Unfortunately I installed this unit on a utility room door from the garage into the house. Sorry.

we have had one in direct rain / sun contact for two years with EXTREMELY heavy use - typically 15-30 entries a day and the only trouble is that the numbers on buttons are fading

We've had ours for about 7 months. It doesn't get rained on or direct light, but we have recently endured temps with a wind chill of -47 degrees and it has never failed. We love it!!

No, NOT rain proof, Maybe a very light rain. sprinkle that is. This is a light duty shade product. I do love it though. The setup really does need two people. The clamps are amazing. VERy strong and well build. Pretty heavy too, most of the weight is the clamps.

Linda my name is Ron I live in WV and we have had a lot of rain I mean a lot of rain when the sun don't sun the light is not as bright as if it did shine. Myself I have had no trouble with the light I really think it's one of the best lights on market today. I've had my solar flag light for over a year and works as good now as if were new. Wait until the rainly days are over and and the sunshine a day, I think you'll see the light works very well.

I've only experienced light rain over it while using an umbrella, but it held up pretty good. It was wet in the outside and dry inside.

It is a little tricky to light. Follow the instructions carefully. I haven't had any trouble. I always leave mine covers so I can't comment on how the rain may affect it.

This looks exactly like ours. We have not had a bit of trouble with the one we have. It is mounted on the north side of the house, so does not typically get a lot of wind or rain (since we are in Texas). However, we do get occasional intense downpours, and it does not seem to have affected the unit.

It looks very well sealed to my eyes - there's an o-ring sealing the battery enclosure, for example. I don't think you'd want to fully immerse it, but I think it would handle rainy weather. It's a great little lantern - and it's small - nice light, warmer color temperature than most LEDs and well made.

Yes it is weather proof and yes it will hold up in rainy weather. I used it all summer in Colorado where it was exposed to all sorts of weather with no problems.

it will stand up to light wind, we add a couple of extra tie downs to it if it gets breezy and it works great. we use the four tent stakes that come with it and then add two cords, one on each side if it gets to wobbly with wind. it stays up great!

I have had mine out for about a year, in the high mountain sun of Colorado. It gets direct sunlight until mid afternoon, and the color seems to be holding up well. Hope this helps.

I've used this in rain and it works okay but it should be designed to stay on its bracket a bit better. The bracket that comes with the light was mounted on my Panier Rack and the light doesn't seem to be on that solid. It snaps on but it did come off once after I hit a small hole on the street. The light works well enough in the rain and the snap on function to the supplied bracket is easy for mounting and dismounting of the light.

I've had it in the sun/rain for about 1 year now and I can see some minor weathering on it, but it is very minor and still holding up extremely well.

If left in shaded area it will be fine, I got it for my twin grandsons and my daughter leaves it up all summer and it is fine, and she lives in Louisiana. Hope this answers your question

I've bought this light and have them (2) under a porch roof. It does not get direct rain which I felt comfortable with that. It works great. I really like these lights. I've had them for over a year and very happy with them. Worth the money as they aren't that expensive compared to what you could pay for other lights.

It holds up pretty good but if its to windy you can put stakes at the corners of the stand. They come with the umbrella.

I've had one for about 8 months and it has survived several thunderstorms without any issues. Only complaint is the dark colors have started to fade.

We've had the light since September and haven't had any problems with wind or rain. We've been very pleased with it, especially considering how inexpensive it is compared to other lights. Using a clear bulb makes the illumination brighter.
