Doubt it if u really want to use them use common sense when turning them on and beware they don't even come with the right mounting brackets mine are still in my kitchen pist

That's what I expect to do during hurricanes. My parents use the garden type solar lights for that all the time, even when camping off the grid.

I don' know if they are intended for outdoor use. However, I live near a beach and almost everything reacts to the humid and ocean spray conditions. After about 2 years these fixtures have held up very well.

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.

Dont see why not, but why not run a compact fluorescent instead. These are very well made fixtures, heat should not be a problem either way.

NO WAY!! it may be "Water resistance" for Rain at best. The claim of 1600 Lumen is also totally False.

There is a lot of light lost through the umbrellas. If its daytime, outside, I'd say yes. Otherwise, invest in an umbrella with better reflective ability, maybe box style. You'll also want to get stronger bulbs.

I agree with supaJStudios,it is merely the color of the light that will be change.yes they should work.

Yes you can. It works real good on bright sunny days. I hardly ever use the illumination.

I believe you could, but do note that the instructions state that it "should not be in a be canopy or hood", so it might have heat issues. Also I would worry about the power of this light because it could cause algae blooms/green water if you are not dosing co2.

We have them mounted where they only get indirect sun light and have had no problem with them other than filling with rain water.

NO However, they are not water proof and with exposed contacts, could short out. Note that the center for a connection is supposed to be positive but often is not. The lamps will not work unless polarity is correct, they are diodes after all.

I would say no. The lights are very heavy. You really have to have a hoop pole that is cemented in the ground. I would't take a chance with these lights.

There is a motor and LED light in this unit, its not made for outdoor but if it makes any difference, I had 2 that were left out for Christmas and they got wet. I dried them out and they work perfect. One larger problem with using it outdoor if the condensation is high, the lens will fog. They make outdoor projection housings made for putting items like this outdoors but the environmental housing costs more than this light.

You could, but they face out. The are intended to light up the edge of the road and around corners. The have a slight angle to the glass face.

I don't know. Looking at the construction, I doubt they would short out in rainy conditions. The upper socket can't get rain water in it as its facing upwards. The lower sockets, not much, if any, because they are generally facing downwards. But, they could be rotated so that wind and rain might get in. Others say they can be used outdoors... they probably are right, considering their experience, and the construction.

Yes, they can be used outside provided they are installed in a weatherproof, waterproof enclosure. I use them as accent landscape lighting to light the peaks of my home and they look great. Not to bright but not too dark.
