How weatherproof is this light?
1284634
I put it under the eave of my mom's house and in about 2 months she said it didn't work too well. I took it down and it was all corroded up inside where the batteries go. Not sure what caused this but I put new batteries in it and it didn't come on, so I cleaned on it a little more and it still wouldn't work...so I tossed it. I don't think I'll buy another one. BTW she lives in Southwest VA. near TN./VA. line, so I don't think wet weather is an issue in this instance. They may have improved them now as this was over a year ago.RKG

I had it over my garage door and the 1st night it rained, water got into the battery compartment and motion sensor. I put it in a bowl of rice for a few days and it got most out to the point to where it would work again. I put a sealant around anywhere that i thought water could get in and it's been great ever since. It just doesnt look the greatest lol. So to answer your question, it isnt weather proof unless you make it that way. Hope i helped.

Well, I have three. One is inside a 7x7x7 refrigerated cooler as an emergency light should there be a power failure or some clown turns off the power -- works fine. The other two are outside but under an overhang. They do not get direct hits from rain but they do get the "weather" -- works fine. They seem well built enough to take direct hits from water, essentially they're a glorified flash light with very little that can go wrong. Plus you don't need to take out a second mortgage to buy one..... I's say, give it a try..........

I had this light out in the Pennsylvania rain and snow all year and it works like a dream.

The LED light and sensor panel are well sealed from outdoor moisture. The battery cover is removable and can't be sealed, but does have a close fit. It may be wise to check the battery terminals for cleanliness when you change batteries. The terminals can be cleaned with WD-40 and Isopropyl alcohol. The WD-40 removes tarnish and corrosion then the alcohol removes the WD-40.

Mine was not waterproof. I have it mounted on my boat on T-Top well above water. Rain easily gets inside and you can see moisture. It still works, but not for unprotected outdoor use without additional sealing. It does put out a lot of light, but for .10 of silicone it could have been waterproof and much better.

It performs very well in low light, but not in a total darkness. It is not weatherproof.

I have used it once in the rain to illuminate a combo lock and it performed fine. I bought it to use in these very conditions so while I cannot say it is "waterproof", I can say it can safely be used in these conditions.

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

This lamp does not have an all weather enclosure, but if you place it in a protected area, it should be fine outdoors.You will need the proper socket for it to work.

I've never gotten it wet enough to know... but the design seems that it would be fine. Keep in mind it's also designed to be used in off-road biking applications: think streams, mud, etc. I wouldn't hesitate using it in the rain. Don't know if you've ever had a light before, but I upgraded from their 100 Lumin. This one is incredible.

Don't think it's because your using outdoors, it's labeled for indoor or out door use. I use two of them in my outdoor security lights, and have not had any problems. My lights are protected by the roof overhang, but even if they weren't the fixture is sealed well enough to keep the weather out. it sound like others have mentioned, a loose bulb, or a loose electrical wire connection

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.

it says its water resistant, i believe that the connection between the battery and the light is very secure and is water tight, i wouldn't recommend dunking this in water but for rain i think you are A okay. as far as the lumens i believe it is closer to 1200. the directions you get with the box are very vague but if you look on youtube there are many more features with it

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.

I have installed two outside in a lighting fixture similar to the "Nautical Outdoor Burnished Bronze 8 in. Outdoor Wall Light" sold on Amazon.com, mine was purchased locally . The fixtures protect the lights from direct rain and are inside a glass globe, however it is not sealed with a gasket.They run from dusk to dawn on a timer. To date I have had zero issues.

Yes it is waterproof and weather proof. However it is certainly not bright. The 28 LED advertised is somewhat misleading. It is like holding a candle in a large forest.

This is a nice lamp. It is rated for indoor and outdoor use. I personally would not expose it to full water flow from rain, but under the eves or roof should be fine. I used mine in canned lighting indoors.

Yes. I have not had any issues with it in the rain or snow. It is covered in an outside light fixture so the fixture protects it from the rain and snow. It is the best outside bulb I have ever had. I turned it on the first time and have not turned it off -- it comes on at dusk and turns off when it gets light in the morning. I searched and searched for a bulb this great and finally found the perfect outside bulb.

I bought one last fall and the light is weather proof and worked well all winter and is still working as good as new. I plan to add one more before winter. Stephen

I live in Phoenix. Rain is not an issue. Sorry, I can't help. I can tell you I've had the light for over a year and it works great.
