is this water proof when placed on the lawn?

Greetings---Here in the rainy northwest US (and an island to boot), I can tell you that throughout our very cloudy, rainy and overcast fall and winter so far, the lights have managed to store enough solar energy to come on each night. They are currently sitting on top of the wooden steps (landscape timbers) which lead to our basement. However, I plan to rout out a square to about half their depth in which to place them (some day when it's sunny). I will also be drilling a weep hole so that any water that might accumulate has a place to exit. So far, so good, and they're quite bright, which is always helpful for steps!

Yes. I have them on my walkway, and they are fine. I set them out on my deck when I first got them, and to date, they have not absorbed any water. I have had mine for a year, and absolutely love them! I got compliments on them all the time.

Th ones that I have are sitting on pavers, but they are in the sprinkler water coverage for the lawn. So they do get watered, but are not directly on the lawn.

Yes, but I would being them in over the winter. They don't seemed to weather well in extreme temps.

Sorry I will not have them outside till the Spring as we have 4ft of snow on the ground

What I've heard is don't allow Anyone or thing on the lawn until it fully dries. http://www.pbigordon.com/pdfs/Q4-SL.pdf

Yes, it is water proof up until where you plug the cord into the box. I've used mine in the water at the beach with no problems.

No, I believe it is only water resistant. I have mine outside under the awning of my roof and it has done fine with the rain. Although, I would not leave it exposed to full on pouring rain.

No, it is not. A little water-resistant but don't leave it in the rain. Thanks for the Yes vote!

I've only used it under cover at the range. I don't know if it's waterproof.

Sorry, but I would not purchase this for outdoor use unless it is protected by a covering of some sort. I left mine out in the open and it was damaged after it got wet from the rain.

I don't know for sure the answer to this, but if I had to guess I would say No, it is not waterproof. It is, however, easy to set up and take down, so perhaps you could take it down when done? Good luck.

It is not "waterproof" - the manufacturer calls it "water resistant". It does come with a clear plastic (vinyl) rain cover for use outdoors.

I had it over my garage door and the 1st night it rained, water got into the battery compartment and motion sensor. I put it in a bowl of rice for a few days and it got most out to the point to where it would work again. I put a sealant around anywhere that i thought water could get in and it's been great ever since. It just doesnt look the greatest lol. So to answer your question, it isnt weather proof unless you make it that way. Hope i helped.

It is not meant to get wet. However, there is someone who shared pictures on Facebook after they accidentally ran it through a project through the dishwasher and it held up. If you are going to put it outside I would suggest sealing it with something waterproof.. or weather resistant.

It is water resistant but not water proof. So I would say the answer to your question is no.

I've used it in the rain with no problems. I wouldn't stick it under water or anything, but if it gets some water on it it should be fine.

It would probably be okay outside. I wouldnt want it on the lawn though - you should have it on a harder more stable surface. But otherwise - I would think outside would be fine. However for long term durability - I'd recommend this though only for inside ... maybe get a little tikes set for outside?

Don't believe it is water proof. If used in a watertight enclosure with a Plastic "While in Use" cover you may be able to use it outdoors.

I have had mine outdoors since I've had it and have not had no problems with it. It has rained on it plenty. That is a good question I assume it is

I wouldn't say it is waterproof, but it's pretty water tight. Mine is installed under a covered porch. I don't think it would hold out water if submersed, but unless it is subjected to severely heavy rain regularly, I think it would be okay.
