Will these handle being outdoors in the rain and sun?

According to the specifications it's for indoor use only. I have mine outside but in a fully enclosed fixture so it will not be the weather.

I have had them for two years in shade and they have held up great. They are almost like rock, so I don't think Sun will affect them much.

Yes they are weather resistant but not weather proof (from the docs they supply).

I would say yes, but if they are in direct sun they may get brittle and discolor over time.

I use them outdoors, but they are not directly exposed to rain. For example, I have one installed under the eves of the roof. Another one in a covered entryway. I don't think they are water proof or water resistant.

Not if you leave them out in the rain for hours or they are sitting in a puddle of water. I would say water resistant.

I don't believe they are, although if you can put them in an area that is no directly exposed to rain or snow they might be ok. If you live in an area that gets a lot of rain or humidity, I would contact the manufacturer and see if they can give a bit more information. If you were to put them in a covered patio area, that would help.

No. Unless they are protected from the rain and from freezing temperatures, then they could be used outside

these are well made, and have a O-ring to keep out rain and weather moisture, but I would not recommend them for underwater, submerged use. good luck

I wouldn't put these out in the rain. They're solid brass and the rope is velvet. The rain would ruin them.

Yes, they look durable, and with the rain covers, you should have no problem.

Yes, I have them outside they have been exposed to a lot of rain. So far they are working like a charm

Totally. Ours are used outdoors to block off a certain walk way. However I wouldn't leave them out in the rain.

Not sure because I have never dropped them in the water or had them in the rain, however I do believe they would be waterproof by the way they are made. Sorry I could be of know more help to you in this matter.Regards,Terry L. Shook

Yes! They were built to be weatherproof. Mine sit outside all the time and they are still going

i would say "water resistant" - they do fine in the rain, but i'm not sure how they would do if they were submerged in water! the collar is medium-weight nylon webbing with plastic hardware ... the battery and LEDs are enclosed in plastic, but may not be sealed.
