Can this light take the pounding of mountain bikeing and wet weather ?

Yes, I make this light go through hell and it delivers. Low in battery life but lovely for active mountain bikes

Yes... That's the tipe of bicycle that I have, and I live in Florida... A wet and humidity land

This is my same question. I have some insanely bumpy trails by me and I ride at night so i need a light that lasts.

I only use it on the road not off road. But I do jump of things. The water I have used it in the rain. Hope this helps..

I have used it in the rain with no issues but I would not plan to submerge the light.

I wouldn't suggest it, the fixture offers no weather protection. Maybe in the southwest where there isn't much precipitation.

I would say it has adequate light at low speeds. Bear in mind that most bike generators are 3 watt units, so the generator only has to be delivering one third of its capacity to drive the unit.

I believe it is described by the mfgr. as 'water resistant but I'm not 100% sure on that. Personally, I would have no reservations about using it in the rain, considering the solid construction of the light itself. It is a really nice light that throws a LOT of light. I believe it's worth the money.

Hi Brad,It sure seems to be - I've left mine out in elements here Califonia through some heavy rain and it's been fine - extremely happy with unit and the recharae feature is the way to go. I've inverted mine for a softer light and highly recommend based on my usage !Tom

I don't know how it would do in the rain. It's battery operated. But it's certainly good for emergency lighting. However, the sensor mechanism did stop working for me after 2 months. I can still turn the light on manually but the sensor may not have a long life.

Not really. None of the connections (barring perhaps connection from hub to wire) are ruggedized/weather proof. I wouldn't be too worried in a light sprinkle, or on wet roads, but I wouldn't want to ride in the rain.

I would think it could withstand some rain - however, I haven't tried that as we use a Barbeque grill cover (that also covers the light) whenever we're not using the grill.

Yes, it's really quite bright, so either task could happen with this light. I use mine for outdoor activities as well as reading.

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

I've had mine installed for about a month and have had to drive during a few intense rain storms and have not had any problems it's extremely bright/white led I love it

Actually, it is quite bright (don't know how many lumens) and has a focusing feature, which means that you can go from flood to spot fairly easy. If you are putting up a tent in the dark, it will work fine. If you are caving, it will work good enough to see what is ahead of you, but I would suggest also carrying a much brighter light with you. If you are trying to use it for bicycling at night, it probably won't work for you. Did I cover all of the bases?! It should stand up in the rain - the battery compartment is gasketed, but I've never tried it on the 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.

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 haven't but this light overall is pretty weak. I tried to use it for mountain biking in the evening and it was insufficient. I am instead purchased a 4000 light off of ebay for 30 bucks with a rechargeable battery pack and it was awesome. Only drawback is that it interferes with computer.

I have the light mounted to the house just under the soffit. It is slightly protected from weather (not fully exposed). I know rain and snow have contacted it with no problem.
