The DOT - It H20 is the waterproof version, but it seems to be out of stock, or no longer offered

NO! Do not use in shower or around water. There are 3 AAA batteries inside the Dot light.

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 would not try to mount this light underwater. It will not last. Its can be wet but not submerged in water. I tell you from experience.

Doing further research on the light it does mention that it is waterproof and skid proof but examining my light itself here is what I can say. There are thin rubber seals like those found in waterproof watches in the tail cap and the bulb cap. I can't say how well it stands up in real conditions but I have run it under the faucet and no water leaked through the tail or bulb cap. The telescoping part is the only concern I have if using it under long periods of time in rain

I don't use the light outside, so I cant attest to its waterproof capabilities. All I can say is its worth the money and provides good lighting. I think you be find using it outside in a gazebo setting. I would use electrical tape or plastic tape to go over the seals to help deter the water from getting in. The solar panel itself is more then suitable to be outside, with stands Chicago weather.

Yes it can! It is waterproof, to a certain extent. You can't submerge it in water but using it in the shower is fine! I love mine and have recommended it to friends!

Of course it can. It can probably work under water, but it's not too smart. Best damn light I ever had.

I can't see why not. It's a pretty cool light, if it works, but in reading the reviews, it's unpredictable. Mine filled with water after a day or so.

No. It is not waterproof. Water resistant yes, but I put my battery pack in a zip lock to make sure it doesn't get wet. This little shower has more pressure than I was anticipating and it's a great addition to any camping.

It is not waterproof. There are no gaskets to seal the battery compartment and the telescoping lamp it metal to metal with no gasket. It is 5w and 300lm. For the $3.60, it is a very bright light for the money, but I wouldn't wear it in a downpour.

I think that the unit is water resistant which is NOT waterproof. The light is recharged via a USB slot and therefore prone to some possible water seepage. There is a rubber insert that slots into the USB port but that can be dislodged if not inserted carefully and therefore could expose the unit to possible water leakage.

Yes. Have installed in two of our showers. The part of the unithousing the actual bulb is sealed against moisture (water, steam, etc.)

Hi, Look it's not sealed, if any water will reach the space between the base and the shade it can cause a short circuit. If do put in the shower, mount it far away from any water source. Anyway it's not safe.

Pretty much waterproof in a shower, mine is outside by the water all the time and has a little deterioration but I think it is from the sun. For the price it is great

i'm guessing not because it comes with a plug.. but it does say 'suitable for wet locations'...??? the light bulb doesn't appear to be fully sealed by it's cover.. i keep mine on a porch.. sorry.. not sure...

AmandaI'm sorry, but no I don't believe that would be wise as the housing for the light is not water tight.

Phillips claims that it is 100% waterproof. However, I've never attempted to use it in a shower.
