HOW WATERPROOF IS THE BAT LIGHT?

Mine was left out in the rain, water came in through the switch dust cover and corroded the switch.

The Bat Light is tight enough to be waterproof. Wouldn't worry about it. Hope this helps.

I haven't soaked it, but it does have O-rings on the threaded portions. Put a little grease on the threads and I'd -guess- it should handle anything not involving total submersion for very long.

Ron, I own a bat light but have honestly not attempted to submerge in water to determine reliability. Sorry! However, I do like the overall construction and weighted balance of the light. It's great for evenings walking at dusk or dark when you need extra light or as a weapon to fend off dogs or other predators. I recommend this item.

It is fairly heavy due to the 3 large batteries (D), but there are a couple holes in the base for mounting on screw heads. I don't believe the unit is waterproof however.

Yes the light is waterproof and works great. I have mine on my atv which gets road pretty hard and I love it.

There's an o-ring to make a seal for the battery, but I wouldn't say that makes it waterproof. For the depths you go for scuba diving that require a flashlight, I wouldn't go the cheap road and just pony up the money for a light made for scuba diving.

I don't think it's waterproof - at least it doesn't say so on the lamp itself. There are no weatherproof gaskets on the battery compartment so I wouldn't trust it in damp weather. But it is portable so you could use it on a picnic table in the evening without a problem provided you take it back in the house later.

Yes, it is water proof. And submersible, too. I recently used it in a search and rescue mission on a boat in the Kuskokwim River during a windy and rainy night here in rural Alaska this weekend. Worked without fail. Very bright light, saw our target (broken down motor boat with 2 people aboard) from a long way off. I'm sure my light was heavenly to them.

This flashlight is not waterproof. If it were waterproof, it would have said so in the description.

No, it's not waterproof. I bought mine hoping that the military - style cover would protect it from the occasional splash exposure on my pontoon boat, and had to replace it within a month, after 1 rainstorm. Get one with an add - on boot. You won't get the pretty light, but you'll have a switch that works when you need it.

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

It looks very well sealed to my eyes - there's an o-ring sealing the battery enclosure, for example. I don't think you'd want to fully immerse it, but I think it would handle rainy weather. It's a great little lantern - and it's small - nice light, warmer color temperature than most LEDs and well made.

You need a dive light if you want a WATERPROOF flashlight. This cannot be submerged underwater.

No. It is not waterproof. There are open plug ports and configuration switches on the back of the lights.

I've worn it in light shower through my 15 minute walk to work. During that time the battery compartment has kept water out. But I would probably add a little non adhesive silicon seal in the battery seams for extra protection. The lamp part appear well sealed to handle heavier rain.

I know it's water resistant; not sure of water proof, which I would imagine would allow it to be immersed in H2O. Best light I own, and have had it for years! Worth the price.

Should be no problem being waterproof but expect only a soft glow from this model. If you need a brighter source of light I would suggest a different, waterproof model.

I've never gotten it wet enough to know... but the design seems that it would be fine. Keep in mind it's also designed to be used in off-road biking applications: think streams, mud, etc. I wouldn't hesitate using it in the rain. Don't know if you've ever had a light before, but I upgraded from their 100 Lumin. This one is incredible.

It has a decent O ring on the barrel. I'd say it's safely water resistant for normal use, but I wouldn't dive with it. It's a great light!
