Is this light truly waterproof as described? I.e., can I use it on an outdoor post?

Yes. I have had them attached to the top of a carport for some months, and the rain (we get a lot) does not seem to bother them at all. A downside, though, is that one of each pair I got never worked, while the other worked fine. I had to buy two pair to get a single good pair of lights.

Went tru 2 days of rare rain in Vegas and held up well. Thinking of getting more.

I do not know. It is advertised as waterproof for camping etc. I purchased mine strictly for a strong indoor light (which it has) in case of power outage.

This particular LED lights is not intended for outdoor use. There are some water proof LED outdoor lights available in the market.

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.

Sort of. You see the picture with the 2 flanges sticking out. That piece fits on a 4x4 post but I had to shave off those 2 flanges. One light stopped working after a few months because water got into the top. THey are not very weather resistant.

I have used it in the rain with no issues but I would not plan to submerge the light.

I don't think it's explicitly waterproof. Definitely not submersible, but it may do well in light rain for short amounts of time. Just keep a flashlight handy :)

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.

Can this be used outdoors in a mostly enclosed (bottom is slightly open) post fixture?

I would not recommend it outside. However, I am disappointed in the light itself. It's not a "wow" light. It's small and not made as nicely as I would have expected. It's just an okay light! I hope that helps!

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.

I suspect not, since if it were, it would likely be marketed as such. However it appears well sealed and is likely water "resistant," whatever that means. I have been very pleased with this light.

I wouldn't say it was "weather proof" but I would say you could bring it outside to use for a party as long as it wasn't raining. It is powered by an electric cord but it is also chargeable. I've never used the lights without it plugged in, so I couldn't tell you how long the charge lasts.

As far as I know it's not rated for outside use. There is a small cooling fan inside the light that may break if it gets wet. Great light for inside use if you don't mind hearing the built in cooling fan ( not that loud)

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

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

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
