Can this light be used outdoors, where it would be exposed to occasional but heavy rain and/ or snow?

No. It is neither water or weather-proof. The light is portable with a self-adhering clip. I wouldn't even recommend using the light while in the company of rain or bad weather. Again, it is NOT water or weather-proof. Good Luck :)

NO! Unless you want to short everything out. IF you put it under the eave of a house - Maybe!

It can be used outdoors as long as you protect it from direct exposure to rain, snow, etc. I have used one successfully outdoors mounted under the overhang on a house.

The lamps are not specifically rated for outdoor use, but I have 2 of them in the ceiling outside my front door and don't expect any problems there. My opinion is that they will be fine as long as they are not getting rain-drenched. I plan to put them in my exterior flood fixtures that are kind of funnel shaped and the bulbs fit well inside them.

Sure. If it isn't exposed to rain or, maybe, direct sunlight like in Arizona in the summer. I do have cfls outdoors but not this particular model.

Thank you for asking!They are often used outside, however they are not designed to withstand rain or snow.Peg Schmidt, LED Lytes

Yes, I use it in exactly that application. It doesn't rain much in my area, but I trust the claims that the lights are weatherproof.

Dear Kay, Yes, you may use this outdoors and it comes with with a glass protective cover for the bulb. I hope this information is helpful for you. -Cory, Plow & Hearth Customer Service

I believe so. The lights themselves are not water resistant, but there should be a layer of rubber-like protective coating that should keep the lights from getting wet. I would not trust these to last long outside in the weather but if they were to get damp or slightly wet it shouldn't be a problem.

I would not use it outside as it is not weather tight. In a place without direct exposure, it may work for a while.

I would say yes, provided the light bulb is protected from precipitation. I have mine underneath the eve of my house and they do fine. If it is out in the rain/snow, I don't know how it would hold up.

I don't see why not as long as it is somewhat protected and not laying in or subjected to heavy rains. Mine is out all winter and subjected to snow and rain but it is about four feet off the ground with lights plugged in from beneath so water does not drain into the plug.

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.

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.

I am not sure how "protected" the area would be, however, this light is for indoor use only. I wouldn't recommend use outside due to moisture, etc.

This is definitely not weather resistant and would most likely cease to function or create risk of electrical fire if used out of doors. If left outside only during good weather it would probably be fine.

The beam is covered with a suede material that I would not leave outside to get wet. I do not see a reason you could not take it outside to use as long as you did not leave it out for rain or sun damage.
