightness. You might check out G.E.'s website for their recommendation for outside exposer to the elements . ...Now that you mention it I am going to install one of these in my lamp outside that is exposed to the weather. We'll see how they work. Hope this helped....Kem Hi Judi, excuse me if I answer this twice, I hit the send button by mistake. I have not used these in the rain but use them in glass housings outside.

Thank you for asking!They are often used outside, however they are not designed to withstand rain or snow.Peg Schmidt, LED Lytes

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.
