Will these lights survive in winter weather and snow? Thanks

i live in Pittsburgh PA. the winters are long and cold. the lights held up well. heading into the second winter with no problems.

Yes we've had them for over a year and they work very well. We got lots of snow last year.

They will survive the winter weather ok, however, due to the short, cloudy days they will only light up 2-3 hours each night. When the sun is out many more hours per day during the summer, they will light up 6-9 hours each night.

Yes! We've had ours on our deck through the nasty winter last year and they were fine.

I installed my lights of this type in the spring so I can not answer for snow and cold for these lights. I live on the ICW and mine have been exposed to heat, rain and tropical storm without any problems so far. I have other solar lights on my pier and they usually last about 2 years and they are frequently pounded with salt water spray. I would be surprised if these don't last longer.

Our winters here in North Carolina are very mild, but this has been the most miserable rainy season ever and they are still working.

LED's work as well in cold weather as in warm weather. Fluorescents get weak kneed.

Don't know how the batteries will hold up in your winters. I have had my lights and have only changes the batteries once. It is in the weather year-round, from 100 plus degree Northeast Texas heat to temps in the low twenties last winter.

You can if you like, but it's not necessary. I left my lights outside all winter (in Detroit, MI): the coldest and snowiest on record for the past 120 years! They worked beautifully all winter long (except perhaps when they were covered with snow.) They still worked like brand new as soon as the snow melted and they could recharge in the sun again! If anything, the "glass" is a smidge cloudier than when they were brand new straight out of the box (and after a whole year of use), but they still look good and give off good light. Best solar fixtures I've ever purchased. I'm very happy with them.

I would say yes, provided the light bulb is protected from precipitation. I have mine underneath the eve of my house and they do fine. If it is out in the rain/snow, I don't know how it would hold up.

I have used these bulbs throughout long cold New England winters and had no probl with longevity. Looks really good in an outdoor fixture bright white light -go for it!

I purchased these lights for my mother who lives in Baltimore, MD. The temperature has gotten down into the teens over the last two winters that she used them. When I've visited her in January when it was around 30-40 degrees, they were working great. I didn't see any degradation in the light being emitted. I can't vouch for colder temps as you'd find in more northern states. Overall, she's been very happy with them.

We have our lights outside in PA, lots of snow and some cold weather. At this point the temp is 15 to 35 degrees during the day, 10 to 15 at night, and the lights work fine. We've had no trouble at all compared to regular floods that have consistently blown out, rain, cold, snow etc.. Lights give a nice warm color used to light the front of the house shining up. Better than the bright white color of other LEDs.

I don't know if they will work in the dead of winter. I still have mine turned on and so far it has been down to 19 F. They tell you not to leave the batteries in during real cold weather so when it get down a little more I will take the batteries out until early spring.

Yes I leave them out all winter. They will not stay on as long as the sun will not charge them to full capacity .

These lights are water and weather proof..my daughter has not had a problem with them during this winter weather we have experienced this year. I hope this helps you make the decision to buy these lights; my daughter loves them and haven't had any complaints!!

They come with a few different fittings for hookup. Best guess they should. The lights give a good glow and make for a nice feature apart from the rest. The only problem I 've run into was they don't want to light up in extreme cold.

Mine has held up well and even left them out in the snow...been a rough winter and not much fade to them at all.

I have 3 or 4 of the lights, some under the eve and at least 1 outside of eve and haven't had any problems. If you keep the right bulbs in them, they last pretty good.

I live in NY state, right on the Canadian border and leave my solar lighs out year round. While the lights do not work when snow covered, they resume lighting when the snow melts and they can recieve sunshine again.

It gets to be about negative 12 or so where I am and it snows and rains all the time. I have owned the NON-weatherproof ones now for over a year and they've held up amazingly well outside. I replace batteries maybe 2 times per year (and my lights are in the driveway so they come on and off all the time) and if you buy them at the dollar store, that's like nothing at all for cost.

my lights have been installed outside (in Florida) for approx. 10 months and they seem weather proof.............I am not sure what you mean by DO THEY OFF LIGHT FOR AT LAST (LEAST?) 10-15 FT.................there is just enough dim glow to let you know that something is there...........
