Is it water proof / resistant ? I was looking to use this lighting system in my back yard.

The cable itself is but the ends do not create a waterproof seal. If you put them underneath something (ie. table) then they'll be fine but covering the ends in both situations is recommended for outdoor use

I didn't use the one I bought so I returned it. But... I wouldn't hesitate to use it outside, as long as you wrap the connections (each end) with electrical tape, or better yet use heat shrink tubing. We used lights under the toe kick of the island in our kitchen. This cord was to be the connector from one side to another, but instead we just continued the LED lights thru the cabinetry to get to the other side. Hope this helps.

I would say no. I am going to use these outside outside though and just seal them up with silicone. I am sure the sun is going to eat up the rubber coating quickly. I have tested some outside and put in ziplocks and it worked even when raining. They work but I am not sure how long they will last.

The connectors are not waterproof. In fact the way the pin connectors on the LED strings are made, the pins could not be made waterproof. You could use this outdoors, and I have, by wrapping the connections with waterproof tape or a dab of silicon after plugging them together. I would not try this in a submerged location. It will be weather resistant, not waterproof

The lamp is not protected against moisture, so my guess is that it probably would be risky. My application was in a lawn tractor which is stored in a garage and so has no serious moisture exposure. If the outside fixture is well sealed against moisture, it may survive. If you want to gamble less use one of the LEDs which are completely enclosed in the glass or plastic "bulb".

I can't answer that.I bought mine for indoor use in the garage.It is not too sturdy so any movement causes the light to flash.So if outdoors the wind may keep it moving and the light flashing.It works great in the garage.I don't know if it is water proof.Hope this helps.

The led lights are water proof but you should insulate the a/c power supply by placing it in a water free area.

No it is NOT waterproof. Rain will definitely kill the light. Great for stage lighting indoors but do not use outdoors without it being under cover.

Doing further research on the light it does mention that it is waterproof and skid proof but examining my light itself here is what I can say. There are thin rubber seals like those found in waterproof watches in the tail cap and the bulb cap. I can't say how well it stands up in real conditions but I have run it under the faucet and no water leaked through the tail or bulb cap. The telescoping part is the only concern I have if using it under long periods of time in rain

I cannot answer as to whether the light is waterproof or not but I do not hesitate to use it in wet conditions. There is an o-ring between the battery and bulb sections which seems to keep moisture out of the light.

I would say water resistant. It's got rubber seals on all the threads but I think it would eventually leak through with a scuba dive. Great light though.

Evans,All the connections on the wiring are considered "water resistant" not "water proof" wiring connections will resist rain but for best results you should use silicone dielectric on the actual connection metal contacts. This will prevent any corrosion in case water does enter the connector.It is a good product, good luck

No. It is neither water or weather-proof. The light is portable with a self-adhering clip. I wouldn't even recommend using the light while in the company of rain or bad weather. Again, it is NOT water or weather-proof. Good Luck :)

Not sure but I know the lights are "water-proof". And as long as the roll / lights don't get kinked so bad that they could sever then I believe you should be ok. I love the product.

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

No, its not water resistant, i use this in Aruba (harsh conditions for electrical stuff) and it stays ok for 4 year now, i use this outdoors under the roof,

I think its pretty weather resistant, wouldn't say waterproof though. As long as your not in a hurricane downpour I think it will hold up pretty well. Would not submerge it though. I have yet to find a brighter light. This is my second Thor light in 10 years, the first was a Thor X 10 million. Bulbs and batteries are replaceable as well. The bulbs are basicly car headlamps.

I have used it exclusively outdoors. I installed about 5 of them. 1 of them went out almost immediately. The others have worked well for about a year now. My lights are under the eaves of the house, and therefore not exposed directly to rain.

They are waterproof from rain that you might encounter on the trail, but haven't tried to soak them in water. Like I said in my post, they might not be the best lights in the market, but they are a great BANG-for-the-BUCS ($$) kinda lights. Have worked perfect for my needs.

Yes, I use it in exactly that application. It doesn't rain much in my area, but I trust the claims that the lights are weatherproof.
