How water proof is the Colman led performance

I would not call it waterproof. Mine has been camping in the rain and it survived quite well, but I would be wary of using it in really wet conditions.

I do not know. It is advertised as waterproof for camping etc. I purchased mine strictly for a strong indoor light (which it has) in case of power outage.

The answer is between probably not and definitely not. The cabling and the battery are all inside the 'Weatherproof' case. The unit itself may be waterproof but the connections (wires to transducer and battery) would not be happy submerged in saltwater. If the whole thing took a dunk you would want to wash it all off with freshwater and check everything. Too much time if it happens every trip. I would opt for something more self contained.

The level switch is water proof but the control unit has holes for cooling and an opening for the alarm so if it was mounted in the weather it would fail.

If by that you mean "is it water proof", almost nothing electrical that isn't sealed is safe for outdoor use. On the other hand it is ruggedly built with an on-off switch to turn on-off electrical power. But I wouldn't leave it outside in the rain.

I think that the unit is water resistant which is NOT waterproof. The light is recharged via a USB slot and therefore prone to some possible water seepage. There is a rubber insert that slots into the USB port but that can be dislodged if not inserted carefully and therefore could expose the unit to possible water leakage.

Yes, as long as the diodes are not directly open the rain of water from above. Water from below (such as rain on wood or other support that the LED lights are mounted on) does not com into contact with the base connectors at the bottom of the LED "Bulb".

mine have been in service for years with no problems. i have this in a walkway brick light, some of which fill with water and sand covering the led, and i just clean them off. couldnt be happier!

I believe it is described by the mfgr. as 'water resistant but I'm not 100% sure on that. Personally, I would have no reservations about using it in the rain, considering the solid construction of the light itself. It is a really nice light that throws a LOT of light. I believe it's worth the money.

Assuming you put the rubber seal back in place properly, this light is extremely water resistant. I've ridden in heavy, steady rain and had no problems. Great light.

The duel LED model lights has an locking bezel that adds tension to the O-Ring gasket. This provides additional water resistance. While this design is NOT submersible, it is adequate for typical weather events for the life of the gasket. This design will NOT offer protection from internal condensation problems. A small moisture absorber (as included with pills) inside could solve this problem. I have tested my lights mounted under the building roof over hangs in Texas weather with 60 degree temperature swings per/day including 40 MPH gusts, and heavy wind driven rain without any problems. I have not experienced any failure to function with the product yet. The duel LED model lights has an locking bezel that adds tension to the O-Ring gasket. This provides additional water resistance.

Mine has been in a dooway outdoors where no water can reach it. Had it for 2 months and no problems so far. Very useful when visitors come to the front door. However, this light is not waterproof or even water resistant. If exposed to rain I am sure it will fail or get rusty.

I have these lights on my boat trailer and a couple of times last year I forgot to disconnect the lights before backing into the water and the lights still work. They have probably been submerged over 50+ times in my use and no problems. The lights are sealed where the wires enter so these will definitely hold up on a rainy day.

Yes, it is water proof. And submersible, too. I recently used it in a search and rescue mission on a boat in the Kuskokwim River during a windy and rainy night here in rural Alaska this weekend. Worked without fail. Very bright light, saw our target (broken down motor boat with 2 people aboard) from a long way off. I'm sure my light was heavenly to them.

The sCharger-5 is very water resistant. We coat the circuit boards with a silicon solution that makes the circuit board very impervious to moisture. However, one disclosure, the metal strips in the USB port are not coated for obvious reasons as they would not connect if they were. But the strips areare also gold plated so this helps a great deal. Weather exposure will be fine. Our panels have been tested to 40 feet under water for 6 days and continued to perform. And they have also been corrosion tested as well. If the panels goes under water, just shake the water out of the box and allow to dry in the sun USB port up. Call us if you have more questions. You can find the number on our Suntactics website.

It's water resistant, I wouldn't take it underwater though. Rain should be no problem for these lights...

Evans,All the connections on the wiring are considered "water resistant" not "water proof" wiring connections will resist rain but for best results you should use silicone dielectric on the actual connection metal contacts. This will prevent any corrosion in case water does enter the connector.It is a good product, good luck

Probably not guaranteed waterproof, no gaskets that I saw, but the lights come packaged in sections and you can screw them together in about 5 minutes, no tools required, everything fit together tightly. The top is large enough that the water runs off ok. Mine have been outside for a year and no problems yet. They look way better than the cheap ones at WM.
