Hi - Manufacturer here. If it snows, then yes, eventually they will be covered. But as Gina stated, we have many customers who actually *want* it to snow after they are out, because the display you get under the snow is quite unique and beautiful. They glow under the snow. Obviously, if it gets deeper than 24 inches or so, they begin to be blanked out. But, what lawn decoration wouldn't in 2 ft of snow? Thanks, - Mark

Actually no. The lights shine through the snow. We had a storm which blanketed my yard with a couple of feet of snow and you could still see them glowing through. I did set them up high, about 6" from the ground since I live in area where it snows a lot. They almost look better when they are covered.

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.

I have only used them as chandelier bulbs..they have small fittings similar to Christmas lights. My answer to you is they are not described as OUTDOOR LIGHTS.

I have not yet installed my lights, which are still in the box. After reading the instructions I decided it was too complicated for me, so I'm going to wait till spring and get someone else to install them. However, if I read the instructions correctly, I got the impression that the transformer could be outside.

I use them as porch lights where it gets down well below zero in the winter. They always come on (they're on a timer), so I expect they will be fine in the icebox. These are brighter than I expected them to be, so I'm quite happy with them.

I don' t know. We live in Tennessee and have had coldest winter in 20 years getting down to -6 with windchill of -12 and had no problems with the light. We use it to light up our donkey corral at night. It has stayed bright even during our snow and ice storms.

I wouldn't use these for christmas lights at all. They are for a dry, indoor, permanent installation. They require a regulated 12v DC current in order for them to perform properly. Not only that, but these require soldering in order to function as you only have a few connectors. It would look cool, but it would be too much headache for it to work and look good. If they would be outside, they're dead as soon as it rains.

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...........

We are in Connecticut. So far so good. I usually put something over the cover to keep the snow out. The cold doesn't affect it. Sorry you're having problems.

Before mine died (due to frayed wiring), I left them outside once. It snowed, then rained. I didn't find them for a couple of days. But they still worked fine after recharging.

These lights are doing this for me as well. Also, when the traction control kicks in they dimly flicker. I have them all turned off as it's winter and don't want the extra battery drain from the extreme cold weather. Battery died once and promptly turned them all off. May take them out and replace the stock ones or find some that don't do this.

It's better if they get snowed on because they will illuminate the snow and it makes an amazing affect. Especially if you get the twinkle lights. They can be seen up to about 4-6" deep.

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.

I had to use my own hardware for my application. I mounted them on my snow plow to add extra light. They are awesome lights. I use them to fill the middle and kick the regular snow plow lights out to better show the side of the road.

They work extremely well in snow. In ice, you'll need to fit them with chains and maybe load them......

The lights will not recharge when covered by snow or dust. You will have to clean them off during the day so they can recharge. They work just fine with the snow on top until the battery is run down.

Hi Grahm, don't know if I have a full answer for you or not, mounted mine outdoor, not under any kind of cover, rain seems to be no problem, wind and sun either but I take them in for the winter because they are easy to reach. Don't know if that will help you or not.
