In reference to your answer to the question about outdoor use, no, not all floods are outdoor safe. Some are weather sealed. Is this one?

Nowhere on the packaging does it say it's safe for outdoor use. Based on that, I would not recommend it be used anywhere it could potentially get wet. I live in Arizona and mine are installed outside facing down under a covered patio. The chance of mine getting wet is minimal, but it is still possible. It was a risk I was willing to take. To supply further information: I installed these on the back patio to be used with a dimmer. The dimmer I am using is a GE Z-Wave dimmer. The lights do not want to come on using the dimmer switch. I have to turn the dimmer switch on (at which point they don't come on), then turn on the slave switch in the 3 way switch setup, then hurry and turn the dimming down on the switch or the bulbs will turn back off. I am going to try some Phillips bulbs to see if the same problem exists with the. Using standard switches, this does not occur and the bulbs are excellent.

To be honest, in the description it does say weather resistant.......I would imagine that might include moisture to a lesser extent, but I wouldn't let it get to wet from splashing. I'm not an authority on this subject but it's usually prudent to keep it as dry as possible. I wish I could be more helpful.

I don't know for sure but in my opinion it is not water tight; I wouldn't expose it to rain.

Not to my knowledge. I am sure it is not sealed to be used outdoors, unless it were in a very protected location. Also, it's wood, and that would probably, unless rigidly maintained, not do too well outside either.

No, I wouldn't use it outdoors. It does not have the proper seals in place for wet conditions.

It can get wet and it says you can use outdoors. Just be careful where you put it. I have went through 3 of these. The seams of plastic came apart easy and it lost air. Personally I wouldn't take these camping.

Maybe, but check the label, it will indicate whether the bulb is designed for outdoor use. I believe this is NOT their outdoor flood model.

I would say No to all of those. It does nit seem built for outdoor use at all and would not recommend if it is going to get wet. Great for indoor use though

These are not warerproof, so no.They do make ones that are waterproof for outside use.

No it's not supposed to be for wet areas. The company told me it shouldn't even be outside, it will void warranty. I bring mine in if not in use but sometimes I forget:). I'm sure a few sprinkles have hit it and it seems ok.

I wouldn't say it's waterproof/tight. The stuff I store in mine stays dry but the pieces just slide together, plastic to plastic. As another person posted, high winds with rain could cause leaks easily.

It may state that it is waterproof, but I would not trust it to be so. I would not recommend keeping this safe outdoors.

I would say it is watertight not waterproof. If you were to leave it out in the rain eventually it would weather enough and start leaking. I have mine located under a patio roof.

The product should probably not be used in wet environments. Don't leave it out in puddles or in the rain.

Hi Howie,I was caught in a small rain and the roof does seem waterproof...you need to dry it off before packing it up...which was impossible for me...so I opened it up when I got home, dried it and wiped it...otherwise it WILL mold. My side zippers are not rugged at all...I have zipped them right off twice now! There's no catch at the end to stop them from doing that - it's frustrating to me...but maybe I'm doing something wrong? Hope this helps.

The ad plainly says "In the event of a flood, unit will float and continue to sound alarm until battery is depleted !" I would think it might NOT be waterproof on top because that's where the speaker is. It is obviously waterproof enough on the bottom or it would not float. BTW: Watch the video. The beeps are morse code for "SOS". Cute ! :)

Hi K., Mine has a lot of play too when the door is closed & locked. I think it is part of the design, and cannot be remediated. I believe that it is fine against a fire or theft. However, I think that there a risk a the docs getting wet in case of a flood. Have not tried this hypothesis though. I kept mine. (Did not return it.) Cheers Cam
