Can these be left outside day &amp; night, regardless of the weather?

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

Yes they can be used outside if they are covered before a rain storm.The only part that isn't painted is the leveling screw that ajusts the height of the seat.This item needs to be oiled from time to time.great item.Vince

I believe so. The directions say they can even be used outside if protected from the weather. These units are both a charger and a charge maintainer for both 6 & 12 volt batteries.

I know this is an old question, but I've had one in our pole light which is inside a fixture of course, but still completely outside. It's worked for over 2 years in -25ºF weather and 100ºF+ weather so I would have NO problem suggesting these for use outside as long as they're not open to the elements. Best 10 bucks I've spent! I now have 5 of these and not one failure.

I would not leave them outside, mine are in the house on my window seat. I hope that helps.

I wouldn't do that. I would recommend storing them in a more climate-controlled environment-- a storage shed, or a garage, where the tempurature isn't going to fluctuate so much from season to season. Just to be safe!

I doubt they would last in the weather. And the adhesive isn't all that strong. Rope lights are designed for outdoors

These lights are not meant for outdoor use, as they are not sealed to keep moisture out. You may be able to use them under an overhang where they are protected from the weather but they wouldn't last long where I live in New England.

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

My understanding they are Not weatherproof. I would not use them outside. But I would recommend them for inside.

I would not recommend keeping them outside. I have used mine outdoors and brought them back in when finished, but I don't think it would hold up if permanently left outside.

I'm not sure if they will be safe to use outside. You probably can, but I use them inside for my night lights.

They seem to be waterproof etc. I've had them outside all summer and fall. They aren't as bright now that the days are shorter.

you should be able to. I leave identical bulbs outside and on 24 hrs per day everyday. They last summer and winter outdoors for years.

I don't know if it can because it doesn't specify....I would say not to use it outdoors because it can get damaged by the weather/elements. It doesn't seem sturdy enough to leave outdoors 24/7, but if you put it out only during the day and bring it in if bad weather occurs, I suppose it might be fine. However, I would advise getting one specifically made for outdoors.

I have tried them in an outdoor lamppost enclosure (rainproof) but they do not last due to degradation from the humidity. < 6 months even with occasional use. I am in the Southeastern USA; maybe in low-humidity regions they would last longer.

Yes, at my place they do appear to stay on all night but never stayed up the entirety of the night to really check. One year roughly now on the current batteries and still going. They appear easy to replace. I believe there is a switch in the back to turn them off if I recall correctly. It provides nice accent or local lighting but don't expect it to light up the entire yard like a spot light.
