Is this water proof enough to use outside? I need to stick a small light above the lock on my mailbox, so it would be outside in all weather.

It's junk, don't buy it. It definitely would not be water proof. It also has no illumination to it at all. At the risk of being over sarcastic I'm pretty sure when I turned it on the room got darker. It also broke within 2 minutes of use.

I do not know how weather proof the flashlight is. I gave the flashlight as a gift for indoor use.

This is not waterproof enough for being directly exposed to rain or other wet precipitation.

I don't know if it is water proof enough, but I do know it's not sticky enough. You would have to actually glue it down, and depending on the glue if the battery died you might then be stuck with it there. I just hold up my house key to my mailbox and use the light that way. Hope that helps!

It could be used outdoors IF it is under an eave or patio cover. It is definitely NOT designed to be used in an open, weather exposed, condition. The amount of light (lumens) emitted from this fixture is limited. It's enough to provide emergency lighting in the event of a power failure but would probably prove insufficient in an open exterior location.

I don't have mine installed outside . . . I believe it is made out of steel which might eventually rust? It would probably be OK if you put it outside, so long as it was under some kind of covering (roof, etc.) to protect from rain. Also the box is intended to be installed with the slot on top . . so that is also a consideration . . . again probably ok if it is installed under a covering of some sort.

I have used it exclusively outdoors. I installed about 5 of them. 1 of them went out almost immediately. The others have worked well for about a year now. My lights are under the eaves of the house, and therefore not exposed directly to rain.

No it is NOT waterproof. Rain will definitely kill the light. Great for stage lighting indoors but do not use outdoors without it being under cover.

This is design for indoor use.... How ever I have install one outdoors under eve and it works fine. It's not water proof but I believe if u can keep away from direct rain it will work fine. I only had mine out there 6 mo no problem ip but it would be interesting to see how it holds up in winter.

I don't think it is really meant for outdoor use. Only if you can protect it from rain or snow. No part of it appears to be moisture proof. I have it in bathroom, but not where water would hit it.

I find that the light is water resistant. It held up fine in a drizzle during one of my rides. The battery compartment is well sealed by the fine threading used. It is an all metal body for the light. The push button switch used to operate the different modes is inside a rubber nipple. I would not be afraid to use this light in a rainstorm.

Theoretically, I think this would work OK in a water-proof outdoor box--but, it really is built for indoors. I'd personally go for a unit sold for the outdoors. It's my understanding this company sells such outdoor units.

I'm using it inside. It's absolutely bright enough, but I would be worried about it getting wet outside

With the flap closed, I think it would be fairly weather proof. I have it installed on a porch where it's protected, so I've never really tested it out in this way, but it's a very sturdy mailbox. If a larger package is placed inside, obviously, the lid can't be closed, and then rain could certainly get in.

it should be protected from rain and freezing temperatures.so it can be mounted outdoors but in a weather protected location (ie. a box). used mine under a tarp one summer.

Don't know. I'm sure the case inside the mailbox is not waterproof. However, I would guess it could handle some rain for a short period of time.

It is not waterproof, no "O" rings to seal working parts. Will resist moderate drizzle/rain, or at least mine has so far. Light is really bright for such a small unit. I suggest you invest in Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries. I know they are expensive, but they last a really long time in this unit. I got rid of the head band and used nylon cable ties to secure it to my safety vest.

I can't answer that.I bought mine for indoor use in the garage.It is not too sturdy so any movement causes the light to flash.So if outdoors the wind may keep it moving and the light flashing.It works great in the garage.I don't know if it is water proof.Hope this helps.

I've never gotten it wet enough to know... but the design seems that it would be fine. Keep in mind it's also designed to be used in off-road biking applications: think streams, mud, etc. I wouldn't hesitate using it in the rain. Don't know if you've ever had a light before, but I upgraded from their 100 Lumin. This one is incredible.

I doubt if it is waterproof. It could be used outside if you didn't need the light to work, however the base would have to be weighted.
