They sold the company to Trudeau corporation. They no longer made the kind with colors outside.

They are a black plastic with a wire screen. No reason they couldn't be painted. They do also come in white I do believe.

I would guess they would not hold up in outdoor conditions. I bet they would peel over time.

I watched them glowing last night as the rain from hurricane Arthur poured down. I have had them outside non-stop for several months with no problem. I had some similar lights from I bought from LL Bean and I left them out for 3+ years, winter and summer.

It's been a couple of years since I ordered these so I'm not really sure. To be honest, I painted them white to go on the steps of our deck, and then never installed them. I should get my husband to do that this week. Thanks for the reminder!!! :-)

Good question! I asked the same of the designer and strangely she replied,"they are only available in the set". Makes no sense to me. Could use a solid in one of the colors as a spare.

Hello,We have checked with the manufacturer and they do not recommend having this outdoors unless they are covered. They may rust if they get wet. If you have some sort of patio covering, where they are under the shade constantly, then it may be alright outdoors. We do apologize we were unable to give you a specific answer. If you need anything else, please let us know.Thank you.

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 think they would look great at an outdoor bar area, but I would make sure they do not get exposed to rain. I don't think they would hold up very well. They are meant for indoor use.

I have never used them for outdoor projects. Once dry it takes a lot to get rid of acrylic paint, so my guess is it will last you for a while, but just to be sure you could put a layer of clear outdoor paint on top of it.

They are not paintable or stainable. They are made of black plastic and paint or stain would not stick to them very effectively.

I did not decorate them. However, I saw them decorated for a soccer team. So, I know you can; I just don't know what they used.

Actually I'm not sure. We have ours on a covered, but not enclosed outdoor porch. They have fared well through a very wet, cold winter in VT...but they are not directly exposed to rain, snow, etc.

You can have them outside, it is built in such a way any panel can be used from inside or outside. You also may choose not to put stickers at all

We also have had these for almost a year & only had one bulb issue. They have been out in rain & we haven't had a problem with water filling the globes. Only issue we have had is wind knocking a bulb off & it shattered. We did have to use an extension cord to string them together across the patio, used the fence & porch awning to mount them, but we do have 4 strands hanging side by side & we receive compliments on them every time we have a party. Have been a great addition to outdoor entertaining for us.

Yes they can be used outside if they are covered before a rain storm.The only part that isn't painted is the leveling screw that ajusts the height of the seat.This item needs to be oiled from time to time.great item.Vince
