How long are the cables and is this weather proof ( I know, stupid question since it's solar, but I've bought outdoor lights that were supposedly weather proof and weren't.)?

The cables are about 6ft long. There is an option to connect/disconnect the last 18" or so. I actually leave my solar panel on the dash board of my truck locked in the cab and run the wire through the firewall to the battery. The packaging g claims it is waterproof. However, more important than it being waterproof, is the fragility of the panel itself. It is not durable or rugged. No sure well it will fair in inclement weather. Hope this helps. Good luck

The standard cable is about 8ft long, and you can buy a long extension if you need more. Yes, it is weatherproof. I have had three of thee (2-15W and 1-10W, outside for over a year with zero issues. Occassionaly clean off the glass and you are golden. Very reliable device. Just remember 10W is not much, but very good to keep a Motorcycle/Lawn Tractor/ATV battery fresh and ready.

I use mine on my boat to keep the battery charged between trips (no shore power). The cables measure 8 feet but I lose some distance getting to the battery in the battery well of the boat. Mine has been out in the weather for a year and still works great. I'm still trying to find a better way to carry it out into the gulf on the boat when I go fishing.

The weather connectors are good but only about 6' long. I wanted to mount it to a mast at my cabin so I orded the 25' extension cable. You will want tape over them as they don't have an o-rings.

Cables are about six feet long. As for weatherproff; mine has been outside for months and still looks new and works great.

About being weather proof, I don't know I have in mounted inside. The cables are about 5 ft.

If I remember right the cables are 4 or 5 feet long. The unit is in another state so I can't measure it. Extensions with matching plugs are available from many retailers. My solar panel is mounted on a garage roof and after about two years I have had no problems with water damage.

Hi Maria,As per the manufacturer, the wire length between the Solar Panel and the light is 12.5 feet. Please feel free to contact Earthtech Products at any time if you have any additional questions.Best regards,Adrienne MahoneyEarthtech Products

I used them for outdoor holiday lighting. I wound them up "elbow to hand" and them seem to be tangle free. Honestly, I haven't had any tangle problems with them (unlike the Christmas lights).

I'd say water resistant. They tell you in the instructions to not point the lights upward toward the sky. So far, so good with my lights and they have been rained on many times! Installed them this past summer.

Yes, I used mine as outdoor Christmas lights. Part of a strand did not work, but the rest worked well in cold/snowy weather for the few weeks while they were up.

It's water resistant, I wouldn't take it underwater though. Rain should be no problem for these lights...

I've had my two lights installed since December 2013, in my back yard, on two 12 foot poles. They are very bright and I have not had any problems at all. They are waterproof so I don,t see a problem with the installation you have in mind.

It would be much easier & less expensive to buy a 5m (16.5ft) LED strip and cut it to the length you need. A 5M weather proof LED light strip is $9.99 here on Amazon ($0.61ft vs $1.75ft)

The lights are bright. I use two as deck lights on my sailboat. Obviously, they are underwater rated, so they are weatherproof on the ocean. Only issue is the very lightweight swivel mount. But, it hasn't caused a problem.

No. While these lights look great, they would not tolerate outdoors. Rain would short out the electronics and hot summer sun would melt the plastic parts. Sorry!

Attachment to previous message.....Take a look at the solar security lights. I purchased 4 Swiftly Done (motion activated) Bright Exterior LED Solar Powered Lights. I have them in back (wooded lot) they work really well, even on cloudy days they put out bright light.

Mine are about 10 feet up and work great. I have pine trees in the area and still get sun to charge it.

they are made of a thin nylon material. I don't know if they would be weather resistant, as I returned them due to the lights not working right.

There is a weatherproof fitting at the bottom of the fixture where the wire exits. However just two wires exit the fixture and end in a tapping fixture that is meant to be attached to a 12V landscape power cable.

I have mine outdoors in Minnesota winter weather. The light tubes are sealed. I did put weatherproof protection on the power plug to keep it dry.

I use them in my landscape lights. These are sealed to be fairly weatherproof.

Hello my friend Philip,Frankly speaking, I would not recommend you to install this downlight outside. As you can see, it is not waterproof , nor weather-proof.So pls kindly install it for indoor to maintain the downlight a long using lifespan and a good working condition.Any question, pls contact Lemonbest freely, as we're always here for your help.Nice day.Lemonbest
