Mine have been in the weather for months & months, fall winter spring. They are a little faded but still spinning Ana shining in the garden

I have had these for 2 months and they still look new after many rainfalls,no fading.

The sun fades them and the wind, if strong enough will make them disappear, but the rain doesn't seem to affect them.

The pinwheels are totally waterproof. But after being exposed to sun in six months they will fade but the metallic part will remain

yes, don't worry, they can take water for sure... we use them on a raft and they get battered with waves on windy days.

I bought these early last year. Half broke. They're waterproof but fade easily and quickly. I did not order new ones for this season. Guess I got my money's worth in use but not happy with them.

They aren't weather proof. They are labeled weather resistant. My two are outside but under cover out if the rain.

Yes, Unit is water proof! I have one on my trolling unit up from and another mounted on my console, in all types of weather - haven't had any problems!

Not totally waterproof! I didn't know and installed one close to a tree. After a rain, it quit transmitting. It says to install it out of direct rain. So that's why mine quit working after a bad rain and it was out in the rain!

It's fine to ride with it in the rain, but after a while, or if it sits in permanently wet conditions (for example if it sits with a lot of snow on top), moisture might seep inside, which interferes with the on/off/flash switch's functioning. There is a gasket, but I've found that this happens anyway. There is a lifetime warranty on the product, though you have to send the light away before they will send you a new one.

They will be fine in a wet environment. Mine have weathered countless heavy thunderstorms and strong winds with no problems. Highly recommend them.

I've had that happen to a big air plant "ball". I could be the root (even though they're only used for securing themselves to rocks and wood) may have gotten too much water or the plant itself may have been watered too frequently.

Haven't used mine in the rain, yet. I, personally, wouldn't hold it under water, but, I imagine, it would work in a light rain. It would be a good idea to lightly grease all "0" rings occasionally. Also, I don't use mine on high unless I need a massive light, to save battery life.

In my experience, they don't last long enough to be able to determine if they're truly waterproof or not. I think they're SUPPOSED to be waterproof, but mine stopped working within a few weeks of my putting them up. Apparently, there's SOMETHING outside that they're not "-proof" to. Good luck!

I have used mine outside and it worked great no issues. My guess would be moisture and such that may cause problems.

Pete: Sorry, I cannot attest to its outdoor worthiness. I suggest you contact the manufacturer for the reliable answer. Perhaps others may post responses from their own experiences.

I've used it outdoors in the rain and no issues. I can see nothing on it that is subject to water issues... it's like a lawn mower, or snow blower in that regard as far as how I've used it.

I've had mine since last fall and they have been outside through rain and snow and I've had no problems with them getting wet.

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.

My experience has not been as positive as the other responders in wet weather. The light was mounted to my seat stem and the water flung from the rear tire hit the bottom of the light and even with the rubber plug in place water gets into the light. I don't ride in rain very often (maybe 3 times over the past year), but the water has caused the electronics to corrode and the light now will not charge.

I have not had any issues at all and they have sat outside since I installed them last spring. One is even cracked from me hitting it with a log and it works fine even in rain and snow.

I have mine outside in an unprotected area, doesmn't sem to affect them. Might be a good idea to protect them though,m just a rain shield or something. AJ
