Would these work in a protected outdoor area that will still get some rain?

I doubt it. They are indoor only. Definitely could wash off with repeated water exposure. However, you could coat them with a water proofing paint or an acrylic coating.

if the area is covered they would work fine. direct sun on them might make them a little warm to sit on.

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

If they are outdoor, they should be waterproof, Right? But they don't see to be. All three that I ordered have quit working in the first week probably due to high humidity and some rain.

They are for "outdoor" use but I don't think that these ones would last very long in the open with lots of rain and sun

I wouldn't think so, they are not rated to be used outdoors. That being said, you could probably enclose them in some sort of plastic bag or something, to keep the rain and snow off.

I don't know if they were designed to be waterproof, but I used them outside in the rain and had no problems.

Absolutely NOT !!These flashlights are waterproof meaning that if some rain falls on them they may still work. Do not put in water.

Yes and no. I wouldn't recommend them on grass as they would slide on you. If on concrete or other, they should be fine but don't expect to body slam people on these as they aren't super thick. And like the other said, I'd take them in every time. Rain is not your friend.

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.

They work very well outside. I have mine on my outdoor deck stairs and I live in a rainy enviornment. They are intact and no issues.

Yes they can be used outdoors. I have had mine outside for about over a year. They work perfectly, rain or shine.

I don't see why not - especially if the area is shielded from direct sun/rain - it's cheap enough - try it!

Okay for rain but not water puddles, they are water resistant but not water proof

I don't believe that it would charge to well if it was raining (no sun). The electronics are mounted underneath the panels, should be protected.

These speakers can be in the outdoors but I would not put them in areas that get direct rain or snow. They are perfect for covered patios etc.

I would say probably not, unless you have them someplace protected from weather extremes. Did you try calling Bose? They're usually very helpful over the phone.
