Is this light waterproof, especially where subject to heavy rain? Any experience with this?

Short answer is yes. The light is sealed around the edges under the aluminum frame to prevent water intrusion. Should moisture collect inside the light due to condensation from temperature fluctuations there are three drain holes, including the access for the on/off switch on the lower most part of the light, to allow moisture to drain. Weatherproof is a better word to describe it. Because if the light were to be completely submerged it would take on water. With that said, I never noticed any water in my lights. I hope this helps.

I have never used it in rain. Would be ok in light rain. I would keep a water proof bag handy inside backpack for camera

Wouldn't say it is waterproof, it's more water resistant. I haven't had it in the rain for long periods but did accidentally spill water on it, the contents got damp. Hope the info was helpful!

It is definitely not waterproof. I've had it in the rain with no problems. And I believe the manufacturer claims it is water resistant.

Water-proof? No. Water-resistant? Probably. I've had this backpack for approx. 2 months, and have had zero issues commuting to work in the rain without an umbrella. My laptop/notebooks have always stayed dry in light to moderate rain, although I haven't tested it in heavy rain for long distances...and I don't plan on taking the risk, unless absolutely necessary.

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

I had no trouble with a light rain, but I always have my clothes and sleeping bag in waterproof bags. I did purchase a cover for heavier rain.

I didn´t use this bag in a heavy rain, but I can tell you that you can use with a moderate rain.

Mine has done fine in several light to moderate rains. Experience has taught me to always pack a cheap tarp in case the weather turns unexpectedly nasty, but I've not had to use it with this tent so far.

It should handle light rain ok. Super heavy, not so sure, but its a canvas case and would deal ok with getting a little wet.

Mine has not been soaked, but it has withstood rain just fine.But, if you have any doubt I would go ahead and treat it with a water protector.

it is not waterproof. it is a kind of fleece material so I think it is ok for light rain.

I don't think it is waterproof. It is a heavier material though and it doesn't soak through easily. I've never had a problem with it being in the rain. the outside gets wet, but never the inside.

I've used it in the rain with no problems. I wouldn't stick it under water or anything, but if it gets some water on it it should be fine.

I haven't had it submerged in water but I I have been in heavy rain and it worked just fine. But nothing is waterproof. it is very hard for the water to get in. Worth every penny!!!!!
