How is the UV resistance? We they last for a few years in full sun?

My use is in the basement for a special purpose; however, I can say that they are a good quality, unlike some cheap bungee cords I bought in the past. My guess is that you should have no problem with these lasting in the sun for a few years.

yes, even here in Hawaii it has held up very well, and It still looks good, and has no leaks.

I had them out in the weather in the sun, using them with a camo tarp and they are still like new. Great product

I live in Florida and the last canopy I put up lasted about 4 years in full sunshine.

Mine are exposed and doing fine but only up for 1 year now. They face North so less sun exposure but more wind and weather exposure.

Doubt it but my last one lasted at least 5 years and it is in southern California full sun for half the day- I replaced it then tho it was still usable but faded and looked poorly. I am very pleased with the replacement.

Hi Jerry,The sun shade's components are UV-resistant and will withstand the sun's effects for many years.Hope this helps.Regards,AngelaCS Email Representative

The packaging doesn't say specifically. It does say "Promotes photosynthesis", which implies they are suitable for sun exposure. I have used mine for two years with no sign of adverse UV effect. I mainly use them as early/late season extenders, and all winter for growing lettuce, bok choi and (less successfully) kale. I am totally pleased with the performance!

They last as long as any other alkaline bateries I've used. 210 lumens are hard on bateries, I go through about 6 a year.

Yes. I've had mine outside, with some sun exposure, and it holds up just fine.

I've had mine for over a year and it still works good even in the Arizona sun. If you're looking for minimal protection like to just keep things out of the elements this will work good. If you want some sort of anti theft protection look elsewhere. Hope this helps.

Hi, I've been using these lights (I have 16) for almost 3 years with way better than expected results. I have 4 or 5 in an area without direct sun and they take a great charge. In the summer those few lights will stay lite until 3 - 4 AM. The ones sold today are a little more powerful. The fit & finish, even after more then 2 years is excellent! I live in Southern California in a very hot environment. The real determining factor in how the lights will stay lite is seasonal. My lights won't make it through the night in Winter. In Summer I have a few that only turn off because the sun is coming up! I have not had a single dud! 5 STARS + Hi, I've been using these lights (I have 16) for almost 3 years with way better than expected results.

Yes...I have them strung through ivy plants and still going strong for over a year. They do require full sun to light.

I have had them for two years in shade and they have held up great. They are almost like rock, so I don't think Sun will affect them much.

Our UV tubes are rated for 5000-10,000 hours. They will not explode when used.

I think it wil last quite a long time, just take it out in the sun once a month. I have had mine for a year and they work perfectly.

I've had mine on for about 4 years and starting to deteriorate rapidly from the sun. Will need to replace this year...so would say 5 year practical lifespan.

I've had mine a year and it is quite faded from the sun. Other than that still good.

So far mine is great. Plastics all look good and it's in direct sunlight all day everyday. Not sure if they are actually UV protected though, might be a question or Spalding directly

I've had them in a sunroom over the last year and with two kids they have held up pretty well. I have zero scratches or marks.
